The Superbowl has been littered with quality Tight Ends this last decade. Not all of them played with Brady and Mahomes.
Kittle like you said. Zach Ertz with Foles. Greg Olson with Cam Newton. Austin Hooper with Matt Ryan. Vernon Davis with Colin Kaepernick. Jeremy Shockey with Eli Manning. Dallas Clark with Peyton. Heath Miller with Pig Ben. (Note: If this list seems light for 10 years it's because Gronk takes up like half the spots, and Kelce accounts for another two)
Every single one of these guys was an above average tight end at this time.
I don't think anyone is saying that QB's aren't the most important piece, but I think it's pretty clear that the TE position has continued to become more and more important in the pass game. And that's a position we're not very good at.
Not to mention Bill B blowing a wad on the top two FA TEs. He knows better than most.
