Obviously, that’s all contingent on our FA approach, but I think the Chiefs need to be aggressive and get their target players, instead of runner-ups in the draft. I’ll take quality over quantity all day with our current roster.
After his pro day, Cosmi won't likely be there. He's pretty much solidified his spot as a top tackle.
And there's no need to trade up for a tackle if we get one in free agency. You don't just throw picks away like that. [Reply]

Most likely that will be the case now, which makes the pursuit of Williams even more intelligent. There’s some good OT prospects in the upcoming draft, but I’d rather see us protect the franchise with a proven, elite LT, with some of these OT’s stock rising for the upcoming draft. [Reply]
Walker Little sounds like the guy I want. Sounds like he has a really high ceiling. Is there any chance he will still be there for our 3rd round pick? [Reply]

Possibly, but probably not.
He'd be a great fit for a future LT.
IF we sign Williams though, it'd be premature to immediately draft his successor. Williams will be here for 3-4 years, and by the time he leaves you'd be at the end of Little's rookie contract.
Every week there is a former NFL offensive line coach, Paul Alexander, that Pat Kerwan and Jim Miller have on their show on Sirius NFL Channel on the radio. They were going through the OT's yesterday, and Alexander is very high on Radunz form North Dakota State. Incredibly smart, and already know all of the moves of nearly every NFL DE. Alexander said that puts him way ahead of the curve. Said his technique is very good as well. I thought it sounded like a guy we would be interested in. [Reply]
We should really just sticky this thread and get familiar with the top 6-7. We are almost certainly taking an LT in the first; we don’t have the luxury of BPA this year, and it’s an okay year to have this particular need. [Reply]

What are you going to do if they don't take an OT first? [Reply]
So, Mel had Walker Little to us at 31 a month ago. His pro day was nails.
I'm beginning to think if you gotta take a chance, do it on Little at 31 over doing it on some of the guys being talked about later on.
Will Little be there at 63? The more I think about his performance at his pro day, the less I do. Obviously concerns about 2 years of no football but the football tape is good and the pro day measurements are elite.

Is Mel off his rocker? Am I?
It’s a weird spot I’m that 31 is probably too high and 63 is too low.
Maybe a qb falls and someone wants to trade up for him [Reply]
