Compounding the LB/LB on back-to-back years in the top 16, they did the same thing previously with QB/QB. And 2017 was Hassan Reddick, another LB (really a DE they played out off position...). Obviously the switch to Murray from Rosen was the right move, but they've had questionable positional decision making 5 years straight related to their 1st round picks. That statement is made agnostic of the actual players success. |

Another year and yet another shitty draft evaluation by Direckshun.
For as many mocks as you’ve done over the past 15 years, it’s clearly evident that you haven’t learned a goddamned thing. |

The Chiefs had the resources. They had the money. They needed the help. And the help is going to significantly make a difference. So pay the ****ing money. It's not hard. |

The Jaguars paying Andrew Norvell was dumb. They didn’t have a franchise QB or great tackles or even a great running back.
The Chiefs paying Joe Thuney was smart. He’s a multiple Super Bowl champion who blocked for the best QB in NFL history and checks all of the boxes in terms of leadership, pass blocking, run blocking and experience. As early as next season (and maybe even this season), Thuney will be the most senior of all of the offensive lineman and the Chiefs are smartly paying for a guy who’s been around the Super Bowl block and help to mold these guys into consistent champions. He’s worth every single penny. |

Well. This post perfectly encapsulates everything that needs to be said. Shut it down. Turn out the lights. Nothing more to see or say. |

Basham is a nice player but he's not a great fit here.
Can play DE early then kick inside later. I think Buffalo took him to play some 3 Tech because Oliver might be a bust that they took top ten. Creed all the way over Boogie. |

If every conversation is just going to devolve into "we should all defer to Veach in all things," then we have nowhere else to go. Because I still remember him as the GM responsible for the 2018 abomination. I may be the only one left, but I do. |

I don't think there's any doubt that the Chiefs had tunnel vision this offseason -- they used all three phases of the offseason to improve the OL almost exclusively. As a result, we are now shallow everywhere else. We were willing to obliterate our capspace for Trent Williams. We have no starting DE. We have no WR. We are skinny at literally every other position. There was a middle ground here. We know there was. |

Still do -- we have at least two holes open at starting positions. Guys, if Frank Clark goes down, which he has every year we've had him, we're going to be starting Taco Charlton and Mike Danna. And rotating in Tim Ward and Kaindoh. You guys aren't grasping how big of a hole that is. |
