The Raiders are gonna move Devante, I don't think they'd trade him to KC would they?

The browns are now semi officially in tank mode. The titans will probably move on from dhop and would rather get some value back. These are actually realistic options. Diontae is in a contract year although I suspect Carolina will want him back.

And as I’ve said before DRob is not the worst option. At least he creates something new for the offense which is helping mahomes out in scramble drill.

Let’s get the whole band back together!

The reason we did what we did was because of his salary. They figured they could build a defense and he could carry and develop some younger and less experience offensive players.

Apparently you are saying he can't, so we're gonna have to go a different direction.

That is not why we did it. We were one of a handful of teams without a first round WR and most teams were super aggressive about throwing $ at WRs. We got a little too cute with the idea that we didn’t need to do that.

I’m not saying he needs elite talent always to carry him. What he needs is quality depth and that is not unreasonable no matter his salary. 1) don’t do what we did last year and surround him WRs who can’t and shouldn’t be trusted. 2) in order to un**** mahomes he probably needs a little help. Once he is un****ed he won’t need as much. But we aren’t going to relieve his trauma by bombarding him with the bad habits he developed to cope with it.

We were on the right track except for awful luck. We’ve hit a home run on our last 2 draft picks. Hollywood was a great signing. So we don’t need to change direction. But rather than say mahomes needs to tough out the circumstances, I’d say the circumstances have dictated that we need to give him bandaids so he doesn’t have to go through this without help
