With your thoughts on this DJ being what they are, what do you think about moving some picks for a current player that may need resigned? For instance, Patrick Peterson for our 1st or both 2nds?

I would give up a 2nd but not both and not a 1st. Am not moving that 1st with the cap issues we're going to face in the coming years. That's too valuable and this team has demonstrated an excellent track record on 1st round picks.
This season has proven more than anyone could have expected that we simply don't need to build this squad like it's the Alex Smith era Chiefs were there can't be any holes anywhere. This is a team that can 'make due' at a position or two and use talent elsewhere to patch those holes.
It doesn't NEED to make short-term decisions. They can look at immediate short-term issues and address them with long-term solutions.
Every decision should be made over a 5-year return because with Mahomes we can ALWAYS win. If we had Smith and needed a perfect defense and had an aging QB who we needed to win with before he aged out of viability, I'd be more inclined to do so. But with Mahomes, I'm simply not going to go crazy trying address the 'now'.
