Seems like we're both arguing from opposite extremes here.
While your concern is regarding these hard line, "MUST" take a WR in the 1st guys, my argument is against all this silly talk about how drafting one in the 1st, or trading up is a waste of resources because Mahomes is some miracle man that will make shitty WR's good.
That's such a ridiculous line of thinking.
The Chiefs already put so much on Mahomes, and that won't ever change. He's the goddamn franchise QB.
It's seems silly to me to say, "well, we're going to put everything on Mahomes and give him LESS to work with" Dafuq?
If we're going to be a team built around Mahomes, (we are) then we should be throwing as many resources at him to help him be the best Mahomes he can be.
This whole, "we don't need to spend draft capital on a blue chip WR" is completely counter to what's made the Chiefs and Mahomes so successful all these years, and it's what's held GB and Rodgers back.
You're right, the Chiefs don't HAVE to draft a WR in the 1st. But if they do, and even if they have to trade up to do it, it's certainly not a waste. It's not something they should be looking to avoid just because we have Mahomes, like a WR is a goddamn 1st round RB or something.
It's not a waste of resources. It's building upon your strength.

Actually don't disagree with any of this really.
My argument against trading up is almost exclusively against Jameson Williams and it has nothing to do with whether or not we NEED to draft a WR. It's that there's a half dozen guys all jammed into the same group and people want to target a player out of that group that probably won't even play to start the season.
No matter how you slice it, that IS a waste of resources, at least in the immediate term.
That being said, it's also not going to piss me off. NOTHING they could do will piss me off.
