I can’t even imagine trying to stop this offense on 3rd and short. The entire playbook is open.
We can run the ball now.
We’re always a threat to pass.
Mahomes will have more time to throw. Someone will get open.
Everyone is covered? Mahomes will pick it up with his legs. [Reply]
I love how people are talking about Brown like he’s having a bad camp when he just got beat a few times, most of which were against Chris Jones who looks like a DPOY candidate.

This place never ceases to amaze me.
His win rate last season in pass protection was almost the same as Fisher’s, but he was FAR better as a run blocker.
He’s also playing next to Thuney, who is a truly elite pass blocking guard.

Our DE is extremely lacking. I hope we add another guy via trade bc if Jones or Clark are out then this could get really fucking ugly
It's all okay because apparently Chris Jones is an unstoppable monster that no tackle in the league can have any hope of stopping. [Reply]

What kind of trade do you think is possible though? I’m not on board with any more trades for our 1st/2nd round picks. I get why we likely had to do it with Brown, but it’s not a sustainable model with the cap constraints we’ll be in most years. If there is a DE to be had for a 3rd or 4th? Sure, go for it if the opportunity presents itself. [Reply]

I get your point, and I won’t be surprised if Veach picks someone up after cuts.
The OL needed the attention that it got. We can win with a so-so pass rush. Mahomes wouldn’t survive behind that Super Bowl OL.
Unfortunately, our options this offseason were fairly limited. Guys like Kerrigan or Ingram wouldn’t make us feel any better than Okafor does.
You have to think that Veach must feel pretty comfortable with where we are though. He isn’t one to be passive with our needs.
It will be interesting to see how Boogie Basham looks for Buffalo though. We took Bolton a pick or two ahead of him. That’s a comparison to watch. [Reply]

Everson Griffen
He had the same sack production as Clark last year and would be dirt cheap.
I'm guessing why they went with Okafor is because he's more of a scheme fit. [Reply]

Hopefully an Emmanuel Ogbah trade. At this point I’d like a young vet like him with upside [Reply]
He'd have to agree to it bc of the no-trade clause, but that would be a win...
I wonder if LDT is in trade talks, out of practice today with no injury designation. Obviously he would have to waive his NTC. Giants just had two IOL retire, they could be a possible destination. A trade would create $2m in cap space this year.#Chiefs | #ChiefsKingdom
I've been burned before but I'm willing to risk it again...
Feel like DRob is too much of an afterthought to Chiefs' fans right now. Not as flashy as some other guys but when live reps happen, he's always the same player. https://t.co/egcXrl8Pxd
