Yup - the amount of capital the Steelers have plowed into WRs over the Reid era has more than doubled what KC has, especially when you start to factor in the 'draft value chart' figures.
Gotta pay to play. And just like the LB position, if/when the Chiefs start to target the area, they'll start to get results. It won't be a 100% hit rate, but if they just keep taking swings, it won't have to be.
I'd be fine taking a 2nd round WR every single year. Maybe some years a 1st, some years a 3rd, but if you put roughly 2nd round draft capital into your WR room on an annual basis, you're gonna to have a strong, deep WR corps that is more than enough for Mahomes to work with.
The position just isn't as unstable or unpredictable in the draft as some others are. It's pretty projectable, especially if you have a smart HC and capable QB...
