At least you don't with the options this year.Agree, you do not draft a WR or off ball LB at #3. That is QB territory.

Slightly better cast? Kelce -> Pro Bowl, Tyreek Hill -> Pro Bowl, Kareem Hunt -> Pro Bowl... KC had 2 1000+ yds receivers(With Alex Smith as QB) and Hunt had 1327 yds on the ground... Slightly is not the word you're looking for here...Nobody knows, and we didn't see enough of Mahommes in his rookie season since he only started one game with a slightly better cast.
Mahommes started the last game of the 2017 season. The chiefs were putting good offensive numbers on the board with Alex Smith. Alex Smith had his best season in the nfl that very same year.

The only outlandish thing you left out is MG could be as good as Hunt is.Mahommes started the last game of the 2017 season. The chiefs were putting good offensive numbers on the board with Alex Smith. Alex Smith had his best season in the nfl that very same year. He
certainly would have been a stable upgrade for us from what we have now. With That said, KC in 2017 had the same record we did this year. Matter of fact, while Hunt rushed for over 1000 yards, the only receiver
that was consistent was just Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce at tight end. Had Gisecki been in those teams he would perform to equal standards as Kelce as they are both talented tight ends. One just happen to play
for better quarterbacks. Tyreek Hill is just about the only receiver we don't have in terms of talent but if Parker were to be in that team he would also be a 1000 receiver. Either how, when your quarterback clicks, everything
else clicks. Having a good qb, good wr, good rb, With such an awesome cast guess what record it yielded the chiefs that year? A 10-6 record, so the word slightly here is very accurate even though their defense was less talented, Kansas City still had to get more pieces in order to win the big one, we are not even there yet. We are still trying to find out if Tua has it or not. And even there is strong speculation that Miami may or may not end up being tempted to use their 3rd overall on a qb.
I am totally against picking a QB in the first or second round. They need to upgrade the skill positions on offense because they had probably the worst WR. Corp in the NFL this past season and below average RB’s. Give Tua better pass protection an average running game and an actual group of NFL WR’s and he will be an excellent NFL QB.
In that draft, there are only three people (one really) you could argue would have been a potential #1 overall. That's Bosa, Elliot, and Henry.C'mon, that's so laughable to imagine, how could that happen to any draft prospect?
In hindsight its actually kind of laughable that Tunsil was a #1 overall potential guy before the video. He wasn't a bad player and all but he certainly wouldn't have been worth where he would have been drafted sans video.
We had the worst WR corp...that was playing. Preston Williams being out made a difference. Albert Wilson and Hurns opting out made a difference. The cupboard is not bare...it just wasn't available.I am totally against picking a QB in the first or second round.

That’s the last thing I want is them to be afraid...The rookie wage scale makes anything possible.If privately, Ross, Grier and Flores are having 2nd thoughts on the Tua pick, then trading down makes sense. Admitting that they were wrong on Tua especially with Herbert going right after will be ALMOST impossible after 2 years. But my biggest point in all these threads is that admitting they were wrong after only ONE season is impossible. It's not going to happen. And I'm not even arguing if they should move on. I can't predict if Tua turns out great. All I'm saying is that they will not admit a mistake of this magnitude after one season. It would be professional suicide for Grier and possibly Flores.
Yeah, KC was already established as a solid playoff team.Slightly better cast? Kelce -> Pro Bowl, Tyreek Hill -> Pro Bowl, Kareem Hunt -> Pro Bowl... KC had 2 1000+ yds receivers(With Alex Smith as QB) and Hunt had 1327 yds on the ground... Slightly is not the work you're looking for here...
KC didn't even win a single playoff game the year Mahommes ended up starting the last game. They basically lost in the wild card round. Year before they lost in the divisional round in spite of their good record.Yeah, KC was already established as a solid playoff team.
Not a valid comparison at all.
And?KC didn't even win a single playoff game the year Mahommes ended up starting the last game. They basically lost in the wild card round. Year before they lost in the divisional round in spite of their good record.
And?
They were a playoff team, and were expected to be going forward, even with Alex.
The point was the Phins were definitely not, thus the reason I think it was not a valid comparison. The debate had nothing to do with championship expectations.
Of course we have holes. We burned it completely to the ground to get back to cap sanity. We are only one year in on a total rebuild.To be fair with you, I see your point. The Chiefs couldn't beat the Steelers two years in a row in the post season. They were winning games, but with a weak strength of schedule. Either how, the Chiefs did something with their team that we haven't. We have to many holes to fill in.

That's so not where KC was. That's my point.
