00:00But, you know, they didn't do it after Pacheco, they didn't do it after Rice,
00:04they didn't do it after Hollywood Brown. But the other issue is now the backups are getting hurt.
00:12Juju Smith-Schuster dealing with a hamstring injury. So that seemed like it forced their
00:16hand. I know Juju Smith-Schuster at this point in his career, he's not anything special. A couple
00:20weeks ago, he had a good game, but just numbers wise, you're getting to the point where, okay,
00:25we've got to do something here. Because what if this happens after the deadline,
00:30and we're totally screwed. So they do make this addition, conditional fourth round pick,
00:34they'd love it to be a fourth round pick. Because that means Hopkins is doing something,
00:38doing something very positive for them. So now you look at Hopkins and Kelsey,
00:42it's, I think pretty good. But again, no move in the point spread,
00:48minimum movement in the Super Bowl, and the conference. So I don't think people are rushing
00:53this morning and saying, I've got to bet Chiefs, they got the Andre Hopkins.
00:58They're getting old, man, on the offense. Everything around is getting old. Well,
01:03the line is actually getting younger because they've drafted pretty well on the offensive line.
01:08But the playmakers are getting up there. Kelsey, 35, Hopkins is 32, even Kareem Hunt,
01:15almost 30 years old. So this is what happens when you pay the best player in the NFL,
01:21Buku Bucks, you have to go to the scrap heap, and you have to find guys that other teams no
01:28longer want. You can't afford mega wide receivers and free agency. You can't afford these guys
01:33anymore. Because if you want to keep your quarterback intact and keep your defense
01:38intact, you have to find other ways to build around your offense. And let's give Andy Reid
01:44credit. And I thought we had a really good conversation yesterday about coach of the year.
01:49Andy Reid has won the NFL AP coach of the year one time. And Andy Reid's system
01:56helps everything click. So they go out and they get the Andre Hopkins. It's going to work, Joe,
02:02because it always does. Because it's Andy Reid's system combined with the best quarterback in the
02:07NFL. They're going to get the most out of the Andre Hopkins. Who do you think gets more out
02:11of the Andre Hopkins? Patrick Mahomes or Will Levis? Hmm. I'll wait and hold for your response.
