I don't understand using picks like that when the only way to get a really top notch prospect is to give up a haul and the guys you're getting with a reasonable trade up aren't really that much better than the guys at 31.
This just isn't the right draft to trade up for a LT. Its kind of like 2013 and looking for a QB.
I think it’s a strong possibility but at the same time Duncan Idaho made a great point: Veach is about expanding on Mahomes and helping him, so I could easily see tackle or WR. [Reply]

LT is too important of a spot as they've shown with how they fill it (first overall pick, highest paid player potentially etc).
So I don't think they'd pivot to Niang. Maybe they have to and it works out, but I dont' think that was ever the plan.
The way Reid talked yesterday, Veach is totally opportunistic. In other words, the “plan” wasn’t Trent Williams but when Veach saw a realistic chance to get one of the best tackles in the game, Williams BECAME the plan.
Andy said Veach never stops looking for upgrades period. Every position all the time, he’s always looking. [Reply]

Eh, thats fine to say. I dunno how much I believe Williams wasn't pretty heavily in the plans once Fisher went down as hard as they went after him. [Reply]

We don’t actually know how hard they tried. We know they gave him a contract offer. Williams never said how many times he talked to the Chiefs about counteroffers. He did talk profusely about how many times he talked to Shanahan. For all we know, Veach threw a big number at him even though Williams knew he was going back to San Francisco and there wasn’t all that much back and forth. [Reply]

Offering him the highest paid LT contract in history would be trying pretty hard I'd think.
But either way, no sense crying over it.
If they could get good LT play out of Niang, that would be huge. [Reply]

I think it’s going to depend on what type of CB they’re looking for. Do they want an outside CB or are they looking to move Snead outside and they’re looking for a NB. [Reply]
