Good spot to trade up for our guy around 26.

Considering he spent the better part of his coaching career coaching the Offensive Line, outside of being a head coach, and that he played in the league as a blocking TE, he might know a thing or two about what to look for.

I think the media has it wrong on Conerly. Of course, that's been my two cents for a while now.

is he = Eric Fisher?

Because that's kind of the line for me. If he's not Fisher or can't be very quickly, I'm just not excited about going up to get him. Or any other OT prospect, for that matter. Now, if he drops to us, that's a different matter and it depends on who else is around.

But we haven't had a proper LT since Fisher ripped his achilles.

I think a healthy Simmons is, but a healthy Simmons isn't dropping to #31.

Walter Nolen and Derrick Harmon seem like the most sure bets in this DT class to be blue chippers. Legitimate ass kickers that could win games.

IF (big if) the Chiefs feels Conerly is going to be an even decent starting tackle you trade up for him.

Doubt we’d have to, but if you told me Conley was gonna give us the stability Eric Fisher did but we needed to give up a 3rd? Yeah I’m doing it without blinking

Those guys are both really good 3 techs. The problem is, we have THE 3 tech with Jones. So how do you see KC using them? Move Jones outside? I don't think he's as good at DE as inside, and anyway, that means you take Karlaftis out.

So, while I think those are great prospects, I don't see them as improving the team as much as one of the guys that can play nose, like Grant or Williams. You can pair those guys WITH Jones on any/all downs and seriously improve your front 4.

Just my opinion.

and on Conerly, yes, I agree IF they think he's a Fisher level player, then you absolutely make that deal. I just don't think anyone can say that with any certainty. As I said, I don't dislike the player, and if he falls to our pick, I'd certainly consider it, depending on who else is on the board.

I don’t think Conerly is worth trading up for. Just take Charles Grant or Anthony Benton or Ozzie Trapilo with our second or third pick. Or even Jack Nelson in the 4th round

Just seems to me. But who knows what Spags would do? Might just move all of them around all over the place every down.

Anyway, should be some good players at #31.

It would be something if they traded up for a tackle in this draft. They have so many needs, trading up would just be dumb.
