Rickey says it’s LT

If it were that easy, NOLA and Houston wouldn't have been caught with their dicks in their hands in 2017 and the Buffalo Bills wouldn't be dealing with the waste of space that is Kaiir Elam.

Not buying it. This kind of wholesale knowledge ain't out there for some dude to get. Now he may be right that the Chiefs are going after an OT - but I'm not convinced he has any more knowledge than any of the rest of us do in that regard. It's an obvious need and we have an aggressive GM.

The rest is just jerking himself off.

Precisely. Anyone with a pulse on the Chiefs knows we need a LT. It's not some big secret being kept. We all fully expect that Veach will address that before WR if the opportunity is there to actually get a LT he likes.

If an elite LT prospect isn't there but there is the opportunity to get an elite playmaker, I don't foresee Veach passing only to stay put and draft a guy like Suamataia. I just don't think Veach is wired that way.

I kind of think he's in an agents office. One of the big agents who has players on every team that would be plugged in.

Veach himself could only be 60% confident in landing a tackle. Rickey has been batting .800 throughout free agency. But the draft is a different ball game. Especially when the team is slated at 32.

I do think it’s more likely we end up with a tackle over a receiver. But nobody knows shit. See Will Levis or the million other examples

Why? Seems like Paul will be there at the #32 and I'd argue he's worth the pick ahead of the 2nd. Also Guyton, Kiran, and Kingsley are probably available around #32... a top half of the 2nd OT is less likely to bust than a WR.

I would have slapped myself a week and a half ago but I'm coming around on Paul.

Guyton is the only one of those that is even worth discussing at 32 and even I think that's a stretch...

Dude - if that ever got out and that agent had a leak that public, the entire agency would get fired into the ****ing sun.

And if that were even a consideration, you have to believe that every major agency in the industry is slapping key-loggers on their guys and throwing IT at it to see if they can smoke him out.

Because if you have an agency doing stuff like that it would be a MAJOR problem. Hell, there are probably real ethical problems and genuine malpractice exposure the agency would be subject to.

I mean anywhere that they find out its coming out like that is going to be ground zero when it gets out. Unless its the NFL office and they can cover it up. Could be a Vegas person? Someone connected setting Vegas odds and greasing palms?

Which is why I think it's the League Office.

If it were anywhere else, they'd have burned the forest down looking for him by now. League office? Pft - publicity is publicity. Interest is interest. I don't think they'd care all that much.

That is fair. Didn't he get shut down once then come back on a fresh account? Maybe he pulled the plug for fear then they said hell nah Rickey we want the clicks.

I mentioned it yesterday in the Lounge, but I'm definitely skeptical of his draft predictions, because it's a different animal than free agency.
