Grab a solid reserve OT like Josh Wells for a vet min deal or so that can respectably compete for either spot as a starter and be a quality swing reserve at minimum. Pick up a DT like maybe Watts on a vet min deal.
I think that puts you in a pretty solid area heading to the draft with no major holes.
I hear you, but I just feel like Nelson / Adam are such "meh" options for us as we head into Kelce and Reid's final stretches. Sure, we can do something next year too, but let's strike while the iron is hottest.
- KT's health is such a risk factor... banking on him playing all season is ballsy.
- MVS stepping up would be a necessity
- Skyy stepping up would be a necessity
- The Rookie understanding Reid's playbook and excelling out the gate would be needed
We would need 2 or 3 of the above 4 things to happen.
I feel like that's just playing too fast and loose with what should be a "go get it" opportunity. [Reply]
I never really poured over crap like this like some of you do, but at this point, I don't do it at all. Whatever happens happens. Veach is a masterful GM, and Andy and Mahomes will make any WR we sign better than he was in the past. In Veach, Andy and Mahomes I trust. I'm just going to sit back and watch and enjoy it. [Reply]
I think Veach takes a more risk free approach, gets a cheaper vet like Thielan and probably another draft pick, pray that Skyy Moore develops into a productive receiver. Hope one of those guys that were on IR last season (Ross) can do something and you also have to hope that Toney can stay healthy. [Reply]

See, I feel like that is the more risky path, and getting Hop or OBJ is the more risk-free approach. [Reply]

ya, I see your point.
The Chiefs did win a playoff game with only 3 receivers, so they might think they can put anyone out there and be ok. But we have Veach, I'm sure he has a plan to address it. Looking forward to finding out what that is. [Reply]

D-Hop is pricey and OBJ presents the most risk of any option (add in his supposed contract demands and he's expensive and risky). I'm not sure I see either as overly realistic. [Reply]

Fair point. I view it as a worthwhile investment, but I’m not Veach. [Reply]
