Kelce is 33 and 10 years in the league... no real signs of slowing down, but the window will start soon and KC needs to look 2-3 years down the road and prepare for life without him as the stud. At that point, if KC does not find the next great TE, then yeah they will need a stud WR.
I don't think they need to overpay for a WR right now, not sure I would be a fan of the getting OBJ or Hopkins unless the price were right. KC can find guys like MVS and JJS every year for a relative bargain. And, with Pacheco, he adds the dimension they've missed since moving on from Hunt.

Excellent analysis MHM !! And there's the rub 'in bold'. IF Kelce goes down we really don't have a serious threat at WR in the red zone. Juju is coming along knowing the offense better but not quite there yet and Toney is just beginning. You make a great point about Pacheco BUT if Kelce goes down defenses will stack the box even moreso. I'm all for DHop IF he plays ball financially!!
