ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate

Walker Little's situation is almost identical to Niang's. He was injured and then opted out. He's a prototypical Andy Reid LT and he'll likely be available at the end of the SECOND round.

I'm really thinking that an Okung/Reiff short deal plus Little at #63 is now my personal plan A.

Draft Little or Hudson and let them sit for a year.

Throw D’Ante Smith in there too as a day 2 option.

We’re going to need a center though. I’ll be interested to see if they sign someone or Veach goes with a rookie.

I dunno, it's irrational but opting out just sits kinda wrong with me.

It should get your attention when Pest isn't high on an Irish player, lol.

For someone that was so tuned in to the whole COVID thing, this seems an odd stance.

I'm also not a fan of sitting a 1st or 2nd round pick that isn't a QB. IF you're taking a guy that high, he needs to play or be able to play early.

He’s all floor with no ceiling. Will he be good from day one? In the right offense. He isn’t going to get a whole lot better, IMO.

What are you going to do, trade up into the teens and try to get a day 1 starter?

To do that, you'd have to trade next year's 1st most likely and then you have a 1st round pick that isn't sitting for a year, he simply never exists.

How is that better?

It's definitely not what I would have thought a while back.

I get why they would do it, it makes sense, just not a fan of it for some reason.

Well, if you can't mortgage your future to move up to pick a sure-fire day one LT in the top ten, then you are taking a high potential guy that might not be ready day one later.

It's kind of one or the other.

I know, read my last sentence. My point was if you're gonna fork over 2 firsts+ for Tunsil(which is what it'd likely cost) you might as well send that same amt for a rookie-who is projected to be the best LT in the league. Like I just said though, neither is happening.
