Chiefs could have probably $40 million in cap space by:
Restructure (salary into signing bonus) Clark and Mathieu Cut LDT after June 1 Extend Chris Jones and Travis Kelce (though both players may not want that) |

As much as I'd be fine with cutting LDT, could we really replace him with anyone better this year?

As for LDT himself, I don't think we can really judge his abilities on his performance for most of last season. It was his first season back from breaking his leg; it was always going to take most of of or all the season for him to get back to his pre-injury form. It'd be interesting to see how he performed in the playoffs vs. the first 8 weeks of the season to see how he trended. I'm betting he was significantly better in the playoffs. Which could mean that he could be solid in the upcoming season as his confidence in his leg has grown. |

That's not nearly good enough. We have ONE real unicorn, and that's Patrick ****in' Mahomes. We must do a better job of protecting him. Nothing else is as important. Not ****ing linebackers covering RB's, nobody can score fast enough to keep up with us that way as long as that's all they've got. We need to improve that interior line. Rankin is not a wash with Wisniewski, that's completely stupid. Wylie is complete ass, and Reiter is a back-up at best. LDT wasn't looking great, but perhaps it's issues from the injury. We need at least two upgrades from guard to guard. And we need a blue-chip corner. And we need a cover backer. It'd be nice if O'Daniel would develop. But don't you dare put your SB aspirations on Martinis ****in' Rankin being good enough. |

Breeland isn't getting 10 a year, Chris Harris barely got that.

I think people are kinda missing that we're 2-3 years away from having to use high picks on OT's.

And we arent really in "dire" need of IOL either. It would be a very nice upgrade, but we basically won the superbowl with what we have except we lost wis. We will get Rankin back at some point and i expect him to start at LG.

Just because that exact formula worked last year that doesn't mean it will work again. What happens when interior pressure gets Mahomes injured again, except this time it's for more than 2 games? Or what happens when Mahomes has an off game, and the interior OL is getting their shit pushed in as always so we're not able to lean on the run game?

And they got their S pushed in in the super bowl, but so did green bay and everyone else who played san fran in the playoffs. I'm not taking a first second or probably even third round center/guard unless hes a truly elite prospect. Like running back the value just isnt there. In fact im personally 5x more likely to go running back before guard, or center. The demand just isnt there to take them high. |
