I mean if you see 50 targets between Toney and More turning into 100 targets between the two of them, you need to backfill 50 more targets. Is that ideal given the bottom of our present WR room? No. But is it untenable? Nah - there are still some available options and the draft.
It isn't Hopkins/OBJ or bust here.

Exactly right. But that's just the thing - you're suggesting the Chiefs have options. Lots of options, actually because there are potential players out there that will move without us even knowing they're available.
The main reason replacing Hill worked was because Juju was able to get decent production all by himself. He didn't replace Hill but he replaced enough of his production to still win.
If we're now talking about replacing Juju with a player who will replace less of Juju's snaps and we're a full step further away from having Hill.
There comes a point where getting cheaper and cheaper at a position has diminishing returns. We are at that point with WR's now. In fact, I bet they built this WR room knowing they can get someone, whether it be Hopkins or OBJ or whoever.
There's NO WAY that we go into this next season with this WR corps plus a guy from the draft.
