Mizzou's pro day was yesterday:
The good: Tyree Gillespie (S) ran a 4.38. He is an average-sized safety but is versatile and fast. He also hits hard. Interesting 3-4 round guy. The bad: Nick Bolton measured small (but with longer-arms) and ran a 4.6. He really is a guy who needs to play inside in the NFL and will struggle to match up with speed (RB) or size (TE) in coverage. |

Rondale Moore measured in at 5’7”? Damn what is it with these tiny receivers?

There's also a reason many of these 2nd to 4th round names at tackle aren't 1st round players. They need time to develop and that's to say if they ever do develop into starters.
The Chiefs don't exactly have the luxury at this point to just wait around a couple of years for some of these guys to become decent players. They need a LT now. It was an entirely different thing before Eric Fisher got hurt, where you thought you had another year to get a guy and get him ready. Same goes for signing a solid FA. Well, Fisher isn't here and the FA class is gone. You pretty well have an often injured guy in Okung that is available and little else. KC either needs to pony up and trade for a starter, and that pool is slim, or they need to go into the draft and get one. Doing that means moving up and grabbing one and that's going to cost something of significance. Moving up to say, 18, and grabbing Cosmi is going to cost you a 2nd and 4th at a minimum. Cosmi isn't lasting until 31. None of the guys that can step in and play this year are lasting until 31. Too many teams out there with needs at the position. I don't like it as much as anybody else. I wish I were here pounding the table for Joe Tryon or Greg Newsome. Instead, I'm here championing for Veach to trade up for a left tackle. That's not exciting and I sure wish it weren't necessary, but I simply see absolutely no way around it. And to wait until 63, or even for a trade up in the 2nd is not only foolish but highly unlikely. |

No, foolish is forcing yourself into a trade up in the 1st.
There’s no guarantee that Cosmi would be ready to start day 1 at LT either. That’s why I think a vet like Okung is a must. Okung at least buys Niang and a rookie some time. Last edited by staylor26; 03-23-2021 at 09:23 PM.. |

Spencer Brown is very intriguing.... Also Terry won't be there in the 5th even though I thought he was a lot taller |

With the way everyone is talking....there are going to be 12 OTs that go before pick 31.

Sewell Slater Darrisaw Vera-Tucker Cosmi Jenkins Somebody is bound to slip further than people think. There just aren’t that many teams in the top 15 that I see taking a T. I see 2-3 going before the 18th pick. I don’t think we have to trade up that far to get one. Outside of the top 10 or so, there’s really no consensus nor telling what will happen. You might think there’s no way Cosmi or Jenkins fall into the 20’s but just looking at mock drafts and scenarios says differently. |

Daniel Jeremiah
Mel Kiper Lance Zierlein Just a few guys that don’t even have Cosmi going in the 1st round. Now do I think that happens? No, I don’t think he gets passed 31, but the point is I don’t think he’s a lock to go top 20 either. Not without one of those other guys slipping more than we think. |

If a LT that might be able to start day 1 falls to 31, it'll be Little because of the no football thing and he's going to have some serious rust to knock off. |
