2 years ago we had WR1 but no quality depth. Even if we tried (debatable) we didn’t have it. Lacking depth was a much bigger reason for our cincy struggles than tyreek was.
Last year we adjusted. Originally we planned to play juju off of tyreek until tyreek last minute rejected us. It worked better than expected. And youre right that the minimum bar for to be a Super Bowl contender may be just to have our depth + juju level primary target. Even those who want more priority on WRs recognize that..
But we’ve gotten push back any time we suggest we can use resources to get better. And not just $ (which I get). It’s not that people mind using draft picks, it’s that people were content if we didn’t. better to pump a bunch into our defense. These discussions were on well before we drafted rashee. They’re not in my head bc I’ve been fighting it all offseason. You don’t see that considering we’re in a thread where anyone with even a slight criticism of our current WRs (even after early lackluster performance) is getting blasted for it?
Many of us believe the bar needs to still be raised. It’s not enough to just replace juju. Defenses have adjusted to our offense and we’re seeing offenses struggle across the league. And we can’t just have depth without kelce and we need to address that now, not at the last minute.

Nobody was content not investing in the WR room. Nobody is saying we only need to have jags. Nobody is saying that the first two weeks is good enough. Can we all agree there?
The division is that some people are in panic mode because things don't look like a well oiled machine immediately, while some of us expected that it would take a little while for the newbies to get on the same page as Mahomes.
