Trade whatever possible for a LT prospect

[RunKC]

I don’t care. If there’s a LT in this draft that they feel can be a good quality LT, do it.

I don’t care if it would cost three 1st rd picks. Mahomes is not gonna be this athletic for much longer.

It needs to happen

This.

Please be true. The more QBs the better.

They were turning down offers to trade him. Apparently Veach asked last year.

They look like bullshit when you have a bunch of 6'6" to 6'8" guys measuring at 33". It just doesn't seem right, especially en masse. When I watched the footage, it didn't look like they were taking measurements in the normal fashion. Very odd. Some of these guys, you look at them on tape and you can tell they have long arms and are keeping guys out of their chest and then they measure in at 33" and you're like WTF? I think you're totally onto something.

[htismaqe]

Yeah, I wasn't talking about combine measurements. I just knew that Conerly's arms were on the shorter side. He's a good player with a solid floor. I just wouldn't trade up for him. I don't think he's worth that much and I don't think he's guaranteed to start right away. He would essentially be another arrow in the proverbial quiver. If they're going to throw numbers at it anyway, I'd rather have more speed at 31.

[Chris Meck]

Well, see, Veach placed a Chiefs scout on the arm measurement team with an incorrectly marked tape measure.

No one gives a damn what I think, but there is a -0% chance we go LT at #1

We already have 3 different inexpensive, in house LT options ready to battle it out in camp... the best D lineman on the board is the only sane choice

Then gimme a 4.4 or better back with hands at #2, none of this 220 dudes running a 4.5 at best who can't get outside vs NFL defenses... we need triples and homeruns, consistent 30-60 yarders

We need greasy fast speed at RB, its time to spend big on a Henderson type

Are the "physical traits" something we're just conjuring up in our heads or hearing from talking heads? What is it? Because all of you guys that keep regurgitating this as truth can look at them right here and tell me how one is so much better than the other...

Suamataia
6'4-5/8", 34-1/4" arms, 326 lbs, 10-5/8" hands, 5.04 40, 1.74 10 split, 28" vertical, 9'2" broad, 31 reps

vs

Conerly
6'4-5/8", 33-1/2" arms, 311 lbs, 10-3/8" hands, 5.05 40, 1.71 10 split, 34.5" vertical, 8'7" broad (arm length is debatable; pro day is 34" and probably more accurate than combine)

The guy who played better, looked smoother on tape, and did it against better competition happens to be Conerly, too.

I hated Kenny Pickett as a prospect, but I respected the Squealers for at least trying.

For this one? No. They do not deserve an A for effort.

If you want Speed Score hero then it's Bhayshul Tuten. He's right there with Pacheco in that area.

For what it's worth, Mike Tice thinks Conerly is the best OL in the class.

Episode is out now! And it did not disappoint.

We talked about 11 OL prospects, including a surprising choice from my dad for his OL1 in this class (that I endorse!) https://t.co/8yREk9O9Uk pic.twitter.com/NivI5obiM4

For the record, my opinion on Conerly was lodged prior to the combine. I watch a ton of B1G football and I watched him all year. I've said it several times - he kind of reminds me of a poor man's Rashawn Slater. He's obviously a little smaller, you can see it on tape. But he's smart and has good technique.

I'm not against taking Conerly at 31. I'm absolutely against trading up for him.

It would be aggressive to the point of reckless but IF they traded down with KC and took Dart with that 1st (you don't want to come out of the 1st and lose the 5th year on him) it might make some sense for them.

Or if they trade down with anyone else in the late 1st.

I'm not seeing Milroe but I could see him being used as a smokescreen to get their hands on Dart.

I don't think it's a wise pick but man, if you need a QB (and they do) you've gotta take some swings. Dart has some NFL skills -- the rest is just how well he develops.

It's a defensible decision.
