Can we please stop using blanket terms with this team? They've had on paper anyway mediocre WRs and there LTs have been Orlando Brown/Donovan Smith
They don't have to do anything |

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. |

For the long term obviously a rookie or Wanya developing and working out is far better.
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. |

But their injury problems are scary and I don’t think you can bet on them to play 20 games. So, I’d just prefer we take our lumps with some growing pains and get a long term answer this year when it appears possible to do so even in picks 32-64. |

I love the idea of taking Amegadjie, but he definitely requires a backup plan. The torn quad doesn't look good for him being a suitable starting option for this year.

That might be tolerable for us if you know your LT is gonna be cheap for 5 years and Thuney is almost off the books. |

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

I think just having some cost controlled stability for a few years has value, even if the player is just alright. |

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.
