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]

Whether they can trade up or not is all depending on cost
I never said he would. I actually even said that they will take one somewhere in the first 2 rounds for sure.
Again, keep up.
There are several teams picking in the early 20’s that need a T. Just because you want a T and are willing to trade up doesn’t mean that it’s going to be easy or even possible.
That’s why you add a guy like Okung, so you don’t force yourself into doing it in round 1. It gives the flexibility to get one in round 2 in a class that is extremely deep. You can even trade up in round 2 as well. [Reply]
What the fuck are you even talking about? Feel better about what exactly? This is what happens when you jump into the middle of a discussion and you don’t have a fucking clue.
I’m talking about the attitude of “trade up for a LT or bust”. These kinds of decisions aren’t made like that, and if they are it’s poor decision making. [Reply]

I’m not saying that he won’t trade up, or that he won’t try to, I’m saying he’s not going to do it out of panic or desperation like some are implying we should. Nor should he.
If he goes into the draft with no current plan at LT, then yes it does become desperation to some extent.
Right now, who's playing LT on this football team?
Tega Winnebago? Fuck no. The kid can't get off the PS on any team but he's going to suddenly become a starter? How about he just makes the team first.
Remmers? Solid RT, not so much a LT.
Niang? Don't rightly know. He's always been a RT, and looks like a good one.
Thuney? I don't think you want him out there on the regular. He can handle it in a pinch, same as Remmers, but not long term.
What the **** are you even talking about? Feel better about what exactly? This is what happens when you jump into the middle of a discussion and you don’t have a ****ing clue.
Whoever they trade up for he’s gonna say it’s his guy or whatever
They aren’t gonna say “we didn’t have a LT and had to have one” after wards.
So semantics
If they love a guy, go get him. Yeah can fill in the missing picks with later rounders and LT is more important than another lber or safety for t whatever [Reply]

Do you honestly not see the difference here? JFC.
Which is exactly why he's not going to draft guys like Teven Jenkins, Alex Leatherwood, or Liam Eichenberg and nobody is really suggesting he does. They don't fit as LTs on this football team. Jenkins at RT, sure. Leatherwood at OG, sure.
Desperate and selective can walk hand-in-hand.
Right now, things are becoming more desperate than they looked a few weeks back. [Reply]
2-3 of the top T’s should already be gone. Just because you want to trade up for a guy like Cosmi, doesn’t mean you will able to. This isn’t Madden. You can’t just make a trade because you want to. It doesn’t work like that. [Reply]
