This isn't even as much about Hopkins as it is the position in general - they need *someone* they can not only count on, but that will take some attention away from Kelce in that room - and I'm sorry - but we're going to have to be insanely lucky for it to be someone currently on the roster.

Well, I don't think there's any way in hell this season is a waste, not even if they don't do a single thing between now and September at WR.
I think the worst case scenario is that Toney doesn't play much, Skyy is a bust, and we're like...around fifth in offense. But I expect the defense to make big strides with all of those rookies in year two, so I still fully expect to be right there in the play-offs, and at least in the AFCCG again. I mean a team that's top five in offense AND defense and has Mahomes? Yeah, I'd take those odds.
But I don't think that's what's going to happen, and if Veach and Reid think that might happen, they would've signed a Hopkins or a Beckham, and they'd have done it early when they had the money.
They don't now, not really, not without hurting the team in other spots, and soon.
We don't need to sell out for any ONE season right now. Maybe when Mahomes is 38, not 28 you do something like that.
I just think that Veach and Reid have a very different perspective on the WR room than we as fans do.
