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]

is equal or better at every spot than
Fisher-Allegretti-Reiter-Wylie-Remmers, which is what KC rolled with for most of this season. I would argue it's much improved at all 3 of the interior spots, basically the same at LT, and has upside to be MUCH better at RT (If Niange is as good as we think/the team thinks he is).
IF it's Reiff AND Rodney Hudson or David Andrews, it's MUCH improved at 2 of those spots from last season, Day 1.
I'd pair it with drafting Little or Hudson or Ealy (even if a small move-up is required). That player would be the swing tackle this year and start competing to start in 2022.
Oh, same. For sure.
I don't like where your college loyalties lie but, man, your posts are in the 99th percentile in quality. [Reply]

No way.
I was just using him as an example. Whoever they like at LT. If they think he's a franchise LT and gets to 10 or so, yeah trade up there for him. [Reply]

Sorry man. I think you've lost your mind over this.

You're taking a chance the rookie develops and can take that spot next year, but that's literally true of any position. And if he can't, you roll with Reiff again and maybe keep trying to develop his replacement.
It's not contingent on the rookie, the rookie is the possible pay-off.
If Fisher were 100% healthy, none of this is happening. A lateral move is not a bad thing here.
A 2 year stop gap is a band aid approach and relying on the 5th or 6th best prospect at their position, in the same draft doesn’t exactly equate to a sure fire prospect or a long term solution. It also pigeon holes us into taking a taking an OT early, instead of best available player. I get where you’re coming from, my point is, we had a sure thing at the position and could have possibly upgraded, now we don’t. [Reply]
