But Wylie is still pretty awful (the Raiders game was arguably his worst of the year) and frankly the OT play was EXACTLY as bad as folks were saying over the first half of the season. It was some of the worst T play in the league. The biggest frustration I've had with our OT play is the nature of the losses they take. I don't mind an OT losing a rep - that happens and we have a QB that can deal with it. But man, when those guys are off, they lose FAST. And it's because both of them have athletic limitations that don't allow them to recover if the make a mistake with their technique. Peak Fisher is still the best example of a 'solid' OT who has a perfect skill set for what we do. When he lost, he was still athletic enough that he rarely just got left lunging at air and losing the rep immediately and completely. |

Plus he was ****ing good and we won the bowl. And we surely would have won 2 if his wheels didn’t come apart. I’d say in todays team anyone that doesn’t appreciate Fisher is just being obtuse. Especially when you go back and look at his salary numbers. |

But Pickens and Tariq Woolen were my two MUST DRAFT players this year and damned if Woolen wasn't still on the board when Veach took Kinnard. Haunts me to this day, Woolen was the single most intriguing player in the draft for me. Liked Joshua Williams too, but man Woolen had the same build but with blazing speed. Imagine throwing him in the mix with McDuffie, Watson, and Williams. |

A legit SB contender has 9 drafted rookies on it, with 7 playing significant roles.
That's pretty incredible. |

Veach did an amazing job last year in the draft. Not enough superlatives to cover it. I just hope that this year when he only nets 3-4-5 players who turn out that people don't cuss and call for his head. 7 rookies playing big minutes well is a unicorn draft.

The fact that the Chiefs could just bring everyone back and be better next year due to experience is pretty awesome.
Then, you factor in that we'll almost certainly upgrade at least one of the OTs (replace both, but at least one will be better than what we have today), add more bodies to the DL, and possibly even get better at WR…damn. We’re already a great team…but this team can get so much better. |
Veach has done an amazing job.
He has created some great roster stability, which is key. At this point I think he can take some mid to late round picks and trying to fill in some key areas of need. For example, this team needs a kick returner in the worse way. We are using our #1 RB to return kickoffs and a top WR to return punts. Its not the worse thing in the world, but it would make sense to spend a 4-6 round pick on a kid like Charlie Jones who could return kicks starting on day one and provide depth at WR. Now I have no clue on where that kid will get drafted, but my point is there are areas of the roster where you can still find a nice landing spot for a rookie. |
