To clarify my point, I would love to upgrade the OL (particularly the interior). I’m just not certain we will due to our limited means to do so this offseason. We have major needs at CB and LB, which I expect to be priorities in the draft.

Never said it was great, but they did have one of the best sack rates in the league despite Mahomes being hobbled too. His leg injuries (particularly the knee) were kind of fluky anyway.

Nobody is saying it has to be our first pick, but do you really think they want to risk their soon to be $40 million a year QB with shit stains like Reiter and Wylie? Fisher and Schwartz also aren't exactly young anymore and injuries are going to happen. We had zero depth at tackle last year and it led to Erving having to play LT.

I would love nothing more than to see Wylie go. If Reiter is our worst, I can probably live with that. My hope is they can find a mid round steal. |

If you gave me the option of picking the absolute best player at any position with our pick, I think OL would end up in my top three positions.
Best WR? Best RB? Best DE? Best Safety? CB, LB, IOL... those are my top positions of need, and frankly the order I expect this team to draft. |

Chiefs don't draft OL early, most folks know that already but yet they want to act like things are gonna change now? . The earliest they will be thinking about the o-line is the fourth or fifth rounds imo. I believe the line, though not perfect, could get through another season as it is. There's no way we could get away with not upgrading the CB and LB positions though, no way at all, so they must come first.

I still agree that LB/CB are big needs. They've been big needs for several years now, and they've painted themselves in a corner where they absolutely have to take certain positions. Not a great position to be in the draft, but it is what it is. OL doesn't have to be taken in the 1st, or maybe not even in the 2nd. But in that 2nd-3rd round has to finally be a point where they consider available prospects. They've been drafting an OL in the 5th or 6th range nearly every year and we've found absolutely nothing so far. Who fills in when/if Fisher misses time again or Schwartz finally has an injury? Who do we have on the interior OL that is a building block and can be counted on to improve and build around? We don't need a 2003 Chiefs OL, but we also need one that's a hell of a lot better. Or don't, and we'll see Mahomes continue to get nagging injuries or worse when the interior OL can't hold up. We'll continue to see a running game that is non-existent and unable to take the pressure off Mahomes. I'll keep harping on this, but the most logical answer is to trade down. Get another pick somewhere in the 3-4 range of the draft and we have more options and flexibility. |

That 177 in cap space is something I'm proud of says, Veach knows exactly what he's doing!

What are you basing that on? He won’t have to transition. He’s played off the ball before and it’s where he’s most comfortable. He’s a day 1 starter.
