Of course they're enamored with this LT class, everybody is. That doesn't mean they're enamored with same specific players we are.
This entire offseason has been Veach zagging when most people expected him to zig. At this point, I almost expect there to be a mixture of surprise and dismay on draft day.
They've pursued no one because there isn't anyone else to pursue. Okung is hurt all the time and isn't dependable. He's fine for a emergency only type thing, but other than that, there isn't shit out there.
So, yeah, they're pretty much locked in to take a LT early in the draft. [Reply]

We simply have no idea what they intend to do. Did you see them signing Reed at this time yesterday, considering the need at DE over DT?
Nate Taylor has stressed that Niang will be given every opportunity to win RT, but that Remmers will be the incumbent there.
Just FYI
It's going to be Niang at RT. If anybody is flipping to LT from that combo, it's Remmers.
Which, so help me god, htismaqe. So help me god. [Reply]

Because he isn’t very good, Sewell is a generational LT prospect and Williams has been hurt 3 times in his 2 year career, two of them being on IR [Reply]

I can’t get over this. This is the kind of guy that Veach loves.
I think Leatherwood is my darkhorse Chiefs pick if there’s a run on T’s like some are concerned about.
I always felt like he wasn’t a scheme fit, or he might have to play G, but he’s exactly what they’re looking for physically. [Reply]
