A guy like Graham Barton for example. I think IOL is more important to Mahomes than tackles. He can maneuver the tackle problems but not interior pressure. It’s not that likely to me but if it happened I’d be more than fine with it |

Nah, I'd not take a G that early, especially if you Kinglsey and Taylor and Creed are here playing well.
Keep picking away in the mid rounds and see if you can't develop them. In terms of the first next year, DT seems to be a big spot for me. |

*** Edit *** Sorry - just noticed the "Mahomes isn't underpaid" string that is more or less the same discussion. |

I feel this way too. And they have that extra early 3rd from the Titans. I’d bet Veach uses that to trade up for someone.

The odds of me getting someone 90% as good as Barton in the 2nd or 3rd rounds is substantially higher than me getting a valuable pass rusher or OT in those rounds. I think you just keep playing large numbers and see how it goes. |

If Suamataia pans out, it really does free up the next draft. And I think OG and DT seem to be the most obvious fits. All that said, getting deals done with Creed and Butker now makes a ton of sense. I think Bolton is the most difficult to deal with. I'm all for paying him market price, I just don't want to overpay the dude. LB market as we have seen is all over the place.

How many times has Butker made a long kick to save the game or give Mahomes another shot to win? Thats sooo valuable. Look what happened to Buffalo....wide right on an average kick length. We all assume the guy is going to make it when he lines up. |

Well deserved for both these guys. Now let's have Creed hit Mahomes in the numbers with 95%+ of his shotgun snaps this season. And Butker can just do what Butker does; we don't win it all last season without him.
