Or why our offense wouldn't have looked very very different in a good way if we had Tyreek with juju next to him.
Last season was a really good step. Mahomes matured as a QB. We finally built the depth we should've built years ago. We finally gave mahomes a RB. So what happens if you actually add in a legit WR1? Why wouldn't that just build on our improvements from last season?

You could, and they could have, except that because they're spending that money on a WR1, you don't have money to sign a Taylor and/or an Omenihu, so you have to continue to draft those positions instead. Spend in one place, you can't in another. So you have to draft for it.
They were willing to pay Tyreek to a point, and the pivoted because it was going to cost them too much in other areas. I really don't understand why this is so difficult for people to grasp. Yes, they were willing to pay Tyreek, probably up to $20m, knowing it would cost them in other places on the roster; they pivoted when the price got too steep and went in another direction.
Maybe you think they want to pivot back, but they've committed all of the cap room to other positions (like the offensive line), and spent serious draft resources on WR instead. I'd like to see Mahomes on two legs in a SB. It's been awhile. But that's just me.
It's really quite plain to see, if you're willing to see it. If you want to stick your fingers in your ears and dream of Deandre Hopkins, feel free, but that's all it is.
We're drafting and developing our WR room, and rolling with Mahomes and an improved defense while we do so.
