The Chiefs need to acquire their next star WR and LT of the future in this draft.
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? |

God forbid if Pat was down for a season, it's not going to matter who the back up is. But if he's down for a quarter, or a game or two, that's were a capable veteran who can steal a game can be the difference between a SB season or not. That is real value that we've already experienced first hand. The value in drafting, developing and then flipping a young backup QB for picks needs a lot of things to go right, just to get what? a Mid round pick? The other element here is that when you're a dynasty like we are, everyone wants to get paid and shit is expensive. We need all the picks we can muster to draft and develop talent around Pat on both sides of the ball. UDFA QB prospect that we try to strike gold on and then flip? Sure, I'm all for it. Doesn't deplete draft capital and we can develop them on the practice roster. But committing draft capital to the back up QB spot in hopes of a speculative future draft pick, and then having said young QB on the roster and be counted on in key moments I don't think serves our interests. Just my opinion. |

It's never a bad thing drafting someone that is skilled, intelligent, and of good character

You know who really popped at the Combine after I had written him off as a necessary move inside to OG was Troy Fautanu from Washington. He's got that Jason Peters build with longer arms (34.5") and near-equivalent athleticism.
It wouldn't surprise me to see him on the Chiefs radar as a LT in round 1. He might be had in that 15-20 range. I don't think we can afford to go higher without sacrificing alot so any dreams of Alt or Fashanu I've pretty well written off. |

He would be a great fit in Indy TBH but will Ballard pay up?

Ballard did give up #13 for Buckner and paid him once upon a time...
and I'm gonna level with you guys for a sec here. If Anthony Richardson can stay healthy, I think Indy is gonna be pretty ****ing good. Like, could see them in the AFCCG good. |

I'd just as soon not trade Sneed to either Indy or Jax. Both those teams are on the cusp of being REALLY good and a pain in our playoff asses.
Unless they offer us ridiculous compensation, of course. |

I agree. They were close last year without him, and Taylor wasn't 100% all season either.
