I think we can get a DE in the 3rd or 4th round and be okay.

LT is just going to depend on what they do. I’d be just fine with taking Cosmi and signing Okung to start out the year.

No, I don't believe it is. That's my issue with it.

This class has depth at LT and DE.

So no, I don’t think we’re in that much of a “tough spot”.

He's far better than those guys, with an All Pro ceiling.

Let's not forget, we are not in a vacuum here. We have the league's best QB to protect.

Veach was willing to sell Arrowhead Stadium to land Trent Williams.

We'll see if he feels the same way in the Draft.

And the Virginia Tech offense that he came from doesn’t worry you?

If we pass on tackles in the first 50 picks then I’ll worry bc you’re looking at the projects who have no business starting at LT this year and Okung will get hurt.

They need to get back to Ingram after the draft and try to get him for a fair deal

Yeah there's for sure depth. But depth doesn't always mean "elite". If you're looking for an elite DE or elite LT, usually, you're gonna have to spend a pretty hefty pick for that guy. Not always.

The more I read about this class, I'm just not sure about the LT depth. There very well could be, but I'm not sure once you get past the top 3 or 4 that it doesn't thin out.

With how they run the DL rotations here, I'm more optimistic on getting a DE who can play well there. But with the way Andy leaves the T's on islands, I'm not sure you can go with the guys available in the later picks like we may have to and be ok for a while.

My #1 dark horse is probably Leatherwood.

I think the Chiefs are going to love the measurables.

I don't really want anything to do with Okung. He's just too injury prone for me. If you're taking one at 31, put him next to Thuney, give him some help blocking wise for a while and bring him along slowly. Don't just put him on the island and make him sink or swim.

I'm just not sure...what position do you play him at? LT?

Well yea when I say depth that doesn’t mean you can get a LT on day 3.

But you can get guys like Forsythe, Little, Brown, Ball etc. on day 2.

Also, I don’t think we need “elite”. We just need good players at those positions.

Yea. He’s one of the only fringe round 1 guys that have the measurables that they typically look for at T.

I mean he’s a rare specimen physically. Just look at this:
