How many qualify LTs are you finding at the end of the first round?

how many are you finding later? come on man.

It is what it is.

You want to go into the season with some street bums on Mahomes' blind side?

We're probably picking #32.

I like Mayfield a lot. I like Teven Jenkins a lot in that range.

I don't think Leatherwood is an NFL LT, or at least not in an Andy Reid offense.

I thought maybe at RT.

You’re already adding a very talented 3rd round pick. I know Niang is an unknown, but dude had some good tape against Young/Bosa.

Re-sign Remmers, and draft another one somewhere in the rounds 1-4.

Hopefully Schwartz can play 1 more year.

And I’m fine with that. I’m just saying....what top LTs are going to be there at #32?

Direckshun 01-24-2021 11:42 PM

Man, it’d sure be nice if Schwartz wanted back in and was 100% healthy. It would give us so much breathing room to figure out LT.

You just can’t count on it.

I think it shoots to the top of our needs now.

I don’t see OT being BPA there.

Agreed. This is a deep class and Andy is masterful with the OL.

If that’s BPA, then go ahead, but no pressure to do it in the 1st.

Honestly I think this year needs to be a focus on the offense. I’d like both of our first 2 picks to be offensive minded, ideally a WR first (unless a good LT is there) and an OL in the 2nd.

I feel like we have the luxury to do that with the addition of Sneed, Gay, Wharton and Danna.

Patrick needs another WR to replace Sammy.

If KC wants an OT Veach will get one considering how he has tunnel vision for prospects he favors on the draft board

Direckshun 01-25-2021 12:17 AM

The evidence we have so far is that the Chiefs are comfortable getting by with bargains at guard but they’re perfectly willing to pay retail to get good tackles.

They’re going to spend some resources, guys. A fair amount of resources.

I’d prefer 2 of our first 3 picks to be OL and WR.

But that won’t keep me from taking a DE in the 1st that could take this defense to another level.

You know who’s probably the best fit for our offense?

Walker Little from Stanford.

He had a knee injury in 2019, and opted out in 2020. Him and Niang would give you 2 1at round caliber talents at OT that fell due to injury.

That’s how you get value while not having to use a 1st.

Let’s say Fisher does have a torn achilles, 2021 is the last year on his contract. It’s unfortunate, but does this injury change the plan at left tackle going forward? If somehow Niang or someone else was able to step up at left tackle in Fisher’s absence, maybe it makes sense to let him walk after next year?

If Fisher doesn’t look like he can make it back at the start of next season,
I think they’ll either ask him to work a team friendly extension or cut him.

Little IS a good fit. His stock has been up and down but he’s solidly in the second round range now.

I’d be cool with grabbing him there. I suspect his stock may rise as draft day nears.
