That's true, but Josh and the Buffalo offense got away with a SHITLOAD of turnover worthy plays in the last two Playoff matchups with the Chiefs. I counted 4-5 of them in the game a year ago, plus another 7-8 turnover worthy plays in the game this year. It was ridiculous how lucky Buffalo was on a lot of those plays. Chiefs defense just not able to make them pay for the mistakes.

He's the definition of a stop-gap. I'm not necessarily opposed, but if it takes a high pick it's not smart. And you're going to have to do this again next year or the year after-and '26 is when you can get out from under Taylor's deal. So yeah, I mean, maybe, but he's not THAT expensive honestly, and with a young QB I'd think you would want that veteran presence. |

If 'teams don't like the players at the top', then why do we want to throw half a draft worth of picks to get up there? Because if 'teams don't like the players at the top', then there isn't a sure-fire LT in that pool. If there was, nobody up there would let him get away. |

This conversation has gotten absurd.
I promise you, not a single poster here on the board OR anyone in the Chiefs organization is unconcerned with the left tackle situation. Not a single person. IF you don't follow the draft, and don't know what left tackles are IN this draft, don't spout a bunch of noise about trading whatever is necessary to go up and get THE GUY. The reality is, this is not THAT draft. This team is going to have a lot of tough decisions this off-season, and there will be significant turnover. We're going to need those picks to fill a lot of holes. Nobody trades great Left Tackles with prime years left. It's extremely rare, and only happens if they already have ONE, and they don't want to pay TWO. So, if this is what you want, Alaris Jackson is your man. Now, the resume is short, and there's a risk, but he did a nice job for the Rams this season. They've already got the other guy that was their plan A. Cam Robinson is Jawaan Taylor only not as good. I don't know about YOU, but I'm not crazy about that idea. If you're talking about an over 30 guy hopefully with a little left in the tank, we're talking stop-gap. This is probably the most likely path, and that mix will probably include Humphries. You will probably be over-paying in most cases. This means saying goodbye to good younger players you'd like to keep. This opens more holes. Nonetheless, this is PROBABLY what we'll do. Stop-gap and hope Kingsley develops behind him. |

They then pivoted to Brown Jr. who they tried to resign, but his pride got in the way and he signed with Cincy for less than what KC offered. They moved on from him to Donovan Smith who was a stop gap and sadly the best option available. This year they drafted a high upside guy in Round 2 who ended up being far more raw than anyone expected. Plus they brought in Humphries once he was medically cleared and he sadly did not pan out. It's not like there is this glut of FA LTs out there that they passed on to save a buck or two. LT is the second hardest position to fill on offense outside of QB. It's even harder when you draft 28 or higher every year. We are seeing the effects of why dynasties are so hard to build and maintain. Every team in this year's playoffs have benefitted from down years except KC. Outside of tanking (which Mahomes will never do), this is going to be the lot of this team for many more years. This means in order to maintain the dynasty they are going to have to be smart with FA signings as well as keeping as many picks as possible in order to draft as much talent as possible. That also means taking chances on raw, high upside guys like Kingsley and hoping they live up to it. |
