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]

No need to panic. Obviously we want more in the big games and in the playoffs and we will be adding more.
If we don't get Okung or Villanueva I expect us to circle back on the guys we cut as well as adding in the draft.
Their last two seasons have had times where their franchise star QB was laying on the ground with his kneecap on the side of his knee, his brain scrambled and wobbly and his toe fucked up.

They're not gonna mess around at LT.
And all three of those injuries were not because of the offensive line. [Reply]

Like that’s where championships are won! You’re contradicting yourself with the Rams things like I pointed out. You had no problem calling Veach’s first draft terrible, but you describe his last one as “pretty good” when it was fantastic.
Yes, you’re a ****ing idiot.
And you have the emotional maturity of a five year old. You can't even converse on here without throwing insults at those who have a difference of opinion.
I'm not pretending to know what will happen in Dec/Jan at all. I very clearly said that they'll still make the playoffs, and very well could return to the AFCCG and maybe the Super Bowl with some luck.
I personally don't think we'd be favored in a matchup with TB or possibly several NFC teams. But yes, I may be wrong. It's March. People make wild ass guesses and opinions all the time. If I'm wrong I'll be happy to admit I was wrong. [Reply]

Of course not. They just went hard after Trent Williams, added Thuney and Long.
They aren't done. I doubt Veach is content yet. [Reply]

The best place to find a franchise LT is about the same as a QB. Early in the first round. If it takes 2 firsts to go get one, do it and don't look back.
They're using to POSSIBLY fill a hole at LT. There are no guarantees and missing puts us in a much worse position.
The drop off from one tackle to the next isn't steep enough to justify spending an additional 1st rounder. It's arguably don't steep enough to justify a trade up at all.
This team needs draft picks. They're in a position now where they need cheap, quality depth. They can't keep trading away picks like they have been or they going to have massive holes all over the roster. [Reply]

The kneecap wasn't due to offensive line play. Neither was the head.
The toe was.
So let's not pretend the only reason Mahomes is getting hurt is because he's getting pounded because of a lack of protection. That's not the case. [Reply]
Guys I’m not pretending to know what’s going to happen based on March, but the Chiefs would be “lucky” to get back to the SB at this point and if they do I just don’t see any chance they beat the Bucs or the Rams! [Reply]

So in other words, you want Chiefsplanet to be an echo chamber where everything is completely in agreement with how you think. If not those who dare disagree with your fragile ego are fucking idiots.

Obviously, they won't do it for just any LT prospect. IF they do it, they think it's their guy.
They need good players. They need a good LT and as we have seen, those aren't easy to come by. [Reply]

That’s quite the spot to be in
There's no reason to be pigeon holed into anything. The Chiefs can take any number of players at 31 and be just fine. There's no reason for "fear" at all.
Trading major assets is the definition of "pigeon hole", not only this year but next year as well.
I'm not sure why people don't get that. Trading assets gives you LESS options, not more. [Reply]
