Veach throws numbers at DB when it's a problem, and now he has thrown number at the OL twice. Why not throw numbers at WR?

If we want to continue to pay Mahomes what he deserves, and other star players like CJ max type deals, then Reid is going to have to get over his aversion to playing rookie receivers.

I think Rice is going to be a star. It's absolutely crazy he didn't get picked until the 7th round. I think Cornelius Johnson has the measurables and athletic score for a high upside in a 7th round pick.

Well, I think the counter argument is we won with just Rice last year. If you think Rice will be a star, and Andy + Pat believes Worthy will dangerous weapon, then we probably have what we need when you add that to Hollywood and Kelce.

And I think signing Hollywood and using a 1st round pick on a WR qualifies as 'throwing numbers at it" every bit as much as signing Thuney and using a 2nd and 6th on Creed and Smith.

Moreover, the OL was THE reason we got curb-stomped by TB. Whereas the WR corps found just enough in the post-season, as well as with the emergence of rice, to win a championship.

I wouldn't have minded another WR, to be clear. But I think Veach was still pretty aggressive in attacking it.
