If that's the case, don't take one. Take one later.

They don't need a left tackle in the draft, especially if they plan on using Niang there.

Sure, if thats the case.

I don't think it really is, but we shall see. Just have to have a feel for the board and be ready to move.

I would prefer to take one in the 2nd after taking a WR or DE early.

I think one of Spencer Brown, Stone Forsythe or Walker Little will be there at 63.

And I think that’s fine to sit them year 1. Especially since we are getting Lucas Niang back and Willie Gay will be ready to take over as a starter

[O.city]

I don't really understand the want for another LBer. Unless one of the high end ones fall, I'd just take one in the 3rd or 4th.

Yup but what they do need is a DE. Badly.

I’m just not sure they’re gonna be able to have one available at 31

There’s depth at DE well into round 4.

They don’t need to do it at 31, along with any other position.

With that said, I think there will be value at 31.

A trade down into the late 30s would be ideal. Here is a pipedream. I think Forsyth could be a late 2nd.

This shit all comes down to how truthful the “we liked Niang at LT” statement is.

Exactly.

Absolutely. It just might not be at OT. And it's not the end of the damn world if it isn't.

[RunKC]

Just a reminder: Veach has executed 5 draft trades in his career as GM.

Every single one of them was a trade UP to get his guy

What reason do we have to believe he'd flat out lie about it?

Yeah. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. It's worked okay so far but it's not going to forever. Especially when you have guys like Clark making so much money and not getting enough return.

Here’s the thing: they need someone to contribute now. Not sure you’re gonna be able to find a stud like Sneed in rd. That’s hard.

I think they want to do that earlier.

I know there’s a lot of coach/GM speak, but I believe Veach when he said he wants to attack the trenches.

He saw how inconsistent Frank Clark was in the regular season. He knows that Danna and Taco are nice role players but not big impact starters. He saw this DL lack pressure in many games last year.

I’d argue that DE is the biggest need on the team now assuming they think Niang is the LT.

Even though I’ve mocked corner to them this is Brett Veach we’re talking about. If we trade up it will probably be for a DE bc we can all see that tier is not gonna be there at 31

The only thing that I could see is if they don’t want it to seem like they’re desperate for a LT. Niang is an unknown so it puts smoke out there.

Well not long ago Veach lied to us when he said Fisher was on track to return by training camp as if that was a plan.

Then they cut him
