3. Chiefs homers - Wilson is garbage. The Broncos mortgaged their future for a broken QB who hasn't done shit without a defense. The Broncos are still 4th best in the AFC.

I believe I was in 2.
It cost a lot, but quarterbacks cost a lot and in light of that, the return wasn't unreasonable.
Where I felt like the Broncos really screwed the pooch was the extension. They took the value in the trade and immediately set it on fire. And they did so without seeing how Wilson would even transition to a new team.
So yeah, i think 2 works.
