They trade Tyreek (who’s on a HOF path) in his prime and used those picks to build this team which as a sum is better than the loss of Hill. KC won a SB while starting 6-7 rookies and those rookies were critical in that SB win and this one. That same class of players as well as the one before and after are a huge reason why KC is in a strong position to be the first ever team to three peat.
Picks are starting to hold more value because if they hit, you can do a lot of stuff while those players are cheap.

But that's ALWAYS been the case; this isn't some new idea.
