He does it with speed and he really shines when he can play opposite of a #1 WR to draw away some of the defensive pressure. Kelce played that role for us and Waddle is doing it in Miami. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him back in a heartbeat, but he is not a prototypical #1. I'd just really like to see what Mahomes could do with a true dominant #1 WR.

Yeah, this is the key point. Our offense will be more than fine. Mahomes and Reid will make it work. They did that and then some last year. it's not panicking that we'll suck. I don't think people appreciate how high this offenses ceiling is if we did have talent at WR. In fact I think a huge problem in 2020 was Sammy Watkins was way more valuable than we realized. You put even a middling (but true) WR1 with the quality depth we have in our new WR room and I don't think anyone will ever assume again that our ceiling is an efficient catch and run offense.
