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]

The offense was completely fine when Remmers was at RT.
Penciling them in as starters is fine as long as we also improve our depth. The goal is to make sure we never have those 2 as our T’s again. As long as we do that, we’ll be alright. [Reply]
Idk that injuries are something you can be too predictive of when it comes to linemen. They all seem to get hurt at different times, especially how LDT did with guys falling on his legs.

Even iron man Schwartz couldn’t last forever.
Just get as many capable ones as you can.
Osemele tore both his knee ligaments running down the field. After his myriad of injury issues throughout his career, I think you can pretty confidently put him in the brokedick tier. [Reply]

Don't disagree. At all. But he's gonna be cheap. And if he's healthy, you can get a big surplus of value from him if he stays healthy. I'd also draft some guys in there, but you're gonna have to hit on something here. [Reply]

When I say sign him, I’m saying for the minimum.
Because if he does play, especially in the playoffs, the value is likely to be tremendous. [Reply]
I think a lot of times there's a physical ceiling with low picks and UDFA's. There are exceptions (small school, or poor coaching, etc.)
I think what we ran into is what happens when injuries plus the limitations of developing depth from low range talent combined.
We won't be signing high end FA's I don't think, but yes, some lower end vets will be necessary. Osemele, if he can play would be great. Remmers probably returns although I sincerely hope he's not starting.
And Niang you have to hope hits. and you're going to need to draft a couple.
And hope that maybe a Darryl Williams, or Prince Wanegho can play. [Reply]

Could you post the quote please?
Not necessarily the player.

Analysis: There should be one mission in Kansas City this off-season: Protect Patrick Mahomes.
Many will look at the Chiefs’ offensive line and assume that they’ll be fine if healthy in 2021, but a closer look tells you it’s unlikely they’ll be healthy. Or fine.
Eric Fisher tore his Achilles in the AFC Championship Game. He’s out a year. Minimum.
Mitchell Schwartz hurt his back in October and hasn’t practiced since. There were rumors throughout the playoff run that he could retire.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif opted out of the 2020 season and could return, but he was a rumored cap casualty before the season. He could be waived as the team moves into expensive years for Frank Clark, Chris Jones and Tyrann Mathieu.
The interior of this line was already patchwork, which was exposed in the Super Bowl as Mahomes ran for his life. General manager Brett Veach watched his star player take shot after shot on Sunday night. That lasting image will prompt him to secure the offensive line through the 2021 draft.
To start that process, finding a captain on the line and an anchor in the middle is gigantic. Landon Dickerson has the toughness, leadership, strength and technique to be trusted with creating the pocket for Mahomes to step up into. He’s a Day 1 starter who finds himself available this late only because a torn ACL suffered in the SEC Championship Game.
Dickerson would be slated for an early season return. Right in time to slide into the starting center spot.
