IF (big if) the Chiefs feels Conerly is going to be an even decent starting tackle you trade up for him.
Doubt we’d have to, but if you told me Conley was gonna give us the stability Eric Fisher did but we needed to give up a 3rd? Yeah I’m doing it without blinking

Those guys are both really good 3 techs. The problem is, we have THE 3 tech with Jones. So how do you see KC using them? Move Jones outside? I don't think he's as good at DE as inside, and anyway, that means you take Karlaftis out.
So, while I think those are great prospects, I don't see them as improving the team as much as one of the guys that can play nose, like Grant or Williams. You can pair those guys WITH Jones on any/all downs and seriously improve your front 4.
Just my opinion.
and on Conerly, yes, I agree IF they think he's a Fisher level player, then you absolutely make that deal. I just don't think anyone can say that with any certainty. As I said, I don't dislike the player, and if he falls to our pick, I'd certainly consider it, depending on who else is on the board.
