They obviously don't "want" it to be that way. They chose to value other aspects to build. You value a "top 5 WR room". They traded Tyreek because apparently they don't see the value there or figure they have the resources to do that as well as the other things they wanted to do.
The defense needed to be rebuilt after it cratered, when they pretty much did what everyone wants them to do with the WR room. They went and spent and bought pieces that were expensive, it worked, then it cratered. I'd guess they don't wanna do that again as it tends to happen (look at Buffalo this year) and decided to build it the long way.
They missed on Moore. Shit happens, they're not gonna hit every draft pick. They'll keep investing there, hell maybe they'll sign a FA.
Honestly, I'm not even on the side of the way they went. I'd have went and got someone. But I'm guessing they know that too and probably tried. In the end, paying their QB and such what they do, yeah, it's a big ask but he's just gotta carry alot.

Okay, I can agree with a lot here.
However, for the 47th time, I never,
ever, was banging the table for a 'top 5 WR room.' Let's clear that up, hopefully from now until the end of time. Or at least until next week, lol. Maybe someone else was, but that wasn't me.
I also never said we 'had to have DHop,' either. Or anyone on his level. I only made a case for why DHop would be a good option, but I never said we had to have him. I know you didn't mention DH, I'm just inserting that for the peanut gallery.
What I said, repeatedly, with no deviation, was that we needed a
'solid go-to possession WR that was better than JuJu,' such as an Adam Thielen or Jarvis Landry type.
That was my ask. Hell, i wasn't even saying we had to sign this hypothetical WR to any kind of long-term contract; I wanted a 1-year (maybe two) band-aid guy, while our young/inexperienced WRs like Rice/Skyy/Toney developed, just to get us over the rough spots in the meantime.
Does that sound anything like a 'top-5 WR room' to you? 'Better than average' was what I was hoping for.
