I really have to assume Mahomes is signing off on certain moves or at the very least has a pretty damn loud voice in what to do in terms of signing free agents or someone at the trade deadline, etc.
A few people have a specific ax to grind with Veach or Reid or whoever, but what is Mahomes' role in all this.... and is the problem that they DO listen to him? Is Mahomes saying he's good, can make it work, spend money elsewhere... and Reid or someone should say nah, you're getting Hopkins.
They were probably all wrong in some degree and I'd have a really hard time believing if they don't win a SB this year (or maybe even if they do), they're not all - including Mahomes - saying, well shit that didn't work, and doing what they've done in recent years for the offensive line and defense.

Mahomes really wants to win and challenge Brady but he also wants to score points and put up stats. He doesn’t want down seasons or anyone questioning who is better or playing better. So I have hard time believing he wouldn’t be pushing for a true #1 receiver. And if he wasn’t due to how good he was last season and how winning with that group made him look even better than ever, after this season, he definitely will be. But as you said, it’s impossible to know what, if any, influence he has on that.
