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]

I’m with Pest on our needs. C, DE and WR have to be addressed, though with Sammy likely coming back and a quality prospect in Callaway being signed as a possible Robinson replacement, they might hold off on a receiver until later.
We already got a tackle from a deep class last year and they appear to be really excited by Niang’s potential, so I don’t see them drafting a tackle unless they legitimately see one at 31 that could be a capable starting LT.
With this class it could be a possibility. Not likely, but possible.
We desperately need a badass at C though. That helps protect Patrick from A gap pressure and also helps us run the ball better with Clyde. Remember all those times we struggled with 3rd and short? A badass C goes a long way to fixing that problem, which we saw with Morse.
Get Britt and Osemele on the practice squad in case last year happens again. That’s about the best contingency plan you can make. [Reply]
They aren’t starting Niang and another rookie at the T spots, and I think Niang starting at RT is very likely.
And yea, Reid has started rookies on the OL a couple times, but he’s never started a rookie at LT. If you think he’s going to start 2 as his bookends, you’re out of your mind. [Reply]

I don't think it's very likely.
I think them drafting a center is more likely than drafting a tackle.
For better or worse, I think they're going to commit to Fisher. [Reply]

We need them to give Fisher ALL the stem cells. [Reply]
After pretty-much the worst loss in SB history, it's going to be a very long offseason.
Clearly the OL has to be the #1 topic to get right and have depth, let's hope the Chiefs agree. Next, if they do agree, how much will they gamble on not "going crazy in the FA market and the draft" and count on Fish coming back, and dealing with the two opt-out O-linemen. All of those things are a gamble, but we'll see. [Reply]

They don't need a badass C in the first round as we are drafting one in the 3rd with Quinn Meinerz.
