And honestly that another option IF Veach really likes Membou as a 10+ year starting RT. You trade up and draft him and throw Taylor over at LT while Kingsley plays swing until he either replaces Taylor at LT or doesn't develop and Veach looks elsewhere for our stud LT and keeps Kingsley as our swing guy.

And before you say Taylor is a RT man! We ****ing had a guard and other broke dicks playing LT this year and Taylor can't be any worse for 2025. Hell maybe moving as a left tackle will help him not false start all the ****ing time.

If the team does end up going with an older veteran on a short term contract they may well need 2 OT prospects very soon depending on how they see Kingsley going forward. Jawaan Taylor has 2 years left with a 7 million dead cap hit if cut after 2025, so that's 2 more years of him max.

They have no floor at LT. Wanya is most likely a RT that could be a short term LT for a few games if needed but that’s it. Kingsley is still developing, assuming he stays at LT and not RG and yeah most of these tackles being talked about as possible G’s in the draft is concerning.

Say what you want but at least there is a floor with Cam Robinson and it turns out he’s playable and won’t be a guy who outright loses games bc he’s getting raped over and over again like what we’ve seen from the 3 guys who started games at LT last year.

Not much choice here fellas

So we're gonna pay Robinson a good chunk of change, have a high paid LG/C/RT and a 2nd round pick at RG.


Then we've got a 1st round WR/2nd round WR and will probably pay another one this year.

Seems the "no resources on offense" talking points are kinda bunk....

Spot on, and this whole obsession with having to overpay is so odd to me. The Chiefs can always create cap room. It’s a complete non-issue. If you’d rather watch Mahomes get his ass planted more than he’s hitting deep bombs to Worthy and Hollywood so that we can maintain cap flexibility for 3-4 years from now, I don’t really know how to comprehend your frame of mind.

I'm not sure there's a huge difference between a Cam Robinson, Eric Fisher, OBJr.

Those are all guys who are proven capable starting left tackles and have played the position on really good performing offenses. They're all guys with weaknesses capable of getting them whooped by certain types of rushers.

But more often than not, they're gonna let your offense function like you need it to. I don't get all the hand wringing at Robinson in that sense. You aren't getting a Trent Williams.

Yeah and?

I think we all kinda unanimously agree that LT and only LT was the significant problem this year. Fixing that alone is going to change the entire picture. It's proven to be Mahomes' kryptonite, the blindside pressure that he couldn't see coming definitely gets in his head.

Robinson is Jawaan Taylor all over again. He's going to do what he does, get paid a ton for it, and people are going to bitch and moan endlessly about it.

If he is Jawaan Taylor I’d take that every day of the ****ing week. A Jawaan Taylor type talent would be an enormous upgrade over Wanya and Kingsley getting Mahomes killed and ruining games.

Jawaan is a solid level starter. Anyone who bitches at that after what we’ve seen are completely unrealistic.

Couple years ago it was the interior pressure, fixed that. Guess now it's the outside, hopefully we can fix that.

I get it. But you know damn well that's exactly what would happen.

Our best offenses of the Mahomes era included some mid at best interiors.

Is it great to have a strong interior? 100%. If it means sucking at T? Don't want it.

You're getting closer to it I think.

Ehhh

If Thuney is back it'll be on a new deal so his 27 million dollar cap hit should be reduced significantly. Also they have in house options for RG so that shouldn't require dollars.

Personally I think we should throw numbers at LT, go sign Tyron Smith and Jedrick Wills, if Wills can't stick at LT maybe he's a RT or a guard, he's got enough talent to be worth a signing.

He...uh...just needs more time?
