There's definitely a pretty strong argument for it. And if Reid and Veach said we want to pair this elite RB prospect with the best QB in the league it would be hard to argue.

What do you guys think, now that we’ve traded Thuney do we need 2 offensive linemen in this draft?

Don't forget that McKade Mettauer was on IR all year. He looked like a better prospect to me than Hanson. I have a feeling KC IR-Redshirted him (of course maybe he did fully tear his MCL but... we know this shit happens).

Thoughts on these guys as OL draft gems in the approx. 2nd-5th RD (PFF order)…

Grey Zabel
Ozzy Trapilo
Charles Grant
Anthony Belton
Logan Brown
Jack Nelson
Carson Venson
Trey Zuhn

Would LOVE Belton in the 4th. Dude is MASSIVE and has decent footwork. Could be a dominant LT in the league for many years with some good coaching.

Question is do we trust Heck enough to take on that project? He likely wouldn’t start this year. Next year we may have openings at BOTH tackle spots, so he’d need to be ready to go by 2026.

I see Heck get a lot of criticism for not developing the LT position, but why no credit for developing Trey Smith at RG or Creed Humphryr at OC?

Good find! Thanks for sharing!

What do y’all think about trading up to around 20 for Simmons? I feel like he’s the best long term fit at LT.

Trade up scenario for Simmons…

This is the scenario we’re all hoping for

Really, I’m glad to hear that. It seemed like an unpopular idea? Trading up for Simmons seems like a no brainer to me. He has the highest ceiling of any LT in this draft and if we can trade up to around 20, that seems like a good risk reward scenario considering that we really haven’t had a great LT in a long time. I’d love for our o-line to be a strength.

Problem is we’re not the only fanship that has our eye on him, comes down to what the pros think of him and his injury. I’m all for as much competition as we can get on the OL. I’m not sold on Moore or Taylor playing OT for us next season, not yet. Not to mention we need someone to play LG.

If we take an OT: Simmons, Banks, or Conerly Jr would it be crazy to have them play LG this season?

There's absolutely no reason to. Kingsley looked good there week 18. I'd prefer to have them focusing on both T spots.
