Meanwhile...Veach just handed 16mil to a receiver with questionable production.
What position are we deeper at under Veach than we were under Dorsey?
Dorsey was PRAISED for his ability to find scrap heap players. Depth wasn't an issue for most of Dorsey's tenure.

The Watkins contract has to be looked at from a certain lense, IMO. You’re not giving him that deal if it’s not for the unique contractual setup of the Chiefs offensive personnel right now. You had Mahomes, Hunt, Hill, and Kelce all making about a combined $14-15M. I can see why you add a premiere talent in Watkins, even if overpaying, because with him you have a chance to create an all-time lethal offensive attack. Now, the OL will need to regain their 2015-2017 form at minimum to see that, but it remains a possibility IMO.
Dorsey also really only found good scrap heap players the year that he had the #1 waiver priority. Whereas Veach went out and acquired the best MIKE linebacker we’ve seen in (?) years in his first month on the job. No waiver priority necessary. Why couldn’t Dorsey get more creative like that?
