Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate - Page 224

The more I think about all of these scenarios, I feel like Trading 31 for Orlando Brown is the best option.

He is much better than anyone we could get at 31. He doesnt require multiple picks to acquire. LT is in his blood, his father told him to never settle for being a RT. That is some serious motivation.

Chiefs showing him that they want him to protect their most valuable asset would also motivate him.

He is young, could solve the LT issue for years. He is experienced and proven.

Yes there is a different scheme to consider. Lamar is not that different than Patrick when in the pocket. He likes to extend the play and scramble around quite a bit so this isnt new to him.

The other options like sign an old vet draft a LT at 31 and let him sit for a year or so, does NOT help us now. NOW is very important.

Not liking the idea of trading future picks to move up in round one to get a Possible good LT either as we need to keep our draft capital since we are paying most of our studs at the top of the market.

The Ravens may not be willing to trade with us but they want a top 40 pick and we have a first rounder to offer.

If I'm trading for a LT and paying him, I would want one better than Brown. I think I'm out on that.

ZERO.

I don't care if they give up the next two years entire drafts for Jesus H. Christ himself, it ain't happenin'.

We're not rolling with two rookie OT's. It's not happening.

Don't do this to yourself.

Yep. Brown really isn't an option.

The Ravens aren't trading him to KC either.

Tackles just go so early fellas. I dunno. I might just stopgap it for a year and see what happens.

I'd send a few 1's to the Texans for Tunsil and be done with it.

Lots of bust tackles go early too. Trading away precious draft capital on a maybe just isn't good business.

Not really. Who was the last bust tackle that went early?

Doubt they're willing to trade Tunsil for anything less than or equal to what they paid for him.

OK but thats easy to say. Realistically, who are you thinking about?

Tunsil? Not avaiable first off and he would require a lot more than 31.

Dillard? Not known to be available and we dont know if he can really be a LT. Or what the compensation would be? Probably more than 31.

I get the concerns but if you really think about what is possible. I keep coming back to Brown.
