There’s gonna be - some might be more raw than others though.

Jordan Morgan, Kingsley Suamataia, Patrick Paul, Guyton could be, and there’s some others that if nothing else they may like a lot more than Wanya at that spot.

Just reading the tea leaves. It’s not hard.

It’s Veach’s strategy, and most GMs, to attack positions like this when the board sets up this way.

Offense was tough this year. We shouldn’t be content to run it back like that even though it worked out this once.

To the victor goes the spoils....

How damn fortunate we are to have a draft class like this, the year we need WRs and a LT of the future, despite picking at 32.

After this combine has unfolded, I'm convinced that Veach and Andy need to be aggressive about going and getting their guys at WR and LT.

Trade up twice if you have to. Flip all your damn later picks if you have to.

It is incredibly rare to have an opportunity to solidify two cornerstone positions like LT and WR in a single draft class picking from the Super Bowl champions slot. But, this is what the Chiefs are working with this year.

So, who do you want KC to grab if/when Veach does try to proactively make this happen?

For the short term? I don't think it really matters. We'll struggle at LT if we don't have Smith or some other veteran in there through trade or free agency. And that's the bitch of going all in. If you're going all in, you need a decent LT or you can probably forget about the threepeating. I don't think starting a rookie, even one that they highly covet and manage to trade up to get, is going to get the job done.

It's why I think we're going to bring back Smith, potentially for multiple years. Or perhaps we've been secretly planning for the Jawaan Taylor to LT over the course of the regular season behind closed doors. Or, like Titty Meat said, they're in the prime of Mahomes, and they know they can win a Super Bowl any number of different ways.

Thuney is still here for probably two years though.

Wanya is more valuable as the swing tackle.

Couldn’t Wanya be the swing this year then RG next year? I can’t imagine we’d pay to keep Trey Smith.

Assuming Wanya doesn’t take the starting LT gig.

Problem with this OT class is while deep, a lot of these guys project better to RT, or even OG.

Give me the Yale guy in the 2nd round.

There’s more than a few high upside/more raw LT options that will be there for us if we want, and I’m OK taking that gamble for a kid who will play next to Thuney and be coached by Heck.
