I think this article was doomed when the author chose to use the word reckless- which would mean - (of a person or their actions) without thinking or caring about the consequences of an action.

The basis of the article makes it seem as if Veech signed Watkins on a whim as if he was making some late night bid on Ebay after drinking all night.

When in fact, by Veech's own words, he wanted to acquire Sammy last season. It was far from a reckless decision, but a long, thought out, calculated one not just based on stats but what Sammy can do for this offense.

Watkins can score from anywhere on the field and creates mismatches against defenses by his speed alone, not to mention he has great hands. Now Mahomes has 4 players that can change the game in one play and are threats to score every time they step on the field. That is why the Chiefs paid a premium and it was definitely not a reckless choice.
