You see to be saying we need immediate impact at WR while simultaneously advocating for drafting a WR.

Those two things are almost mutually exclusive. There's a much, much greater chance a FA WR can play right away than a rookie in this offense. Not to mention the fact that the WR in this scenario is a guy that won't even be healthy to start the season.

Drafted defensive players have a much better chance of playing right away. A drafted DE would play long before a drafted WR, given how this team is constructed.

The best answer is to pursue one or more WR's in free agency and focus on defense in the draft. That doesn't preclude acquiring free agent defenders but drafting a WR would be tantamount to wasting a 1st round pick, at least for 2022.

I’d draft Jameson in the first and sign Sammy Watkins to a 1 year deal for $4M. Most of the other FA won’t know the system and won’t have pats trust. Do both. Get a stop gap that’s better than drob and Pringle and draft the future. Then spend your money on de. And draft defense in the rest with developmental guys.

So your draft plan is not draft any starters in year one?

Last year's draft was one of the best in Chiefs history.

Let's go do the opposite this year. Sounds like a good plan.
