Which leads me to believe that WRs are still probably important to the scheme.

I mean, if RBs are the new face of the Chiefs, then why didn't Veach draft one sooner than the 7th round? Why just resign a couple backups, retain CEH?

I mean, Pacheco is pretty good, but he had to undergo two surgeries after just his first season, so you'd think Veach would've been pretty focused on finding a couple solid options if he got dinged up.

Or at least just to lighten the load for him in 2023.

And there were several much better RB prospects both in the draft and FA if that were the case, weren't there?

Instead, the RB room was kind of treated like an afterthought.


As for hand-wringing, well I guess i just don't get the warm fuzzies about our WR room when they totaled just 81 yards receiving in the SB. When they ranked outside the top-10 in total yards/TDs in 2022. I think that's a little concerning. Especially when our projected WR1 has played just one complete season in five years.

Nobody is saying WRs aren't important. At least I'm certainly not. I really wish you could make a sensible argument without distorting mine.
