Yes, the deal might cost us A good player. The idea that we can’t form a respectable team around Mahomes is ridiculous though. If we draft well, no one will ever regret this deal.

Exactly. Even if this deal was crippling to the Chiefs future roster situations, and it is not, what do they expect the team to do?
"Sorry, Pat, we know you're one of the best quarterbacks in the entire history of the sport, but we are just going to have to let you go because we do not want to cripple ourselves when it comes to future roster management. Thanks for the SB, see ya later."
