Chiefs Trade whatever possible for a LT prospect - Page 46

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

That was four years ago.

Recently, including this past offseason, the Chiefs went the cheap route to try to fill their LT position.

And the results speak for themselves.

Two kinds of capital in the NFL, bud. Cap dollars and draft picks. You have a limited supply of each. You have great demand for Left Tackles, and very short supply.

You act as though there were all-pro's sitting there and we said, "Nah, that's more than we want to spend."

That's not the case.

This is more than likely true.

I'm warming up to Tyron Smith

The NYJ are going through a shakeup, dude could probably be reasonably acquired... Smith, Humphries and Suamataia fighting to earn it this offseason just sounds right to me considering the other options

Two seasoned vets and a solid second year project with traits seems like a good trio to bet on in my book.. someone competent is surely coming out the other side of that competition

Good thing that I didn't just mention Trent then. Explain what "not going cheap" looks like post Trent.

He's the kind of veteran that Mahomes would trust and feel comfortable with.

Probably still better than what we got from Donovan Smith last year.

Allocating the $$$ they wasted on a terrible right tackle, towards addressing the left tackle position.

That would be a good start.

If they're trading up for a guy, the guy will likely be more polished than Kingsley and won't be game breaking like him. You can live with rookie mistakes as long as they're not putting Patrick Mahomes body at risk every single snap.

How about don’t enter a season with a 2nd round raw rookie and second year player who struggled mightily as a rookie as your only options at LT?

There is a middle ground that doesn’t necessitate signing an “all pro” LT.

A veteran LT… i.e Tyron Smith… would have been better than recklessly going into a season with two inexperienced LT’s.

Accolades coming out of his ears star veteran on the backside, yet had an up year late in his career in 2024?

Sounds like a Veach special to me

Yeah sign me up for a reasonable price, some of these older guys are just built different and are able to hold up better as they age with superior genetics and guile... gimme a three way camp battle, and may the best man win

ChiefsHawk · 02-12-2025, 06:32 PM

Sign Jackson for LT, trade for Garrett and draft a explosive RB early. Find depth for the o-line and dline and hopefully a corner and this team would be stacked next year. Rice probably gets a 2 game suspension so definitely need another wr.

Such as whom? Who out there did they not go after because they wanted to go cheap with the LT position?

He was on IR since November with a neck injury. Not so sure about that. And he's 34.

There wasn't much for FA LTs last year either.
