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]

You are pushing the same narrative. He is doing it because of his agenda, trying to get more clicks and follows. What is yours? Being a dumbass? [Reply]

The Chiefs won 10 games without Schwartz and as much as it would've been nice to have him on the squad for all 19 games, the Chiefs went to the Super Bowl without him.
If the Chiefs land a nice receiver and capable Left Tackle, whether in the draft or Free Agency, there will be no doubt in my mind that the 2021 Chiefs are better "on paper" than the 2020 squad due to the huge upgrades in the interior offensive line.
And any productive receiver that can stay healthy for 17-20 games will be an automatic upgrade from Sammy Watkins.
DE is a problem area. Okafor sucked and Taco is not a starter. Need to fix that hopefully with a vet [Reply]

How is it a narrative? Comparing rosters and judging FA pickups is what people do. For example our good pal Staylor thought Dolphins were having a terrible free agency. Is that a narrative he was trying to push? Or just an opinion? [Reply]

As a player vs player comparison, Thuney is better at his job then Fisher is at his. That said, we still need another LT. We still have the draft and a possible Okung move. Prince Tego has a ton of talent too. [Reply]

Sure, it would be nice if they can either sign or draft a DE.
But the Tweet said the team wouldn't been better in Week 1, which is ridiculous, especially considering they had issues all last season with the DE opposite Clark.
Veach still has plenty of time in Free Agency, the upcoming draft (8 selections) while adding guys through waivers during and after Training Camp as well.
It was just a dumb, ill-informed tweet by a guy trying to drive traffic. [Reply]

Good thing we’re also focused on building depth and preparing for the possibility that guys get injured. [Reply]

If you’ll recall in the KC game, when they HAVE to throw, his play seems to drop off some. He’s not a pure drop back pass blocker. When guys can tee off, the lack of athleticism shows.
Best explanation I've seen yet... you can't drop him back 40 times a game, he's more masher than ballerina [Reply]
There's a lot of time and a lot of moves left to be made.
The Chiefs' line on opening day 2021 is going to have some questions about it, unless Veach has a big trade up his sleeve (always possible).
But who gives a fuck?
That line is going to be better at LG than it was throughout 2020. It's going to be no worse at C. It's going to be better at RG (with a lot more upside). At RT, at worst it's going to have a player who played well enough at RT to have a top 10 win rate as a run blocker and a pass blocker, both. If Niang beats out Remmers, it is going to be better at RT than it was for the stretch run of 2020.
So yes, LT is a question. They have to address it. They missed on the best available option to do so, but the other FA options are pretty slim. Upgrading beyond that plan A is going to come down to the draft pick they're able to make, or a trade they're able to make.
The timing of Fisher's injury put them in a tough spot. There's more than one way to respond to it.
People need to chill and see what happens in this second tier of FA. The Chiefs are positioned to take advantage of it. [Reply]
