If they don't add anything significant at WR, it's probably a good idea. They lost Watkins and no telling how Hardman will develop. Robinson will never be a good #2 WR. There's still the draft of course and free agency isn't over.
Not sure about "dominant defense". Middle of the pack is all we need if the offense plays like it's supposed to. The LB position is still weak and the pass rush was inconsistent last year. [Reply]
In the grand scheme of things TE2 sucks worse than WR2 at this point. Picking up a complement to TK than can block well helps both the receiving corps and helping a rookie LT block on ocasion. [Reply]
The Chiefs have had one of the best offenses in the league the last 3 years (2018 was one of the best in NFL history) and people want them to change the approach?

Nah.
I think adding a second TE and a replacement for Watkins doesn’t mean that you change the offense. It allows you to do more of what you do now. Add guys who can tear up the intermediate parts of the field and still help underneath in shallow routes. [Reply]

Talking more about the "build up the OL and run the ball more".
Nah, no thanks. Build up the OL to pass block and throw it more. [Reply]

Especially in the red zone. This team runs too many gimmick plays near the goal line because they simply can't punch it in traditionally. Kelce gets mugged and Hill's speed is irrelevant in the passing game when there's no space behind the defense. Also, we don't have any receiver to run fade routes with.
The easiest way to score in the red zone is to run the ball. Hopefully, the new OL will make that more possible. [Reply]
We need to be more of a threat to run the ball. If a defense has to play KC honest, they're in real trouble.
I don't think we're suddenly going to play Martyball or anything, but if we CAN run the ball and are a threat to do so, we'll see something more like the 2018 offense, which was the last time we actually COULD run the ball consistently. [Reply]
I think the Tremble guy is better in the passing game than people think. He's a monster for outside runs though. Could be a awesome mid round pick that could change some things for us. [Reply]
I’m guessing it’s going to be WR, DE and OT in the first three rounds. Not necessarily in that order.
Corner is full of riches in this draft. Dane Brugler just tweeted that he has 11 graded as top 62 picks.
I think they may take one based on principle, especially that Memphis kid that House coached. Then take one in the 4th that has traits and wait out Ingram.

Nah.
Their approach will be changed by other teams whether you like it or not that's the reality. Teams are going to continue to play guys 15-20 yards from the LOS in order to not get beat deep. [Reply]
