Going into the draft think we HAVE to get a LT and the only place to get one is in the top 2/3 of the 1st round is essentially walking into the draft room blind and bound. It's completely reckless. |

Cam Erving was a ****ing disaster at LT. He didn't get anyone killed, but it wasn't for an entire season so let's not act like he wouldn't have. Did we sign Okung? Last I checked we didn't. If that does happen, I'd feel a little bit better about taking what the draft offered. Tega-Wanogho has yet to prove he can make an NFL roster, much less be able to start at LT if asked to do so. Niang has never played LT and there's no guarantee he can. D'Ante Smith is likely a 4th round pick that doesn't have the feet to play LT in the NFL and there's little guarantee he'll handle the outside at all. Of all the options you just put out there, sans actually signing Okung, I'd feel 100 times better thinking Remmers was going to be the starter at LT at least until I could see Niang try out LT. |

Obviously, if the Chiefs don’t add a veteran before the draft, they might just have to force the issue at LT. I just don’t see any way that they do. They’ll sign him or trade for somebody, I’m almost sure of it. And I’m sorry, but I hink you’re way off on Smith. He’s easily a top 100 player and absolutely has the feet to play LT. Dude was every bit as impressive at Meinerz at the Senior Bowl before he got hurt. I guarantee he won’t be a 4th round pick. |
Sounds like a Veach wet dream

Putting your hopes in Okung with a developmental LT not ready for the field is what’s reckless.
Okung is not reliable. He IS going to get hurt. He’s Sammy Watkins at this point. I don’t want a developmental LT like Hudson or Smith out there in the playoffs. I don’t trust that. I want one of the best LT prospects out there. And no we aren’t “putting ourselves in a reckless situation based on need”. We are currently in that situation bc we cut Fisher and missed out on Williams. That’s the reality of the situation. |

Even with the best available LT prospect we can get, they're likely not starting day 1. There's 3 guys in this draft that are "sure things" and we're not getting one of them without trading up a good 20 spots. That's not going to happen. And the current situation is a continuation of cutting both tackles and not signing Williams. That was a reckless move and will continue to be reckless until they sign a veteran stopgap before the draft. If they go into the draft just like they are now, it's just a continuation of the reckless behavior that's happened so far, not a different work stream altogether. |
I could see Reid being interested in this speed in the backfield. Might have snuck into the last few rounds after this Pro Day though instead of going undrafted. A bit of an injury plagued career though. Backed up one of the best RB’s in the country between Montgomery(now with Bears) and Breece Hall. Great ST’s player too.

Dallas Cowboys - I think they're locked in on Surtain if he's on the board. Jacksonville Jaguars - Maybe. Of course they aren't going LT at 1. Not sure they go LT later. They have a ton of holes and Robinson is 'ok' Minnesota Vikings - No. Reiff was cut because Cleveland is going to be the LT and is cheaper. WFT - Yeah they will be in the market. Green Bay - Not too concerned. They needed direly to get Aaron weapons last year and drafted his replacement. Miami Dolphins - They will likely take Sewell, but nbd. Tennessee Titans - Would be surprised if they don't go WR or CB. Indianapolis Colts - Yes. Kansas City Chiefs - Yes. Los Angeles Chargers - Yes. Pittsburgh Steelers - I think they sign what's his **** back for a bargain rate. New Orleans Saints - The Saints preparing for tomorrow? Doubtful. I think the Chiefs are going to have options even if they stay at 31. Too much panic on CP. |
I saw something that said the Steelers haven’t taken a T in the 1st round in a REALLY long time.
