So we need a #1 WR ready to go soon that can play here for the next 5 years.
If Evans is a short-term bandaid then maybe they can do both but I don't see this front office paying Evans AND trading up for a WR in the same offseason.
It’s one path.
If the FA WR you add and are banking on as the top guy is an older player - Evans or Ridley or Keenan Allen if he is cut - you have to keep investing draft resources at WR.
I don’t think it requires a trade up if it isn’t a good fit or price. It can be taking a WR in round 1 or 2 each of the next 2-3 years and counting on numbers to fix the issue. [Reply]

I don’t hate it I would just prefer we try to secure a young #1WR option this year. We need to be aggressive. If we sign an older player that’s fine but what I don’t want to see is just a band aid. [Reply]
Excerpts:
"Since Week 8, the Chiefs rank 24th in expected points added (EPA) per dropback."
"Here are the quarterbacks who are running the passing offenses ranked behind Kansas City.
Joe Flacco, Cleveland Browns
Bailey Zappe, New England Patriots
Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers
Zach Wilson, New York Jets
Tommy Devito, New York Giants
Aidan O’Connell, Las Vegas Raiders"
"It can be started pretty simply: this season, Moore and Toney have been among the league’s worst wide receivers."
"In 2022, neither [KT/S. Moore] had production that would justify a belief they could be high-level contributors this season — and yet, the Chiefs trusted them to be starters who could play at a championship level." [Reply]

But yeah, 100% please stop turning the ball over. Could've won at least a couple more games if not for those.
If they clean up the mistakes they can be good enough. Our floor with mahomes and Reid without the mistakes is higher than many ceilings. the path is set for us in the playoffs if we do. Plenty of flaws in the afc slate. [Reply]

After looking at how horrendous their cap is, maybe.
If we did that, it's no Jones and no Sneed. [Reply]
