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]

Um, if you draft a tackle, he's never been in the building. There's zero difference between Niang and a draftee in that regard, other than Niang is already on the roster and paid for. [Reply]
If our tackles come January are Fisher in his normal form and Niang, I think we will be just fine.
But obviously they have to add one or two other tackles to hold the fort possibly. A stopgap LT until Fisher is ready, and maybe a developmental option for the future. [Reply]

As long as Niang has been working out and getting better, which we know he has, he’s nothing more than a redshirt coming in as a rookie. There’s no reason to think he forgot how to play football. [Reply]

Nope. The only option is three offensive linemen in the first three rounds. That’s it. [Reply]

I'll give you the cliff notes version. Sign Kelce or Linsley in FA, trade up to draft a cornerstone T prospect, and figure out the rest when you determine if Fisher can play to his usual standard. [Reply]

So your solution is to rely on essentially 2 rookies? [Reply]
I mean shit. My plan was drafting a center/guard and a tackle in the first three rounds and finding a way to get Kelce. I don’t see Reid or Veach drafting 4-5 offensive linemen and even if they did....they all aren’t starting day one. [Reply]
