That’s a great choice. I should’ve specified. I was kind of looking at this issue in the Mahomes era.

EDIT - I re-read the last line of the OP and see you called that out. I just think that was such a waste of a pick because of all the production we missed out on. Additionally it would have limited the Bengals as well, since he was the Bengals leading receiver in the AFC Championship game we lost. I think we could have beat the Rams and had another ring.

Love DJ but Aaron Rodgers was there.
Recently it’s probably Sam LaPorta over FAU

I mean it's gotta be Fred Warner over Speaks.
Speaks was a fat, worthless piece of shit. Fred Warner might just make the Hall of Fame someday (almost certainly would but/for Patrick Mahomes). Then again, I don't think he changes any outcomes. I don't think we beat the Patriots with him as a rookie, we won the SB in 19, 22 and 23. he doesn't change the TB Super Bowl. The only question is whether or not he helps us beat the Bengals in 2021 and I just don't think he does. Now he's 27 and has cap hits of about $19 million/season for the next 3 years. So should we instead be looking at something more recent in time? Someone more likely to pay dividends for the next several years? 2021 didn't have a 1st or a 3rd and we got Bolton, Creed and Trey Smith. I'll go ahead and say Daron Bland over Darian Kinnard in the 2022 draft. Because anything prior to that really isn't likely to have meaningfully changed anything. Best hypothetical I can come up with is what if we traded the 1st and 3rd we gave up for Brown and a 2 (Bolton) to move up and take Darrisaw. I don't know if that was truly available but if it were, as much as I like Bolton, I think that's a deal you make.

If we’re talking the Mahomes era and I get one do-very, I think I’m picking Terry McLaurin instead of Mecole Hardman.
I’ll pretend we know that Hill isn’t going to get in actual trouble and just add that piece. Does it change 2020’s Super Bowl? Maybe in a cascading effect. Maybe with that third weapon under lock, the Chiefs decide not to go after Edwards-Helaire in that draft and instead reinforce the OL. Or cut Watkins and sign a FA along the OL. All time, Marino over Blackledge is the pretty obvious choice.

I still think Dan Marino's lack of a championship has more to do with him than people want to admit. And I think Montana's 4 rings have a HELL of a lot to do with him.

Really pleased that the contributors on this board that I most respect since I have joined about a year ago have responded to my original post.
All-time I definitely agree about drafting Montana.. There has probably been no bigger mistake in drafting, other than obviously Brady. Marino would have been fantastic also but you have to look at the fact he never won a Super Bowl. But in the Mahomes era , in terms of impacts on winning more Super Bowls, I am surprised there’s no support for Kittle being the worst miss. I am pretty sure he would’ve made enough difference in 2018 when we lost to Brady and overtime on the coin flip. We won in 2019 and certainly would have been even better over San Francisco if we had Kittle. Like I said in my original post Kittle might even have made a difference in the 2020 loss to Bradynin the Super Bowl as it might have compensated sufficiently for the inadequate, blocking by injured OTs and added some surer hands for end zone drops. In 2021 I definitely think Kittle would’ve made enough difference for us to beat the Bengals and then to beat the Rams. of course drafting Higgins instead of Clyde Edwards-Helaire would’ve more clearly changed the Bengals Chiefs game. But I think kittle would’ve changed it enough as well. In 2022 kettle might not have mattered as much when we won the Super Bowl, but he certainly would have improved our receiver room last year when we want it again in 2023 And going forward for our three peat, and four Pete and on, we wouldn’t need to worry about replacing Kelsey anymore. Anyway, I certainly respect the choices of others, but I’d be interested in why you didn’t kittle would’ve had the maximum impact. |

Yeah, but how would Montana have fared in the Marv Levy/John Mackovic offenses? I still think I'd go with Marino as my all-time do-over, assuming of course that there was no butterfly effect on 2017.
