Let's consider a concrete example. Denver could have traded for Hopkins, or another veteran receiver. That would certainly increase the probability of beating the Chiefs in the regular and post season.
Would that have been a smart move? Of course not. Denver isn't going to make noise in the post season this year by adding a receiver. That would be mortgaging the future without much ROI.
It was obviously a good move for the Chiefs because the trade made a championship more likely.
Denver needs to build a seriously competitive team. It can be done reasonably quickly in today's league, but not overnight.
