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?

Hair Helmet has us taking Little at #31 in his first mock draft, FWIW.

Seriously, you haven't noticed that?

It's mostly just the veteran brokedicks I didn't want.

I don’t want to go into next season reading articles saying “Little was their guy but they thought they could get him later. They settled on “X”.”

Yep.

Just take him and be done with it. Value is great, but if he's your LT, those extra couple slots won't matter.

there are always salary dumps later in the offseason. Why would this year be less so?

Teams have already dumped the biggest salaries they can. I doubt theres any more big ones, but there usually are a few so who knows.

Right. He hasn't played a full season since 2013. He's incredibly talented, yes, but also a brokedick.

Well, you don't like my opinion on Rashawn Slater and I don't like your opinion of Trent Williams. So we're even.

That's fine, but Trent Williams failing to play a full 16 game season since 2013 isn't an opinion.

He missed 6 games because of a knee injury and he had cancer. Other than that, he hasn't missed a significant chuck of any one season and played most of the 2012 season with a foot injury that would have sidelined a lot of people.

I don't think that qualifies him as a brokedick.

It's not like he's had 3 back injuries and 2 knee surgeries like Dee Ford or 7 different repair surgeries like Kyle Long.

That's nice. Still hasn't managed a full 16 game season since 2013 and with our championship aspirations we're hopefully playing at least 20.

And Rashawn Slater struggles with lengthy athletic DE's, plus many scouts think he's a projected IOL.

See how that works?

Chiefs need a nice #2 WR. Not much left out on the market at this point.

Ty maybe the best option left in FA.

Of course, there's still Odell.....

Not really sure where to put this. Maybe this kid falls.

Alabama WR DeVonta Smith said he weighs 170 pounds.

He’s tiny. He’s smaller than De’Anthony Thomas :-)
