they are playing chicken with another team that wants the same player. Vikings moved up 1 to be sure they got who they wanted vs another team getting them. It's not a 1 to 1 trade. It's a 1 vs 30 trade.
Option 3 will be the worst options when it comes to the optics because all anyone is going to care about is if KC picks up a WR that we could have drafted before them.
There have been 11 100+ reception TE's in NFL history. Kelce has 3 of them.
I know you said target pass catcher but even still, that would be putting him in the range of some all-time greats (Kelce, Gonzalaz, Witten, Clark).
Beane said the same thing in his presser today as well. Basically kids are getting paid and they already know they have a spot and don't have to fight for a roster spot so they are staying in school and getting a payday.
