KC is in a tough spot to grab a LT. Unless a Mims or Guyton slide, they will likely have to grab someone from the next tier of players. There will likely be "safer" WR's available.

Yeah, I kinda look at it not as much in the numbers but the amount. There's gonna be 4/5 go, but looking at the list, if the guy isn't an elite prospect, the difference in the first and the 5th isn't a huge gap in terms of success.
So we need to evaluate it well for what we're looking for and go that way. |

I think the fanbase is so caught up on the need at WR that we understate the importance of an LT. It's one of the most critical positions on the team and one of the most difficult to adequately fill, especially long-term. I fully support a move-up for an LT all day over worrying about WRs. I would not be exaggerating if I said that I don't care if Veach waits until round 3 to address WR if it means getting an LT.
Now, that doesn't mean I support reaching or chancing it on an LT if we stay at 32 and bypass better talent at another position, which is likely to be WR or CB in this draft. |

So either trade up or trade down at #32 is the best way to go.

what are we doing at LT? Are we counting on a rookie at 32 to protect Pat?
