And thus far, I mean... other than the Chiefs in 2019, there isn't really a proof of concept that says this is a good strategy.
And yet here you are acting like the team is a failure if they don't spend X in such and such way on the position and instead choose to go elsewhere with their resources.

The NFL has been trending this way recently. I remember having a conversation with a friend around 2016 or so and they just blurted out the NFL offenses are going to be more like the NBA. Just freak athletes running down the field and it's going to be hard to play defense against them.
I don't have a crystal ball. Veach could mismanage the offense and WR's again and we could 3peat by default if we get the right breaks, other teams choke , etc
But we have won ZERO SB's without an elite pass-catcher.
The first 1 we had 2 HOF weapons and Kelce has been the guy in the last two years.
Kelce was already aging out last year. It was nice he got on a run in the playoffs but the clock is ticking.
You don't just find another unicorn HOF TE like Kelce. Just getting a #1 WR is easier so why not start looking now?
That's my position and I don't get why that seems so radical.
Now back to Jeff, I expect the Vikings if this actually was true would want a top ten pick back as part of a large package and we don't have one of those.
If all they needed was the Tyreek package I pull the trigger on that without question.
