In order to prevent us wasting precious years of Patrick Mahomes' career, Veach needs to work some magic this offseason. What's your advice for him? [Reply]

Did I miss something there? Did he have something off the field happen?
It’s odd that nobody picked him up.
After the Chiefs cut him he was signed and released by the Raiders and the Cowboys. He currently is on the Giants' squad. [Reply]
Does anyone think we could be aggressive and trade up to get a top edge rusher or OT? Hearing lots of talk that teams are wanting to trade down to stock up on future draft picks.

Is there anyone worth doing it for?
Only if one of the top guys falls. If everybody wants to trade down, that's a pretty good idea of where the value is in the draft. [Reply]
You know with the way Andy operates I can totally see them taking an OT at 31 and rolling with them at LT until Fisher gets back, then have them play at G when Fisher returns at the end of the season.
Then next season they can play at RT and have Niang at G if/when Fisher is extended. As Andy says, the best 5 will play. Hell you could also let Fisher walk depending on how both tackles look. That gives us a ton of flexibility.
Some of you guys are wanting ridiculous things like paying out the ass for a Trent Williams. I just don’t think they do that.
Best way to solve LT problem short term and long term is to replenish with youth and cheap labor. [Reply]

Which OT are you taking at #31 that’s going to step in day one and play LT in this offense? [Reply]
We already know that Sewell, Slater and Darrisaw will likely make up the top 20 picks. Then you’ve got Mayfield who is probably in that top 25 range.
Sam Cosmi is my favorite right now. 6’7”, very athletic, started 34 games w/ 13 at RT. He’d be great.
James Hudson has been getting a ton of love from everyone and people are now saying he can absolutely start at LT. Radunz is a very athletic tackle that has the length and versatility.
They could move up for Mayfield or Cosmi if they truly love them. Not a bad move considering the money you’d potentially free up from Schwartz and Fisher. [Reply]

Lot of great options for us to get someone then take a project later in the draft.
Hmmm... I don't think so.
Christian Barmore, Daviyon Nixon, and Levi Onwuzurike are all very intriguing prospects at DT and any or all could go in round 1.
This edge class is light years better than last year's class. None are as complete a player as Chase Young and Joey Bosa were the past two years but the next 5 or 6 are better prospects than we've seen equivocally in that same span. [Reply]
