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 think it's entirely likely that at least 4 of the 5 guys that played this Super Bowl will not be starting in week 1.
I think we can assume LDT is probably starting, for example.
I think we can assume based on free agency projections Reiter won't be back.
I think it would be a mistake for Wylie to be in our starting 5.
It's possible they bring back Remmers to start at RT but that wasn't even the plan in 2020; I doubt that he's penciled in to start there in '21. He sure as hell isn't the plan at LT.
The only guy that MIGHT be penciled in is Alegretti. As a starter I mean.
I honestly don't know what to think about center. It seems inconceivable that Reiter gets paid enough that they don't want him back. Hudson was great and Morse was pretty good - you could see why they got the checks and why the Chiefs didn't want to foot that bill.
But if Reiter gets a fat contract and the Chiefs let him walk? In his case, it almost seems like exactly what they SHOULD do.
The problem then is that they almost HAVE to draft a center because signing somebody cheaper than Reiter means a downgrade from a guy that already wasn't great to begin with. [Reply]

I'm really interested in how the Justin Britt visit went. If he's healthy and good to go, that would seem to be a really good and cheap option for an upgrade.
I don't care what PFF says, Reiter is below average. [Reply]

I’d like to put a lynchpin at center. A top 100 pick or sign someone with serious talent.
I believe in the current NFL you need at least 3 really good OL.
Then you can cover up 1 mediocre and 1 below average guy. [Reply]
I honestly don't think Reiter is all that bad. He's certainly no pro bowler but I think he's a legit starting center in this league. He was about the one guy that didn't get totally embarrassed in the Super Bowl on the line.
Now I wouldn't pay him what the open market probably would. But I would welcome him back on the cheap. [Reply]
