They'll be active in the draft for sure.

But not "early and often" necessarily. They're going to sign somebody really soon that will be a starter.

I doubt it's Williams.

I still think they flip 31 for an established LT and extend him.

Niang At Rt tackle will get them younger.. Williams will buy them a couple of years to draft his replacement..

They aren't making this move without someone or sometihng lined up.

No shit. Straight up ruthless.

Reiff wouldn’t be a bad option either.

Hitchens is next unless he restructures is my guess.

Chiefs are big on their guy Lucas Niang, who they drafted last year.

Moves save $18m+ and really only need to find one replacement since the other is in house.

I tend to agree.

If the Chiefs draft Dillon Radunz & Quinn Meinerz along with signing Corey Linsley & either Williams or Reiff...I'd be happy.

Veach is doing to the offensive line what he did to the defense in 2019.

Yeah, it makes one uneasy, but its the right decision to tear down the line group and rebuild.

And he would be an amazing signing. He’s 33 this year but keep in mind Andrew Whitworth was playing damn good football at 38.

Once they get to age 30, all bets are off. Fisher & Schwartz were studs until suddenly it all went to hell in a heartbeat.

I’m cool with Niang at RT but I want something very sure at LT.

This is an easy no brainer. Veach is all over it.

Not happening. They take the hit this year and can release next year. Next year and forever, we are also going to have cap issues.

I think somebody like Williams increases the chances of a higher pick at OT.

I think if you get Linsley and Reiff, for example, you're going to see those OL picks slide further back since those guys are younger.

It's all going to depend on who they sign.
