Don't bring up how he was better than Juju 3 years ago either, because he's not that guy anymore.
Even if they thought DHop is a better player now than Juju it still wouldn't make sense. The Chiefs know Juju is a 1000 yd guy in this offense if he plays 17 games (933 in 15 games last year) and if they think Hopkins is a 1200 yd guy, then you really think they think Hopkins is worth $6 mil/yr more + draft pick(s)?
It just doesn't make any sense.

If Hopkins gets 1000+ yards and stays healthy (i get that healthy is an if) how is it even a question that this is better than juju? The offense opened up juju. The reason some are interested in a WR1 is we HAVE to give mahomes a bailout option. We can’t keep expecting him to do magic tricks in the pocket to get guys open.
Remember the days of “**** it, tyreek somewhere”? Mahomes deserves a bailout option who can actually make adjustments to the ball and catch anything remotely close to their body. We need a legit red zone option so we’re not running circus plays on short yardage or fields. And even though I love our efficient offense, it sure as hell would be nice to go deep again instead of relying exclusively on Mvs and holding your breath that he’ll adjust to the ball. If DHop is even somewhat close to what he once was, then less than $20m is an absolute steal
Really don’t think people process how much better this offense gets with a legit WR1. Despite our statistical production last year
