So this may help us with our search for an impact DL in the 1st round.
Great point.
If this allows Wyatt to fall into our lap, that’s a huge win. [Reply]

Imagine being a Raiders fan and thinking that McDaniels and Carr are going to get you through Mahomes, Herbert and Wilson because you added a 30 yr old receiver and a 32 yr old DE.
Like I said, in a lot of ways this is actually pretty funny. [Reply]

Maybe he does. We shall see.
I’m not sure I agree with you. He’s aggressive - yes - but with the exception of the Trent Williams situation, I haven’t gotten the sense this is a guy at some live auction who isn’t putting his paddle down. And arguably as this team has evolved with the Mahomes contract coming into focus he’s been forced to sharpen his sword and be more tactical.
I think we can say that Veach - whatever his flaws - always seems to have some logical process in his plan. Whether it works out in the end or not is another question, but there’s at least some framework behind it. [Reply]

They ALL have to deal with each other and us.
And they ALL have to deal with the expectations now too.
I know which team is more prepared mentally. [Reply]
Veach is going kill this draft, we have 9 picks. No reason to overpay for players who won't give a crap once they sign on the dotted line. Stay patient my friends.
I would very much like to see Ingram return, however. After that I don't care. [Reply]

That’s exactly how Watkins and Mathieu went. Hitchens in all probably as well as Thuney.
He has never been a ‘find the bargains in the middle tier of FA’ guy as much as a stars and scraps guy.
The former is a plenty viable approach when you have the cap space. We won’t for the foreseeable future so it’s the latter or bust going forward. [Reply]

You been real impressed with these guys mental approach the last couple of years?
From skating through the 20 regular season to Hill admitting after the Buffalo game “we thought we was the shit” and they needed to be taken down a peg.
Focus hasn’t exactly been a strength the last little bit.
They need to recapture their ‘19 ferocity in a big way. [Reply]

It hasn’t been perfect, but I don’t think these teams in the AFCW are anywhere close.
Maybe all the hype for everybody else over the next few months will get that ferocity back. [Reply]

Tag/trade may be a realistic alternative at this point.
I’d hate it, but it takes two to get a deal done. And even if we can get one done, this may well do a lot to punch Jones ticket out of town next year [Reply]
Chiefs have a HOF coach, HOF QB, HOF WR, HOF TE, top 10 OL, top 5 interior rusher, very good young duo of LB’s and a very good young Safety. Pair that with a couple of young decent complimentary DB’s.
And we have the draft and some money to get a couple decent players left.

Why are we scared again?
Because people don’t have patience.
I have no doubt that we will feel much better about the offseason going into and after the draft. [Reply]

Few are ‘scared’
But “iron sharpens iron” is bullshit. The Patriots won BECAUSE they had a cakewalk in the division.
Things have gotten exponentially harder and even if you still consider us the favorite, ‘the field’ has become a MUCH better bet than it was a week ago. [Reply]
