I love CEH, but thought drafting him at 32 was a complete luxury. And I find it odd that all the draft experts here who say we can't draft an offensive lineman at the end of the first round all seemed giddy drafting a running back last year.
Look, I trust Veach to do what's right, but with a pretty decent talent group at OT, it just seems like it makes a ton of sense to look that way considering the status of both out tackles.
The Chiefs wouldn't have been 14-2 this year with Darrel Williams, Darwin Award Thompson and DeAndre Washington and it's absolutely foolish to think otherwise. [Reply]

I've said this before and I'll say it again
PATRICK MAHOMES II WANTED CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE THERE SHOULD BE NO MORE DISCUSSION OF THE MATTER OF PICKING ANYONE ELSE
WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE FUCKING SUPER BOWL
THERE WAS NO BETTER PICK WE COULD HAVE HAD BECAUSE PATRICK MAHOMES II WANTED HIM. [Reply]

We literally took Niang in the third. The FO views him as part of the future at OT.
How many tackles did you want them to draft? [Reply]

That's not the point I'm making.
I think you still draft a RB, just not at 32.
Look, I'd glad to have him. Can't wait to see what he does next year. [Reply]

As can most positions outside of QB and Edge.
Clyde had the 19th most rushing yards this season in 13 games. Hell, he was #3 on the Chiefs in scrimmage yards per game. [Reply]

Well you start two, and Niang (who didn't play this year and had little to no contact with the team) is a HUGE question mark. No matter how you slice it, you need a starter. I'm not going to buy this Remmers at LT BS because if he goes down then what? Chiefs are too good of a team to go into the season with Remmers and a bunch of question marks.
At this point I'd just move on from both Fisher and Schwartz, the next shoe to drop will be if Veach spends money in free agency and if so, on what position. [Reply]
