They went to him a lot and rightfully so despite the "diversity".

Sure. Kelce's age is a concern. I think his game will age well, because a lot of it is based on just knowing exactly where to sit down against zone, and a weird telepathy with Patrick.
As for what would happen should Kelce miss time, well, we don't really know. Is it entirely possible that Noah Gray steps up? Not that he would equal Kelce, but enough to keep the offense functional?
We haven't seen it in the game, because the situation hasn't happened. But we're not at every practice. We don't know. What Veach does the rest of the way and through the draft will tell us what the front office and coaching staff thinks.
There will be additions to the WR room, I'm sure. I don't see a reason for pessimism, though. This team isn't complete, and neither is any other. I mean, look at The Bills. Look at Cinci. Are they better RIGHT NOW than at the end of the year? Definitely not.
It's real early in the offseason, and I trust Veach.
