The only way to build what the Chiefs, Bengals, Bills etc. have is to push all your career's chips in on one guy.

And that's why a smart executive would do both.
It's what the Chiefs did with Smith/Mahomes. They had it coming and going.
Get your veteran with a year or two left on his deal and while you have a shit team with a high end draft pick, take your chances on a high ceiling young guy.
Because at worst, the young guy craters and you still have a solid veteran in your pocket. And you keep your job.
