As far as the Chiefs individual moves I'm sure they have made mistakes but I actually don't hate their strategy of selling out for a couple seasons while they could use cap gymnastics to keep Mahomes number low. It was basically the only window to do that they will have for a decade. You do this knowing you'll eventually pay the piper and have a year or two of cap hell. But Mahomes is young enough to go through that cycle and be part of the next build. Now if you don't execute that plan and aren't actually good pre cap hell then it could kill you for multiple seasons. You'll hear plenty of 'wasting Mahomes prime' noise but you'd hear that too if you take the TT more long term route.
Either strategy can work but if you don't execute it's always 'wasting prime' talk.
Team building and winning SBs is hard contrary to what you might hear from internet GMs

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.
