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]

Like...haven’t you guys seen that glaring weakness against teams with balanced attacks? Spags saw Neimann as our best option in those sets.
Think about that for a moment.
Spags saw a complete liability as our best option for a set we use frequently and some of you don’t see that upgrade as a need worthy of the 31st or even our pick in the second.
I never said it wasn't a valued position. All positions have value. But some positions have MORE value than others, especially at the end of the 1st round.
LB is near the bottom of the list due to that circumstance alone. [Reply]

I don’t think Spags saw him as the best option. He saw him as the ONLY option. [Reply]

Watt, Lawson, Okwara, etc.
They’re likely going to sing somebody.
Some people are suggesting Justin Houston to make his return [Reply]

Which opens things up at OL and WR in the draft. [Reply]
