Willie Gay isn't coming back.

Bolton does alot more than we see, so they'll keep him.

Said it in another thread. I wouldn’t be mad if Veach drafted a G like Graham Barton in the late 1st and locked up the interior long term.

I don’t like seeing Mahomes get knocked around

Ideally, Veach get’s creative with the cap and can keep Smith, Bolton, Hopkins, Brown, and Omenihu. There’s always a way. NFL contracts are flexible enough to dance around the cap. Signing bonuses, restructures, extensions, whatever…. 4-peat!

You can find good G's and Lb's in the 2nd/3rd/4th round.

I'm full on BPA early. We need to be looking to develop high end guys to take the mantle here.

Nah. No reason the spend a 1st rounder on a guard, especially with the holes this team has.

Yep... it's gotta be BPA through and through.

When you start chasing stuff, you run the risk of whiffing on some important picks and setting your roster back pretty dramatically.

This franchise has shown under Andy and Pat that they can chameleon to whatever they need to in order to win games.

If the BPA is a S, take him. If it's a G, fine.

But don't go shoehorning yourself.

They need splash players. Taking a guard in the 1st round would be counterproductive. Look where they got Smith.

Eh, I don't really care if it turns into a good high end player.

I'm fully on board with build the trenches, work back from there at this point.

There's still such a thing as positional value. They have to be cost effective with their picks. It's the only way to sustain a dynasty.

They just need someone who is actually gonna get on the field and make a difference.

No more FAU’s or Kingsley’s. Can’t have players providing nothing, especially year 1

Notice that you're talking about pass rushers and LTs. Not guards.

Taking guys that can't play is the quickest way to end a dynasty.

They swung at a DE and a LT and seems to have missed, jury still out.

That's fine. Positional wise, that's just the way they're gonna have to do things.

Yeah I'm starting to think chasing positional value even isn't worth the squeeze unless it's your BPA.

Puka Nacua is a high positional value, elite player taken in the fifth round. He looked really good in college. There's a guy like that every year at the WR, CB, or pass rusher positions. If not a few.

Creed and Bolton were not high value positions but I'd make those picks again every single time. Get really good players and let the coaches figure out how to win with them.
