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]

Thankfully Sneed seems like a potential blue chipper which if so, is extremely valuable for a team that has their cap commitments already in order for the most part.
Thornhill might become that type of guy too. He was on track to be pretty special in 2019. [Reply]
If upgrading over those dudes is the bar absolutely we can get that.
I’m just saying, say, the de we take thetr isn’t likely to have the immediate impact of a guy taken in the top 5 or whatever. It’s ok, it’s just normal. [Reply]

Chris Jones is the 2nd best DT in the league and was a 2nd round pick.

I don’t disagree with that but to get where we wanna go next year, I don’t think we need that 1st rounder to be a pro bowler. Just be a solid starter, be available.
We got back to the Super Bowl with a bottom 10 OL, slow footed LBs eating up all the snaps, and a 4-man pass rush that was inconsistent at best. And there is reason to believe all of those things will be better next year while not suffering a drop off anywhere else.
Simply put, injury is the only thing stopping the Chiefs from accomplishing their goals in 2021. Unfortunately, they did stop them this year in conjunction with the OL opt outs. [Reply]
