Cam Robinson at a fair price point wouldn’t be bad at all. He’s probably in the Thuney range of “productive and won’t ruin games for you” territory.
As much as I’d want to draft a LT I just don’t see it. The Conerly kid is going top 20 and Simmons will likely too despite his injury (he said he’ll be ready by training camp).
I don’t want the Chiefs to do a Mahomes like trade up for one of these guys.

I do. It's the second most important position in the sport. Go get a dude and forget about it for 10 years. Aside from LT and QB, the only other position I'd spend a lot of capital on is a Pass Rusher. You need dudes at those spots to win in the NFL consistently. We've been lucky to hodge-podge it a bit at LT but a lot of that has to do with being great across the rest of the OL and even then we at least had near-average there and not complete and utter dogshit.
I'm convinced, wholeheartedly, that we won't get the old Mahomes back until he completely and unquestionably trusts his LT. Why should we care if we blow two late 1s and a 3 to get a stud LT? Especially in this draft where we have that other high 3... Go get em. Conerly or Simmons would be just fine with me.
Cam ****ing Robinson is not the answer. He may have not been to blame for all of Darnold's shortcomings but he sure as shit wasn't very good in Jacksonville either. I'll pass on that circus.
If Ronnie Stanley does hit the market, which I doubt, I'd consider chancing that guy to stay healthy for a bit. I'd probably take a shot at Alaric Jackson over Robinson if he does but man that scares me a bit too. At the end of the day though, I just don't love any of those options. We need our guy, it's time.
