Mahomes can mask many other problems. They can have an average defence cuz the offence can score at will.

Plus he can get you the Patrick price.

I do think that the Chiefs likely will be able to get some one year value contracts for older guys who are past their prime but aren't finished. So combine that with drafting and I think they will continue to be a good team. Even the Patriot's had a couple of 2-3 year cycle's where they had to retool the team to get back to being a championship calibre team. So I expect after this year, the Chiefs might need to build up some picks in the next couple years at which point they'll need to turn over from guys like Kelce and Hill to new pieces to work with Mahomes. If Patrick is healthy they should be a playoff team, and will always be a threat. But for a team like Buffalo, this year and next year are probably your best chance to win.
