Rickey says it’s LT

[Dante84]

For whatever that’s worth.

Draft intel
Jayden is the pick at 2
Patriots will be taking Maye or JJ (sounds like Maye and can only see them moving if they could guarantee they get one of them)
Chiefs taking LT in R1
AD Mitchell has been removed from many team's boards
Cowboys going RB in R2

It's for sure OT in my mind.

[Dunerdr]

Give me a lt prospect in round 1 and Ricky pearsall and I’ll blow my load.

I've made my final decision and I agree. It has to be OT. This team is a dynasty that runs on Patrick Mahomes. As much as I've wanted to believe that Patrick could compensate for some OL problems, we just can't afford to risk the one unquestionable thing that makes the Chiefs great. We have to draft OT first. This seems like such a no-brainer that I don't understand why I didn't see it this way before. OT first and let the rest of the chips fall where they may.

I always thought he was a giant asshole for never letting Lucy be in the show.

So she can't sing? Just give her a bit part or something and make her shut up, man. She's your ****ing wife. It's not like anybody's going to get mad at you.

If he knows it's a LT, it's because they know they're going up to get their guy.

Teams who I could see movin’ on up tomorrow (check back for accuracy after the fact):

Vikings, Broncos, Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Jaguars, Colts, Patriots (back into end of first round for a WR), Bills, Texans

I think there's a pretty good chance Rickey is a guy in the league office.

And have no earthly idea at all how that would give him insight into anything these teams have going on within their draft boards.

If it were that easy, NOLA and Houston wouldn't have been caught with their dicks in their hands in 2017 and the Buffalo Bills wouldn't be dealing with the waste of space that is Kaiir Elam.

Not buying it. This kind of wholesale knowledge ain't out there for some dude to get. Now he may be right that the Chiefs are going after an OT - but I'm not convinced he has any more knowledge than any of the rest of us do in that regard. It's an obvious need and we have an aggressive GM.

The rest is just jerking himself off.

Precisely. Anyone with a pulse on the Chiefs knows we need a LT. It's not some big secret being kept. We all fully expect that Veach will address that before WR if the opportunity is there to actually get a LT he likes.

If an elite LT prospect isn't there but there is the opportunity to get an elite playmaker, I don't foresee Veach passing only to stay put and draft a guy like Suamataia. I just don't think Veach is wired that way.

There’s no way we’d be bold enough to go get John Alt’s son at #7, right? Clark giving Veach the green light for nostalgia reasons?

That cost would be so, so much.

I kind of think he's in an agents office. One of the big agents who has players on every team that would be plugged in.

Veach himself could only be 60% confident in landing a tackle. Rickey has been batting .800 throughout free agency. But the draft is a different ball game. Especially when the team is slated at 32.

I do think it’s more likely we end up with a tackle over a receiver. But nobody knows shit. See Will Levis or the million other examples

Why? Seems like Paul will be there at the #32 and I'd argue he's worth the pick ahead of the 2nd. Also Guyton, Kiran, and Kingsley are probably available around #32... a top half of the 2nd OT is less likely to bust than a WR.

Why would Mitchel be coming off teams boards? ...that statement requires explanation.

I know people who do ratings off of analytics hate Mitchell, but that shouldn't remove him from boards.

I would have slapped myself a week and a half ago but I'm coming around on Paul.

Patrick Paul is still a developmental pick, odds are he's not ready right away.

Guyton is the only one of those that is even worth discussing at 32 and even I think that's a stretch...
