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 not sure she’d be widely accepted by a Midwest market. But I’m really not excited for riley reiff unless it’s as a stopgap. Doesn’t count against comp picks, but if we were going to sign him we could have already done it. [Reply]

He’s an okay guard but doesn’t have enough quickness to do the stunts and screens that Andy likes. He’s an ideal fit at C.
Here’s the scouting report on him from Terry Delp:
Allegreti deserves a chance to compete for an interior line position, but I think he’s gonna end up on the bench when it’s all said and done. He wasn’t good at all in pass protection last year. To earn a starting role he will need to grow significantly there. I mean that’s possible, but I’m not counting on it. [Reply]

From yesterday's NFL Now on @nflnetwork: The #49ers are making a strong push to keep LT Trent Williams from getting to the market. Williams made it clear he's interested in staying, though he wants fair value. pic.twitter.com/YAJxI90Ojz
It wouldn’t surprise me if the Andre Dillard rumor is true. Veach and Roseman go way back. They were together for so many years in Philly working hand-in-hand. These guys can easily talk business without getting caught; happens all the time in this league.
I don’t follow the Eagles so I assume Mailata did well replacing Dillard, but the Chiefs giving up a high pick (2nd rd?) for Dillard just makes too much sense. It seems Philly really feels his replacement is a good option for them and they need picks due to their cap problem.
Veach loves getting former first rd picks that he graded high in the past [Reply]
