Here is my main issue with the whole thing. A majority of Chiefs fans, either on here...or Twitter...or wherever are in this mindset that it's either WR in the first or the draft is an F and Veach has failed.
That's ****ing stupid as shit. The idea that trading up into the 10-15 range at whatever cost to draft Jameson Williams is the only way this draft is a success is shortsighted and stupid.
Does that mean that it can't happen? No. Does that mean that I think Veach is an idiot if he does it? No. I'll always have the thought that we could have better utilized the resources that we had in other ways. But I'll understand why they did it.
The difference is that if it happens....I'll understand. If the Chiefs, however, choose to not take a WR in the first round....a majority of fans are going to lose their collective minds. They're in the WR in the 1st or bust category and that thinking is how you get Breeland Speaks on your team.
They don't understand that there might be 5-6 WRs slotted to go in the first round but 3 of those WRs might not fit your scheme. One might be off their board because of medicals or off the field shit. So if you only have 2 WRs as first round grades and they go well before you're up....it's not just reach on a WR that's next on your list because you need one.
