Yes, they need to develop their own, but I don't think you can just throw a draft pick at it and pray for the best again. We already know that a draft pick is probably going to take half the season to get acclimated (or more), do we really want to go into week 1 2024 with a nearly identical group to what KC has now?
I think the best course of action is to spend a 1st/2nd on WR and then grab a halfway decent one in FA (Mooney, Brown, or maybe Ridley). Add those to Rice and Kelce and I think you already have made a significant improvement on the 2023 group. If either Toney or Moore finally amounts to anything at all then it's just icing on the cake, but I wouldn't count on it with either.
MVS will be gone next year and Watson will likely still be around because of his salary, but if we start 2024 with Justin Watson getting starting reps again then something went terribly wrong.

They've decided to pay the OL. Everyone hoping next years WR group is drastically different than this years is gonna be in for some rude awakenings.
They need the cheap labor from draft picks to work out. So yeah, keep drafting them.
I'd love to trade our first and a pick next year to the 9ers for Aiyuk or make a big swing. But I'm guessing they continue to build this way as the QB continues to get expensive.
