We simply have no idea what they intend to do. Did you see them signing Reed at this time yesterday, considering the need at DE over DT?
Definitely not.
But them going hard after T. Williams means they seem to think the same as we do about LT.
Middlekauf is pretty plugged in with Veach and Reid. On his last pod talked like the Chiefs were pretty enamored with this LT class. [Reply]

They went after Williams because they wanted Williams. Obviously LT is a position of need but notice that after Williams, they've pursued basically nobody.
Of course they're enamored with this LT class, everybody is. That doesn't mean they're enamored with same specific players we are.
This entire offseason has been Veach zagging when most people expected him to zig. At this point, I almost expect there to be a mixture of surprise and dismay on draft day. [Reply]

Because he isn’t very good, Sewell is a generational LT prospect and Williams has been hurt 3 times in his 2 year career, two of them being on IR [Reply]

They've pursued no one because there isn't anyone else to pursue. Okung is hurt all the time and isn't dependable. He's fine for a emergency only type thing, but other than that, there isn't shit out there.
So, yeah, they're pretty much locked in to take a LT early in the draft. [Reply]

What other options are there, at this point? I've been looking.

Totally agree, actually, which is why maybe you set yourself up so that's not what you have to do.
But the need to protect Mahomes' blind side trumps our need to adhere strictly to the value/need balance. The need is simply too severe at this point. [Reply]

Nate Taylor has stressed that Niang will be given every opportunity to win RT, but that Remmers will be the incumbent there.
Just FYI
It's going to be Niang at RT. If anybody is flipping to LT from that combo, it's Remmers.
Which, so help me god, htismaqe. So help me god. [Reply]

I guess I missed where you are an NFL personnel man and actually know who is and isn't available.

I absolutely disagree and that's the last I'm going to say on the subject. The upside here is that if the Chiefs take a tackle in the draft, I'm good.
If they don't, you guys are going to lose your shit. Don't say I didn't warn you. [Reply]

I don't need you to warn me that I'm going to be upset if the Chiefs enter Week One with Remmers at tackle. Buuuuuuuut thanks [Reply]
