Politely, but firmly, disagree. Unless Ersey falls to 63 or 66. And even then I’d rather them go another direction.

Simmons and Conerly are the only guys I can consider at T as round 1 guys and feel like it is smart or works.

Yeah, I'm REALLY not a fan of Donovan Jackson in the first.

I don't get that one at all. That just feels like a lesson we really should've learned by now.

Don't. Draft. Versatility. Early.

To be clear, the only way I support that move is if you're going to put him at LT and he's going to stay there. They can't pull another Kingsley.

It also wouldn't be my first choice by any means.

And it's not like those OL were drafted very high. Besides Kingsley who are you talking about?

Getting the best OL we can should be the single most important thing to Veach and the Chiefs.

Nothing I have seen gives me confidence that Kingsley, Morris or anyone on our roster can step in as our new starting RG and not have problems.

Did we all forget with how Smith seemed to take a step backwards when Taylor became our RT? With Taylors DEEEEEEP drops it puts more pressure on the RG than usual. Go sign Jackson or Stanley to fix LT and then get a cheap stud guard at #31! Morris and Kingsley can still be developed. Best case would be Kingsley DOES develop and can take over for either Taylor OR Thuney the following year.

Well then.

Sign Jackson, re-sign Smith I guess, with the money staggered out to miss Taylor, call the line good. Draft d-line early, a RB and WR in the mid rounds and get on with it

“Outside of Campbell, this is not viewed as a good tackle class. Many people I’ve talked to have said they think Kelvin Banks and Armond Membou are looked at more as Guards by a lot of these teams. Simmons may be a Tackle but he’s considered to be better on the right side than the left. Conerly could be an option but there’s a reason he might be there when KC picks. He’s viewed as a project. He’s gonna take some time.”
