Because Mahomes doesn't need a great receiver to be productive. But he can't so much bring roster chaff up to NFL caliber starters, either.
There's diminishing marginal returns on talent at WR once you get past 'NFL' level. He can't make much more out of Hill than Hill's capable of on his own. And he can't make Demarcus Robinson into a 700 yard guy.
But give him 3 Richie James sorts and he can get more out of them than you'll pay for. And that's absolutely critical going forward as he's not getting any cheaper and the caps not gonna get any easier to navigate.
So cap efficiency is critical and more depth is going to yield more efficiency for us than more ceiling.

While I agree… Kelce is WR1 whether we call him that or not. He’s as good as a “WR1”, at half the salary of one. I have nothing but faith in Veach/Reid/Mahomes, but I hope one of these guys turns into WR1 because we only have so much time left with Zeus.
