I think he's changed to a team that has a ton of depth. A team that's good across the board instead of two all world players on each side of the ball and then trash because of it.

Nah, i don't believe you. I'm looking at the moves he's done, and based on his history, he's still after his cornerstone piece. Orlando Brown to finish off his rebuilt OL, so to speak.
We know he was willing to pay $21M+ a season on a star WR. Just not $30M. So i'm not buying that they're avoiding a guy they have to pay.
What i WILL buy though, is that they're willing to trade for a young star player that they can kick the contract down the road for a season or two.
The Chiefs can afford a #1, they just couldn't afford Tyreek.
After spending the last week reviewing receivers, i've come to the conclusion that the guys they like won't be there, much like the OT situation last season. As you've said, they're much more likely to target a guy on day two. But day two guys aren't your #1. ONE of those 1sts will be used to secure a DE. The other will be used to secure a WR.
And since Veach is missing his cornerstone for his WR room, and since no blue chippers will be available when they pick, i think they flip that 1st for a cornerstone WR to round off that room.
As far as Shenault goes, he doesn't fit the bill. I think once they signed MVS, our room of #2'/3's just became too crowded.
