I think much of criticism of this high risk selection has taken for a granted a few things: 1) the chiefs are destined to win all close games. 2) the D will remain top 5-10 indefinitely 3) Chiefs O is destined to be great with Mahomes.
The first two I'm not even going to address, but #3 -- the Chiefs O *sucked* last year and the team had no business really making the SB. It was luck.
Look, the Chiefs dynasty was built on a high flying offense with Mahomes. That's what can make this insane dynasty continue -- and I think that's the view of Reid and Veach, too, and explains why they did this.
