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.

Now is not the time to do this move. If it was 2023? Sure. Not now.
The 2021 and 2022 draft has done the heavy lifting for this team the last few years and now the time has come to pay them.
To my count, they can keep some, but not many. You’re likely losing one of Trey Smith/Nick Bolton. You’re losing Pacheco, probably Watson, maybe Chenal (I’m hoping we can keep him) and Williams.
Also gonna have to replace Kelce and guys like Tranquil, maybe Omenihu, maybe Hollywood and Kareem since we have a terribly non-explosive RB room.
We haven’t exactly had great drafts recently compared to those 2.
I love Rashee, love Worthy, love Hicks and think Kingsley will start at RG, but they need these early picks to build the future of the roster the next 4 years.
It’s a risk assessment of captital. Use it on one important lottery ticket or use it on several lottery tickets for the greater good of the whole roster?
