These are way too many holes to fill for one draft.
Quit this "Robinson is our #2" shit. It's not a thing. There's nothing that would suggest that's true. [Reply]

There are varying degrees of trying. There's $16M a year multi year deal for Watkins trying, and then there's 1-yr barely less/more than what every other team is offering trying....
The WR FA class this year was hot garbage. The highlight player was Golladay, who's a nice player, but not an ace.

The idea is to have a vet and a young talented rookie. Just like RT with Remmers and Niang.
It just doesn't pencil cost wise though. Unless you can get one of those vets on a cheap 1 year deal, I wouldn't tie up 8 mil on a meh LT if I'm gonna spend an early pick on one.
If you're drafting a guy in round 1 or 2, start him. [Reply]

If they don’t sign a LT, then that means they either are eyeing a trade for a guy like Dillard or Brown, or they will be very aggressive in the draft.
Again, Andy Reid has never started a rookie at LT. If the plan is to sit at 31 and take one, I think they’ll also sign a vet. [Reply]

And they werent willing to pay more than they're worth, because again, that list of WR's is aids.
People are acting like we "missed out" on these guys. I don't see it that way at all. The Chiefs gave these B-C grade players a chance by offering them what they're worth (very little). They didn't take it, no harm no foul. The contract offers suggest that these guys weren't high priority FA's that they HAD to have. [Reply]
