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

They turned one of the worst run defenses in the league over the 10 years into a top 5 unit two years in a row. People are way overreacting. As usual.

Pats were horrible at drafting after their 2007 season. It wasn't until they drafted Gronk, McCourty, and a few other players that they got back to the super bowl.

Compared to Howie, Veach has not drafted well. Part of it is picking late in the draft. Part of it is scouting.

Your post doesn't understand the difference in cap and cash, Clark 100% has say over the amount of cash the team can spend.

Look at the Eagles roster, look at ours. It's pretty obvious that Lurie's cash budget for players is higher than Clarks.

They turned that around spending very few dollars, I give the front office a lot of credit for getting what they've gotten under their restraints.

Going into a season with Kingsley and Wanya as your two left tackles… what could go wrong.

It doesn't matter how they did it. They did it. There's zero reason at this point to just throw up our hands and say they are ****ed.

That's the most frustrating part. That was an easily identifiable issue even to the peons of the internet and it just wasn't addressed until the issue became critical.

I don't think ****ed is the proper term, they just aren't going to go the extra mile.

So we'll always be relying more on guys trying to turn it around or young players than the teams that are throwing up big time void years.

For example the Eagles drafted CB's, the Chiefs drafted CB's...we got rid of Sneed and they kept Slay.

O-Lines, and depth within O-Lines, matters. We have neither.

Exactly! And the Goof Troop contingency, led by a certain mod, called everyone "Chicken Littles" who dared to make that point. In any case, we saw what could and did go wrong. It was a problem going into the season, and no amount of duct tape had any chance of fixing it.

Obviously we should have went to the LT tree where they grow plentiful.

It's the Mahomes factor. They knew they'd get by no matter what because we have #15, so they crossed their fingers and hoped for the best.

It's a great approach if you want to alienate and piss off your superstar QB. Probably should go ahead and pivot on this one.

And even after it all went to crap he could have went after a guy like Cam Robinson that the Vikings traded for. Only cost them a 6th and 5th round pick swap that maybe turned into a 4th? Say what you say about how shitty Cam Robinson is but he would have still graded out as our best tackle.

Feel free to name who the Chiefs should have acquired there bc the list is pretty much non-existent

They took this approach to WR as well and Pat was still able to get a SB win. The problem is we have PROOF that this doesn't work with the OL! Bucs destroyed Pat and thus you say the front office go after Silverback and just really focus on the OL. Then we go on to win a couple of SBs and the front office starts relaxing on the OL again! For ****s sake!

Spend everything on the OL and then we know Pat can throw to crap receivers still.

pretty much anyone is better than what we had this year at LT...Mahomes doesn't need Jonathan Ogden protecting his blindside, just someone adequate.
