This pick absolutely Carrie’s a ton of risk. He could go down this season and not return for a year, two or never.

Good thing these fools hedged their bet before making it.

Granted I generally despise most sports media so I’m at a crossroads here.
The entire NFL, other than KC, made the point he wasn't worth taking in the 1st.

We're the outliers here. KC is hoping he beats incredibly long odds.

Did we?

If we'd have overpayed for the Raven's tackle or traded for Tunsil I'd care less because there'd be a dependable fall back plan. I don't feel like a career back up is a dependable fall back plan.

To strengthen the ligament, this point of the rehab probably calls for lower weight and higher reps. To lower risk of re-injury and strengthening the affected area.

Educated guess, but highly likely.

Roaf "can hardly walk" okay? What's the point of saying that? Did he have a torn patellar? Because if not, it's completely useless and a waste of time to post it.



I don't like risk. If he rolls the dice and beats the 11% odds or whatever it's an unreal and complete FIX to our left tackle issue. But even if it works out it doesn't make the bet smart.



That said, I'm not really sure how ELSE we fix the position. You don't get this talent in free agency and you don't get it drafting at 32. It's a gamble that could fix the team for a decade. OR we just turned our first into a 5th.

11%?

My post was more tongue in cheek if you couldn't tell.

If the medical checks out. Then we got a blue chip talent at 32.

At the end of the day. Can he protect Mahomes? If we get average to above average LT for 4-5 years. They knocked this pick off out of the park.

I don’t love or hate Taylor. But yeah if you can replace him with someone better, it’s a large expense we don’t have to pay. We will need him no matter what this year but next year is a perfect time to start reconsidering.

Ronnie Stanley never hit free agency and I doubt the Texans would’ve ever considered a trade with the Chiefs unless they gel the Chiefs were getting completely ripped off.

Considering the available options, Moore was about the best they could’ve done.

Moore looked pretty good last year. He was solid while Silverback was out.

Sucks for Moore that he will likely lose the competition to Simmons, who is EXTREMELY SMILAR to Silverback. Very similar technique, functional strength, mobility and mentality.

The entire NFL didn’t need a starting LT. nor were they picking 32.

So if he was taken 5 picks later you would have been fine?

Or had a higher pick and got one.

We took the best available LT at the spot we were in.

Nor did we, based on the investment we made in Moore.

And every team in the NFL could use a pro bowl caliber OT with experience on both sides of the line who presents a long-term solution to a difficult position to fill.

Lack of 'need' doesn't explain the slide. Scheme fit, or lack thereof, doesn't explain it.

It's talent, injury or a combination of both.

So either we put more stock in the talent than most or less stock in the injury.

We ARE the outliers.

Apparently Veach made it clear he's not getting extended and is gone after this year. I don't have a quote but I've heard two different people say this. I'll assume it's true and he addressed it somewhere.

I think we've got options. One failed LT should be a fine guard and the other played well in spot duty at RT last year. Even if LT works out great this year we're back in the market next year at RT if the young talent we have doesn't improve enough to play passable football.

I mentioned before the draft that our stars were aging out.

Chris Jones and Travis Kelce are not going to be on the team in 3 years or if Jones is still around he won't be the Chris Jones that won 3 SB's.


We need to add elite talent as well as hit on picks.

If we landed a Pro Bowl Tackle at 32 that's a home run value with cost control that helps us win 2-3 more SB's.

We signed a guy with 7 career starts at LT and that’s enough to put it in the books eh?

Seems to me Veach wants to make sure what happened the last 2 years doesn’t happen again.

Too many eggs in 1 basket has backfired.

If anyone does not like the Simmons pick, you can always leave and root for another team
