Chiefs Trade whatever possible for a LT prospect - Page 40

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

Again, it doesn’t need to be a great LT. It needs to be a decent one.

This is why I think we are going to pay Cam Robinson. 3 starters for the future can’t be washed away on a lottery ticket.

It’s gonna be too much risk for Veach I can already see it

That’s the consequence of one of the positions they did go cheap at… LT.

The Chiefs center, RT, and LG have three of the highest salary cap #’s on the roster… while both of their LT’s to start the season are making less than their third string RB (Perine).

Someone posted a quote from Veach that makes it sound like he won’t do anything serious in free agency. Can’t afford to do it because of the salary cap, and the owner’s refusal to play the Void Year game like Philadelphia. Veach’s hands are tied.

NO WE SHOULD NOT HAVR PAID ORLANDO OR SIGNRD HIM IN TBR FIRST PLACR.

stop looking at players as better vs worse than others

Look at skill sets. We need a light / tall offensive tackle like fisher was (undersized weight wise)

Adam Teicher has been repeating a quote from Veach about the draft being the Chiefs’ free agency.

I think the Super Bowl outcome changes that strategy… especially at LT.

When I look at how this team was built this year it’s quite shocking we beat the bills in the playoffs.

We aren’t nearly as good as we can be by next year and especially in 2 years.

The bills could have easily beat Philly in the superbowl I think

Barkley would have rushed for 300+ yards vs Buffalo’s defense.

Not that hard. If they trust their scouting then if they made that move, they'd have to believe that player can start for the next 10 years or so.

Every move they can do carries risk. This isn't the time to be risk averse and end up going into next year with a question mark. Whether it's signing a FA, finding a trade, or trading up for a draft pick, they need to go 100% at it.

If it means the rookie LT will have growing pains and at times make mistakes, fine. That will be the coaching staffs job to coach him up and Patrick to help him out when he can and not exacerbate those mistakes.

We need to let right guard walk, move or do something w/ Chris jones (restructure) and Kelce will proly retire. Bolton I think we keep.

This leaves money for us in FA

Had you watched the Bills against run first offenses this year? You also gotta remember how Allen fared against the Texans d-line.

I get that people did not like Orlando but look where that got us...

They literally just paid Jones last year.

We can easily draft elite guards in rounds 2-4

Do not worry about this position. Worry about left tackle and getting a rb that can contribute explosive plays in the pass game

You are forgetting one important aspect of this: there are generally only 13-15 real first rd grades in a draft class. Who wants to trade back in this scenario?

Teams aren’t gonna want to trade down to 31 and pass up elite caliber talent. The Dolphins or Colts for example are not trading back with us for more picks when Tyler Warren is there for the taking

They have holes at nearly every position group. This team has zero business trading the entire front half of the draft for one player.
