I don't think they should or will throw any high picks out but looking around the league, who do you guys think they could add that would help? [Reply]
I would think that LDT would be a piece in a player for player trade, if he waives his no trade clause. The only thing that makes sense of him being inactive every week is because they're actively trying to trade him. [Reply]

The Chiefs NEED a starting DE/rush end. They NEED a secondary WR who can play the X. They NEED a hybrid S/LB.
Upgrading at RB or RT are luxuries, and they likely will give Niang more time/opportunity at RT. Good time to look for a developmental tackle, though.
They have two young LB and will roll with them. At most, they're looking for a SLB to play in the base package.
Not everything has to be a draft pick. Many ways to acquire talent.
Fair enough.
I would say that DE and LB really are needs. Our front-7 is such a weakness.
Williams appears to be a decent stopgap at RB.
I think Hardman,Robinson, and Fortson showed that we have plenty of touches for another receiver. Hardman and Robinson aren't trustworthy enough, Fortson got hurt. :-):-)
I don't know where Gordon was yesterday.
Some people think that Niang lost his starting job because of play, not injury. It true, RT is a need. [Reply]

I agree. Sorenson does OK as the hybrid, but not as a starting S. Gordon needs more playing time IMO. While I'd like to see #63 back, I think we can roll with Bolton and Gay. We still have some options in house for that SLB. I'm not sure we have to upgrade at RT just yet. Niang may have been nicked up or maybe he just needs a little more seasoning. We did elevate the Prince to the active roster last week. Maybe that's where he should go. Williams did pretty well yesterday, we still have McKinnon and Gore. CEH will be back next year and Priests don't grow on trees you know. [Reply]
