The Cheifs could have easily chased Kenny Golladay or some other flashy toy for Mahomes and relied on finding these "starting offensive linemen in the 2nd and 3rd round" we keep hearing about. Instead they took the approach of rebuilding a weakness that cost them a championship instead of fortifying a strength.
The Chiefs are successful because they drafted well for years and that gives them the flexibility to be aggressive and go after guys that they feel can can make their team better, whether that's filling a gaping hole in their lineup(Brown) or fortifying a strength(Mahomes when they already had Smith). I'll guarantee you if KC was heading into the season with Higgins, Boyd, Tate, and Thomas as their Top 4 WR's, they'd go to similar extremes.
