Mel Kipers been selling this for months now. But many Have Latham graded higher than Alt. But I agree why take a RT that high.

Yeah, fuck all that. Donovan Smith wasn't very good at all down the stretch and couldn't even play for over a month.

Not to mention he was one of the worst players in a Chiefs uniform during Super Bowl 58. Got his ass beaten like a drum by fucking Chase Young.

I don't think the Rice situation will alter Veach's draft approach. The last time KC knee-jerk reacted to a WR in legal trouble, we ended up with Hardman.

Not to mention Thuney being a potential cap casualty. The Chiefs save 16 million cutting him next offseason.

We have the 2nd rounder from the Sneed trade. Thatll get us a G. We will sign Creed. Let Smith walk and draft his replacement.

Theyll sign Bolton. I dont see him getting big money in FA.

Which pays for Bolton.

Okay. So you're replacing LT, LG, and RG in one offseason. After paying Creed 20+ million.

That's fucking insanity.

What 2nd round pick is that?

I’m expecting an IOL in the mid rounds this year to potentially start next year.

I’d be surprised if it didn’t happen.

Even so. That's 3 new starters in front of Mahomes.

Oh I see. You’re saying that under the assumption we don’t find a LT in this draft.

Yeah, that would be troubling.

If we have to pick between a LT and BTJ, LT is the right pick (depending on the player obviously). This place will get ugly though.

They've had to remake the WR group on the fly at times. It happens.

If those interior OL are all wanting to be paid that much....yeah, some are getting replaced.

Chiefs trade up for Amarius Mims (T)

Shout out to Dante for these threads he does for us every year! I know it must take a lot of time and energy to do it all. :-)

Thank you!
