And now Veach is being criticized for not overpaying like the Packers did to keep Aaron Rodgers happy. Got it.

Who said anything about overpaying? You are being dramatic. And spending draft capital on a potential weapon for Mahomes to use against the league isn't a bad thing.
Mahomes is the best QB in NFL history, but why treat him like the Packers treated Rodgers? The Packers wasted Rodgers' career by giving him a steady rotation of mostly JAGs around him on offense. Yeah, he had a guy here or there, like Nelson, and Parker at the end, but mostly JAGs.
At this point, Skyy Moore isn't even a JAG, it's becoming obvious that Toney will always either be hurt, or always be the gadget guy (because if you can't shine among these receivers, you're just not sparkly) and Watson is probably at his peak, so that's not promising, and Rice and Ross can't seem to get snaps, because......Reid? Who knows why.
And I love Travis Kelce, but like it or not, he is at the edge of the cliff, and he is going to fall off soon. It's not his fault. He has the heart, but he has already said that last year was the hardest he had been physically beat up, and it's not going to get better.
Mahomes deserves weapons.
