His value couldn't possibly be higher right now, we need the cap space to retain Ford, Hill, and possibly make a free agency splash.
Teams might be wavering due to his injury, so just take a pick in 2020 conditional on his health. I bet you can get a 2nd for him.
Guys, I'm telling you, you're going to need the flexibility the LDT pick would give you to move up in the 1st round for a corner or an Allen Bailey replacement or something of that nature.
Andrew Wylie kept Mahomes clean, and has been a road grader in the run game.
I love LDT but this team needs capspace and they need it now. Why wouldn't you use the least important position on the offense to make some? [Reply]

Exactly. I am hoping Veach drafts an OL with one of the picks in the first 2 rounds.
There is nothing to take for granted in regards to this OL. Veach should look to improve it as much as possible for the foreseeable future. [Reply]

Why? I think our OL is in great shape.
Tackles: Schwartz and Fisher are both here for at least 2 more years. Cam Erving is an emergency swing tackle.
Guards: LDT is a top 10 G on a very friendly contract. Erving has looked solid aside from playing a generational DT. Wylie has been excellent as a backup and can be kept next year for cheap.
Center: Morse is probably gone, but Reiter has been a very good backup and can be kept for a cheap price next year. McKenzie is built like a C and the team is extremely high on him.
Could also keep Jeff Allen next year at a low price. He was very good here in his last season.
I don’t think we need to prioritize OL before rd 3. [Reply]

I don't know if you need to invest one of our 1st or 2nd rounders on the Oline, but I do think you need to be looking in the middle rounds for some developmental guys.
We have Wylie cheap for a couple years, which is a luxury, but I've never heard of McKenzie being developed as a center. Which is why I think you look for an OT or Center starting in the 3rd or 4th. [Reply]

I agree with everything you posted.
I wouldn’t mind a 3rd rd OL. Think our 1st and 2nd rd picks need to be on the field right away. [Reply]
