Post here. Pertinent free agent signings can still have their own thread. Anyone who replies with a Q, because something is buried in this thread should blah blah AIDS tree. [Reply]

I'll take a solid but unspectacular G/C over a useless fat fuck like Speaks. But in a perfect world we'd get a CB or LB in round 1 and an OL in 2 or 3. [Reply]

Apparently you don't know what positional value is, interior OL is about the lowest because lots of quality starters there are late round picks or even UDFA's. [Reply]

Because everyone knows that the offensive line has to be all first round picks. That’s how you win championships. I mean look at Dallas and all of their championships in the last 5 years. [Reply]

Definitely not, but relying on trash like Erving, Reiter, and Wiley got Mahomes banged the fuck up at times last year and gave us horrible run blocking. We need a talent infusion on the OL, and waiting until rounds 5 or 6 isn't doing the trick. [Reply]

Yea I’ve seen that and I do think he falls outside of the top 20, but I just don’t see him getting past those teams. They all need edge rushers and he’s a perfect fit for the Pats/Titans IMO. [Reply]
I don't think Epenesa gets to us, but if he does, you sprint to the podium to make that selection. He's a stud. I would be beyond thrilled to have him on the team. [Reply]
1st Overall pick in 2013 - Eric Fisher
200th overall pick in 2014 - LDT
2016th overall pick in 2019 - Allegretti (Depth)
You are a fool if you think the Chiefs can continue to get by doing this. Fisher and Schwartz are good, they have two years remaining on their contracts. I don't think you really want to be giving those guys big contracts after 2021. So you MUST start planning to rebuild the offensive line sooner rather than later. Those two our our best linemen by far. Face it, the rest are scrubs.
At a minimum you have to draft an offensive linemen in the first three rounds this year. I mean I really don't think there is a choice not to. And you better fucking hit on the pick. And then you are probably using earlier picks the following year to continue to build out the line. On top of all that you need to be looking at a free agent to come in and jump start the rebuild.
The Chiefs are not in a bad spot, they just have to realize that now is the time they have to start addressing the line. This is why I've always been of the mindset that they should draft an offensive linemen in rounds three or four every year. You start 5 of these guys every year, they are always getting dinged up. Free agents are expensive. Best to just build a pipeline. [Reply]
