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]

I’m taking about a quality starting LT. One you can plug in day one to play while Fisher is hurt and be good long term. That ain’t Smith or quite a few of those guys.
There will likely be a run on LT’s early due to the top 3 or 4 elite prospects but guys like Cosmi who could be top 20 picks in a regular year?
There’s a guy like that at 31 then there’s a very high probability that they are the BPA
So you believe a guy like Cosmi could make it to 31, but you don’t think Little or Hudson can make it to 63?
Dude, one of those things is MUCH more likely than the other and not the one you think.... [Reply]

If both Fisher and Schwartz are coming back, there's zero reason to spend a first round pick on a guy that's going to play for a couple of months and then sit on the bench, especially since he'd likely end up getting moved to RT after Schwartz is gone anyway.
That's just not a good use of resources. You're letting the Super Bowl debacle cloud your judgement.
Now, if Schwartz or Fisher are not coming back, then a 1st round OT makes a lot more sense. [Reply]

Titans do not necessarily expect a lot in return for first-round offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson in any potential trade, according to league sources. Most anticipated late-round draft pick, if anything develops

I’d be down with that as long as it’s not a day 2 pick.
Yeah, it was all off the field.
And we're talking about him going from Mike Vrabel to Andy Reid. It could work, it absolutely could. [Reply]

If it's only gonna cost a 7th or so then why not I guess but too much more for a guy that couldn't be bothered to block for Derrick Henry says alot. [Reply]

If there is a good quality LT that you think can be the answer long term then you take them. That’s the definition of BPA considering we wouldn’t be reaching for need since Fisher and Schwartz will be back at some point. Good LT’s are hard to find. There aren’t many of them. They also go quickly in the draft and get our massive salaries in FA, so a year where one might be available late in the first td would be amazing for us.
As for this next season, you play the kid at LT and when Fish comes back you put them inside at LG. It’s Allegretti and Wylie at that spot currently. That’s not a difficult decision. As Andy says “okay the 5 best guys”.
A cheap quality LT changes everything. One of the highest paid players on your team is now cheap for 5 years while you have the highest paid player in the league. They could also dump Clark after this year and have a ton of money free for reloading the roster.
Again, they need to determine that one of those prospects is worthy but considering this class it’s very possible. [Reply]
