And I'm not sure that isn't the best plan given the strength of the draft.
I'm not sure it IS, but I see the logic.
I expect ALL of this to be academic though, as I think Trey Smith gets too big of an offer for KC to match. I think Veach has a line in the sand and it won't be far enough.

Couldn’t agree more with this post.
Cowherd has been trying to make the case for a few years now that teams should pay offense and draft defense and kinda uses the Rams as an example of what it looks like. And to their credit, that approach got them out of the their “F them picks” rebuild in just one year.
I dunno, I do think we kinda put our foot in our mouths when we say, “the OL got us killed in the Super Bowl again!!!!” And then simultaneously get pissed when
rumors indicate that’s where they wanna spend their money….
I get asset allocation and all that, but can you ever truly overspend on OL/DL?
Andy has kinda already told us he thinks the main issue in LIX was not being able to run the football. Trey Smith does help that issue, regardless of if you think he’s just average or good pass blocker. I too suspect he won’t be back though once they hear what other teams will give.
