Do you mean like trying to salvage retread QBs that other teams are willing to send packing?
Maybe it's just me, but complaining about WR depth and offensive line play when you have a problem at QB ....... is like bothering yourself about bad brakes and tires on an automobile whose engine is knocking.
The one constant that has been associated to Alex Smith led teams over his entire career is a lower tier passing offense. It hasn't much mattered who his receivers were, nor who manned his offensive line - he's never been able to manufacture anything better than a below average pass offense. Why would we expect that to change now?
From DeBerg to Krieg to Montana to Bono to Grbac to Green to Huard to Cassel to Smith - the Chiefs have tried the same philosophy when it comes to acquisitions at the most important and absolutely most 'impactful' position on the team. They've always looked to deal for that proverbial "spare QB" that some other team has on their roster.
Of course there have been varying levels of success with this philosophy, but it's mostly been abject failure.
The biggest reason why the lineage of wide receivers in the Chiefs' organization has been so pedestrian, is because the QBs have been for the most part very mediocre.
So when you mention that saying about insanity, this is what comes to mind 1st and foremost for me.
