Asked about the tackle rotation, head coach Andy Reid reiterates what he has said in the past: best five. Mentions that Jaylon Moore can also play right tackle. Truly sounds like the #Chiefs will have a three-way battle (Josh Simmons, Jawaan Taylor, Moore) for two spots.

All the people here who have been defending Jawaan Taylor the past two years… say hi.

Is a late 5th round pick worth giving up an affordable 5th year on his contract, not being a first round selection, which automatically comes with the affordable 5th year?

Agreed. I hated giving up a 5th rounder we didn’t have, only to draft a guy in the first round, but post date him to the 2nd round so we don’t get the 5th year option. I don’t understand Veach’s wizardry on that one.

Veach is truly a wizard if he made the 32nd pick a second rounder...KC GAINED a 5th rounder for dropping a slot.

You don’t do well with sarcasm, do you? How did anything I said make any sense at all?

Given the 2nd round has not started yet, maybe he still can change his mind on the pick.

If they feel Moore can play RT, that at least makes things make more sense.

Regardless of however we feel about Taylor good or bad, no way he's staying next year at his cap figure.

Without a doubt, and I'm a big believer that Reid/Mahomes/Spags make up for a lot of those miscalculations on gameday, and they shouldn't have to keep doing so. The thing is, I really believe Reid and Mahomes have a lot more input than the average HC/QB, obviously. I think they have both been more than onboard for some of the flop picks like CEH and Skyy.

They will live and die by their process, and so far you can't possibly argue with the results. I mean, going into the season with Moore/Taylor as basically your only two tackles was asking for disaster again, and to have a top 10 talent slip to you at 32 is a risk I'm willing to take either way. This isn't like the CEH, FAU and Skyy picks where you were reaching. This is taking a homerun swing, and I'll never have a problem with that.

Sure.

But what if we have a runner on 2nd and 3rd in a 1 run ballgame?

Might that be the case when we have just signed Jaylon Moore and there is a lot of reason to believe that he can be a good solution to the LT issue?

Maybe a more accurate situation would be a runner on 1st and 3rd in that 1 run ballgame. And maybe we're not in the 9th -- we're in the 8th.

Now a single doesn't win it...but really, a homer doesn't either. But man, it would be really nice to have the lead, so you're not looking for a single, but you're looking for that double that drives in 2.

in either event, you really don't wanna strike out. So maybe the HR swing isn't strictly necessary because the HR isn't necessary OR dispositive in its own right.

I totally understand what you're saying, but I really have no problem with this team having three starting caliber tackles. Last year we barely had even one, and you saw the end result. I'm in agreement with you that I wouldn't have made the pick, but I do get what they were thinking. They simply can't let Mahomes get destroyed anymore. They have to go above and beyond to make sure it doesn't happen.

What happens with the next three picks will also go a long way in making this pick more palatable. If they land a RB, WR and DL who are day one contributors today (which is entirely possible) I'll be pretty happy with how everything turned out.

Only time will tell, all we can do is watch now.

We went from having zero left tackle to having two. I'm on board with that.

What are you talking about?

My post was suggesting that:

Cam + Simmons + $10mil in cap space > Jaylon + Simmons

Disagree?

It was reported well before Robinson actually signed that he's not a guy teams like off the field. That's why it took him solong to sign. You'd know this if you had a clue, but instead you just bitch.

You're the only person today confused about the Chiefs taking a T. Everybody else is just arguing about the injury concerns. Literally nobody but you doesn't understand why they took the position.

I think we only ever defended him because he was the best we freaking had!

I can't wait to sit his ass on the bench and boot him off this team now.

You probably should stop replying to me then. Save people the trouble of having to read my posts twice. Run along Scrappy.
