Veach says he regrets passing on him in the draft.

[O.city]

Yeah, I'd rather sign Lockett for beans.

If we're dipping into the short WR well, just bring back Hollywood who is 5-6 years younger.

We need an average or better left tackle to be really good on offense again. That’s it. Because that is what’s going to get Mahomes back on track too. The weapons are not a problem. We’re talking about needing RB help definitely and a WR3 + 4. That’s it.

We have got to stop constructing this team like it has Alex Smith at QB. We need to face the facts and be honest: the only reliable playmaking weapon on this offense currently is Xavier Worthy. That’s it.

We are all hopeful that Rice is back healthy and the same guy but will he be the same? Hollywood Brown is probably back on a 1 year deal, but he gets injured frequently. Kelce’s done fellas. He can give us a few games of old school Kelce but he’s not a weekly force anymore and his YAC ability is not anywhere near what it was 3 years ago.

They had the least explosive RB room in football. There was no goddamn threat outside of Worthy on this football team most of the season.

If you can get DK Metcalf for pick 63 or 66 (one pick, not both) you do that all ****ing day. They are not paying a single weapon on this offense anything after this year. Kelce and Hollywood are both likely off this team in 2026. If anything. Metcalf makes Kelce more valuable bc he’s not a top target on offense.

This draft isn’t good at WR. It’s not. There guys I like that are rd 3 developmental players but we need answers now.

I cannot believe folks are wanting to pay a slow LB with issues in coverage and a 29 year old safety money instead of using that money to pay for DK Metcalf.

**** me man. Are we really gonna keep doing the “Mahomes needs to put on the cape” bullshit to elevate a bad offensive roster again for a 3rd year in a row?

You can pay Cam Robinson or Ronnie Stanley. You can also trade and pay for DK Metcalf for 3 years.

Imagine this offense with Robinson or Stanley at LT, DK Metcalf and a RB like Judkins that you traded up for? This offense is scoring 30 burgers with relative ease weekly

And yeah if you are against trading draft capitol I get it. Then spend on this guy.

Really good points in the bold, man.

People seem to be forgetting that Rashee had a pretty catastrophic knee injury. I certainly hope he comes back 100% of his old self, but anyone EXPECTING it is delusional.

I'm going to preface this by saying this would never happen, and player for player trades never happen, but...

Seattle desperately needs interior OL help.

Yep. Think so also.

You're advocating to construct the team like they did with Alex. Weapons, lineman, etc.

If you need all these weapons around for a guy to be successful, well....we should probably discuss why he's being paid the way he is.

Kelce's 20ish million dollar cap hit hurts man

Roster bonus conversions are coming, just a matter of who.

The 2014 Chiefs were very similar to the 2023/2024 Chiefs. 7th in total defense, 2nd in points allowed, major offensive personnel issues outside of Jamaal Charles and first year Travis Kelce.

Same exact type of team. With Alex that team went 9-7 and missed the playoffs. With Patrick Mahomes that same type of team went to back-to-back SB’s winning one of them.

Hope this helps

Sure, he tore his LCL. Knee ligament injuries aren't that much to overcome anymore. Considering he tore his at the end of September, he'll be rolling by TC and then likely will have a suspension to deal with that will end up putting him a year out. He'll be fine. Maybe he won't be as explosive this year, but he'll be a factor.

There are WRs in FA. Chris Godwin, Darius Slayton, Elijah Moore. We'll have options. Hollywood might be back. Don't go throwing picks and money away at a position we have two quality players at already.

And this helps your arguement.....how?

They built up the defense, went to 3 straight SB's.

Now we wanna blow it out to get back to talent stacked offense because.....why?

[O.city]

And Alex Smith constructed team was one that went out and signed Maclin, drafted guys high until they finally figured that it didn't matter who you put around him, you would basically get the same output.

Until they got two all time greats in Hill and Kelce.

[Hoover]

The absolutely worst thing this team could do is trade away picks and pay a big contract. This team is fortunate that it isn’t paying a 30m per year contract to a WR. You want to add something to the offense draft a kid in the 4th.

LOL goddammit you guys suck. I'm bored AF and was really hoping for some "drink some antifreeze" responses.

Y'all are no fun.
