You and I are both good with the current experiment even if I’d like to be even more aggressive. I didn’t like the pre draft mentality that we just need quality depth kelce and mahomes can elevate. That’s how we wait and wait for guys like skyy to fall to us. I’ve warmed up to our wr approach once we went all in on rashee/Ross. And you have to admit you’re warming up to what a wr1 talent can do now that you’re seeing even flashes of what that can do to elevate our offense.
Good. So let’s keep on the gas. We saw the bar we need to raise if kelce ever regresses. and it’s going to require a legit wr1 and quality depth.

paying a top level WR is a LOT of money, and not money wisely spent if your goal is to draft and develop a young WR corps you can have cost controlled for multiple seasons.
A band-aid? Ritchie James is a band-aid. He caught 57 balls and was a first down machine with Danny Dimes. That's your insurance policy. 'In case Skyy Moore just doesn't have it, break glass'.
I think what the Chiefs have done is VERY aggressive. They went all in. They took three big swings and bought a lottery ticket in a twelve month time span.
If James is the best receiver at the end of the season, you can complain. Not if he has the best aggregate numbers- if he's the guy you want to feed in the play-offs, then you win, you were right, and I'll be complaining, too.
