And frankly an overestimation that mahomes/Reid/kelce can carry a pretty low standard of wr. Not terrible, but a “just good enough” standard. Some even saying it’s the best wr room mahomes has ever had.. Sure some wanted to still get better where we could at WR. But most didn’t expect rashee to get many reps this year and yet still believed we were basically the same #1 offense as last year if not better. I think that mentality has changed and I’m glad to see it.

Dude... I just can't even. LoL
Veach took three good sized swings at WR and bought a lottery ticket.
Skyy and Rice were the biggest investments. So they get the most rope. Skyy hasn't done anything much. Rice is looking good.
Toney missed all of camp, and has a lingering toe issue. Still, he suits up every week, but his usage has been weird. Who knows what is going on there.
Ritchie has been on IR. That would appear skill-set wise to have been Skyy insurance, but he's been unavailable.
They were never going to throw Skyy, Toney, and Rice out there together. That's too much newbie.
The only thing they've 'learned' is that it looks like Rice might be a real good one.
All other grades are incomplete, unless you're ready to say Moore is a lost cause. That's an argument that is at least defensible.
Hardman was a smart pickup with two vets out of commission and Toney being iffy.
This narrative where we must accept that the plan has failed is ****ing nonsense.
