And in '22, we had more 'explosive plays', more yards, scored more TD's and were much more efficient all around.

So, 'despite our statistical production last year' is really saying 'despite actual evidence to the contrary'.

It would be GREAT to have a star WR, but it's not a wise investment to go BUY one, because no, statistically speaking, and with a full season's worth of evidence, this offense is more efficient AND explosive when it spreads the ball around. If you go BUY an elite WR, then you have to justify that cap number and the offense becomes more predictable, like Hill in 2021.

I'm all for drafting WR's high. I'm hopeful that Toney can stay healthy, because if he can, then we have a top end WR right there.

But I'm not for paying over 30 WR's that haven't finished a season since 2020.

Now, if Veach goes for it, alright, but that doesn't fit anything he's done at all for the last four years. He hasn't shelled out big money for anyone over 30.

The biggest concern I have is that Kelce is so good still that he's our pseudo #1 WR. Take him out and who does Mahomes go to in must convert situations? KC will have to address this sooner or later. Not saying Hopkins is the solution, but it is something that will need addressing. Our offense was diverse last year, but look at Kelce's numbers. They went to him a lot and rightfully so despite the "diversity".
