Explain.

Sure.

They don't have any idea what they're talking about.

You mean we're not going to trade up into the teens and draft a guard?

Didn't you hear we traded Joe Thuney??

The expert Chiefs fans on this board have a better feel for what the team will do than expert draft people, who are looking at every team and not as specialized on one, and who approach things with more shallow analysis.

Yup.

Look, it's POSSIBLE they're in love with Conerly, and make a small move up to get him, like a pick swap thing or something. But it's unlikely they give up anything significant to go get a LT in this draft.

There are zero short term solutions at LT that have a high probability of working out. Everything is a question mark. Moore is a question mark. The guys we currently have on the roster are question marks. ALL of the rookies we could possibly draft are question marks.

The goal every year is to put Mahomes in a favorable enough position to take us over the top. We could still be in that position at LT this year, but it's also possible we might not.

And my whole thing is a little bit like when Vermeil and Carl kept trying to draft 1000 DTs. We're approaching that level of frustration at LT if we trade up for a subpar LT prospect and miss.

I know a few people have said they are fine with BPA outside a QB and Guard.

I’d actually argue that guard could still be our biggest need. Do we sign Smith to a long term deal? Can our young tackles play LG? HUGE question mark for me!

Taking a guard in the 1st should be on the radar.

This is an interesting take to me. I wonder what we plan to do with Trey smith. Personally, I’d consider trading smith if wanya morris could play there. He’s a talented player. Draft capital could be huge with the depth in this draft at positions we need. I’m sure I’ll get hated on for considering trading Trey Smith. I’m just not a big fan of paying guards a lot of money. And Trey would probably be a better fit in a different offense. But I could be wrong and maybe we should keep Trey but if the chiefs traded him or used him to move up in a package deal, I would be excited about the development of our line.

Taking a guard should absolutely be on the radar, but I don't think you need to do that in the first round. Good guards come from all over the draft.

No first round guards please, lol

Wasn't Brian Watters an UDRFA for the Cowboys?

Yeah, I'll take a line full of that kind of talent, please and thank you.

I mean, I think it's not great value. But, you know, if the kid is Will Shields that's hard to argue with.

Yup, Brian Watters was a UDRFA for the Cowboys and we scooped him up and he became a regular pro bowler. I don't think people appreciated how good Watters was because he might have been a little overshadowed by Will Shields and Willie Roaf

One of these OTs with the knock on arm length with the ability to play both G and T wouldn't be a bad play. The next Thuney.

That oline was ridiculous, has to be one of the best all time.
