You have 2 starters there - they determined Davis (plus Sanders in 2021) - made it not necessary to draft one in the first 3 let alone 2 rounds.

No it wasn’t. Too many guys aged out and holes need filling. That cost would have been too steep with what we’re doing. Now, next year you might be able to make that argument especially if the following happens: 1. Rousseau breaks out 2. Elam breaks out 3. Bishop is a hit - Rapp and Edwards are good 4. Milano back to old self 5. No issues or setbacks at Oline

Exactly. They stuck with Davis. They had Shakir to step in. They drafted other key players along the way to fill holes - like all GMs there were hits and misses. Yes I would have made a hard decision on Davis after 2022 to move on. But why create another hole in a SB window. We took our last swing to get over the hump with Von. Injuries derailed 2022-23. Beane is getting way too much flack over not having spent more picks on WR when 2 starters (one elite the other a hope for break out waiting to happen) were firmly in place. Which one was going to the bench after we draft one in 2022 or 2023? They had a plan. It worked. Horrific coaching in 13 seconds and injuries in 2022-23 ended our seasons. And Diggs quit in the middle of it. When, why, how, we don’t know - but it’s a pretty safe bet to say that guy just wanted to get out before the rebuild - and the only way to do it was to be a prick. That likely cost us on the field. This goes back now to 2 seasons. If he’s not a prick, they can’t trade him. He forced the issue. And we’re left a month before the draft needing another WR and carry 25 mill in dead cap. Be upset we might need another WR. But that ain’t 100% Bean’s fault. It’s 90% on Diggs and 10% Beane.

For the record, I’m not upset about the WR room. The vision Beane had for this offense in 2024 simplified: Diggs Coleman Shakir Samuel Then add all our draft picks except the Duke DT and you’d have our team. Pretty dang good. But this organization was thrown into mini turmoil bc of Stefon Diggs. Period. If your take is “Beane has neglected WR and this is what happens” you’re just wrong. Diggs was supposed to give us 2024 and 2025. He quit (as we know now) at the end of 2022 and throughout 2023. I refuse to trash Beane over the WR room that was supposed to include Stefon in the plan until he tapped out and quit. Quite frankly, I’m sick of the fan base rushing to defend Diggs over the GM that oversaw the construction of this perennial SB contenders roster. It’s embarrassing. I’ll be rooting for Coleman and Shakir harder than I’ve rooted for 2 Bills WRs. And if we need more ammo I trust Beane, whose cap is all screwed up this year bc of Stefon, will find more ammo. Go Bills!

Because Davis stunk and Diggs quit mid season someone tell me with a straight face that last year’s group was better? We played almost a whole season with our supposed WR1 having quit on this team. I'll take these young hungry guys and Kincaid over that and Coleman just might be that WR1 right away who knows.

This team is the 2022 Chiefs. Reboot season. We were never coming out of this draft with a WR1 so I’m not concerned. I love that they played everyone with the “move heaven and earth” leaks. And collectively our WR/TE group is better than the trash they had in 2022 AND 2023. This is why I wanted to lean into OL. Hopefully SVP can keep McGovern where he is at LG and we have our C for the next 10 years. Coleman (90 targets) Samuel (90 targets) Shakir (110 targets) Hollins (60 targets) Hamler Shorter Kincaid (likely 120 targets) Knox (50 targets) Cook (60 targets) Davis There’s your 600ish targets.

Lol yea they ain’t sold on the McGovern move. As they shouldn’t.

And maybe this.

Thanks KC

That’s Chris Jones.

I want Limmer. IOL swing man and Center.

I can see Tampa taking him.

I think McD is itching to pick Defense.

Kinchens.

I don’t want to hear squat when we can’t secure pass pro up the middle or run for 2 yards when you have to absolutely have it. McGovern. My God.

I ran the Steelers here in the last mock and said we would trade back and were taking Frazier. Might happen here.

Brandon Marshall

AD Mitchell clearly an attitude issue. Plummeting.

Yes

Clear New England wanted him. We definitely were targeting Coleman knew we could take him in trade down.
