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]

I'm pretty big on Jenkins, not only is he massive and chippy, but extremely athletic for his size as well... he also has the strength to hold up day 1
Now we've got two guys with big upside battling it out...
You'd likely have to take Jenkins at #31, if not earlier. [Reply]

That's a ridiculously hefty price to pay for a "chance".
Yeah and taking a chance with Okung and a later round rookie isn't a bigger chance? [Reply]

That same chance exists with any number of guys you pick at #31. It's a slightly lesser chance but it comes without any risk of screwing you fro more than 1 year as opposed to two or more. [Reply]

That's fine. If we can get a good day 1 LT at 31, then yeah stay in the slot keep your picks and get him there. If we need to trade up for him, then we should do that too. [Reply]
Hindsight is 20/20 but going after Trent Williams set this team back. We could have used that time and money on other positions of need like DE and WR. [Reply]

They tried getting a WR yesterday. Today they scheduled a visit with a good DE [Reply]

If it's a few spots, sure.
But there's no way they should trade a future 1st rounder to get into the top 12-14 picks. No way at all. [Reply]

OK, then what is your plan if Okung, Villanueva are signed elsewhere, Dillard is not an option. We are setting there and your options are Eichenberg, Radunz, Hudson, etc? Then what are you going to do? [Reply]

They should. This is the 2nd or 3rd most important position in football and he will be the biggest protector for the best player in football. If they believe in someone, they absolutely should give up next year's 1st to get him. [Reply]

This I totally agree with because it was a battle we weren't going to win. It is why he was vacationing in Mexico - he knew he was going to get "paid". [Reply]

At 31? Take Radunz or Eichenberg. It’s not the greatest plan and there would be growing pains but you’d be at least ok for the most part. [Reply]
