NFL is in a weird spot and I'm not sure you can really mimick the way the Chiefs win.
Overall I think you can almost argue you shouldn't be overpaying any skill players unless you have one of two things:
- A top 5 QB
- A top 5 defense
Unless you're a top defensive team or have a top 5 QB you're in really tough to win a championship. Dallas is a good team...but they don't have a top 5 QB, and have a borderline top 5 defense, so them winning the Super Bowl is unlikely whether they sign Lamb or not. But if their defense can be a consistent top 5 defense then Lamb makes Dak better so you have to sign him.
Really the big problem for other teams is that last year by points allowed the Chiefs were the second best defense, and they have Mahomes. So unless their defense takes a big step back then they probably are in the AFC championship game again at the worst (Ravens probably best shot to dethrone them), and their offense is probably actually better this year.
