I think that throw was intended for Watkins (or whoever was far wide on the right) - and probably would have worked if Kelce didn't drag his two defenders into the target area as the ball got there. No way those routes were intended to converge like that in the same spot. I think Kelce was supposed to sit in the middle, and improvised once he saw Mahomes scramble.
The defender on the receiver had no play on the ball - which was thrown perfectly once the receiver started a break to his left.
