Wouldn’t shock me if the Chiefs took another receiver in the second or third next year as well. Need to keep Mahomes stocked with weapons.

You could have picked up a WR for half what you paid Watkins and got the same benefit. Tyrel Williams for example is at least as good as Watkins, and getting about 58% of what you paid Watkins. That other 8 MILLION dollars more that you over paid Watkins could be a pretty good defender that may have made the difference in a Superbowl appearance last year, or this year.

I do think Tyrell is a good WR, nice #2.
He's not a potential 1 though, Watkins is. Watkins is all about health, but when we're paying our QB peanuts, it's fine. |

And the idea that Williams is as good as Watkins barely warrants mentioning. Just like the Raiders.

In 2019, we are paying Patrick Mahones 89.6k per 2018 TD pass. You could've picked up another QB to throw a glowing 19 TDs for you last year and probably paid him half as much. Then you could've used that other ~11mm you overpaid for Carr and filled out the depth on your talent-less roster. See how easy it is to cherrypick? Those with Derek Carr at QB shouldn't throw stones. |

OT's take a bit to develop and if you want options to potentially replace Fisher if he's asking too much, you need to get ahead of the curve. So you draft one next year (and probably another interior OL) and then maybe even another 1st or 2nd day the year after that to address Schwartz. I'm wondering if the Chiefs didn't see what just happened to Indy and see the dark specter of what could be if they focus too much on toys. Yes, it's important to keep Mahomes well-stocked; it's more important to keep him intact.

However, on Watkins, when was he last a legit #1? His inability to stay healthy is why he simply isn't a #1 WR. Look at his career stats. http://www.nfl.com/player/sammywatki...57/careerstats Look at the numbers Tyrell Williams put up the year he was the last WR standing in San Diego.

Williams had a great year in 16 IIRC, but he's never really had to be the guy that draws the #1. |

He still put up better numbers than Watkins in 17 & 18 while being the 3rd WR in San Diego.

A stronger defense gives Mahomes the ability to play a more controlled style that won't necessarily be less productive - it will simply keep him from taking as many hits. There are many ways to keep Mahomes healthy but it's probably most critical to maintain a balance all around. If you become overloaded one direction or another, you're going to start undermining some of your gains.

In an ideal setting, there will be some ebbs and flows with it. Look at the Pats for instance. There are years they're more offensively inclined, and years where the D carries a little more. Due to the cap and draft and all the moving parts, you've just gotta be able to flow with the changes. |
