Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=336980)

We have the stars and cornerstones on the team already and those need to come from the draft anyway. Supplement and fill some holes with value in FA.

A WR will be cheap now, A DE will be cheap too.

I may get to celebrate my Clowney fettish.

I’m hoping for Juju and Dunlap if we go that direction.

Stop trying to make Clowney happen. It's not going to happen.

I'd sign JuJu to a 1 year deal, sign Clowney, trade a 4th for Ertz.

Gotta find a C or a LT.

WTF BRANDT!?!? KEIZER AND NIEMANN!?!?

It absolutely was. We just ignored it because it didn't cost us games. But it was gonna cost us at 'some' point. And it ended up happening at the worst possible time.

Our O-Line was a shit show all season last year. We couldn't run the ball worth shit when we needed to. For ****s sake, Andy Reid had CHAD HENNE throwing passes with our season on the line on 4th and 1 because he KNEW our shit show O-Line couldn't pick up that one yard if they tried to run it. Credit to Andy. It was the right call (even if it didn't work) because we WOULD have been stuffed had we tried to run it.

Our running game SUCKED last year because our O-Line sucked. Mahomes, Hill, Kelce and Andy's play calling can only cover up that shit for so long. Most D-Coordinator's in the league are smart guys and will eventually figure out how to stop someone or at least slow them down. If we had an AVERAGE O-Line last year (free of injuries, of course) then we probably go 19-0. This team is THAT good. But our shitshow O-Line held them back and made a lot of blowouts close games because they couldn't create a proper pocket for Pat and couldn't make consistent holes for CEH to run through.

We needed a new O-Line in the worst possible ****ing way and if that means blowing up the entire thing from scratch and starting all over then you DO IT. It's not like it can get any worse. With Thuney, our run blocking should improve. So that'll help. But Fisher was average. Schwartz was shit all last year, including when he was still playing (probably the back injury we didn't know about at the time) and the interior was awful. The whole thing needed to be scrapped and Veach is doing it.

Major ****ing kudos to him for having the balls to do the right thing. Even if some people don't like it because the full 'plan' hasn't been unveiled yet. Give him time. It's day freaking one of free agency.

I swear some people think we're playing Week 1 this coming Sunday. LOTS of time till then. Be patient.

Excellent post. I admit I get a little impatient, but yes, the O-Line needs seriously addressed and seriously revamped. It just would have been nice to anchor down that LT spot, with a player that looks to be a future HOFer.

Allegretti was drafted to be a center and he got his feet wet at guard and got to see what an NFL OL needs to be. Will have an offseason to improve. Or they get Hudson/Andrews in the middle if they don't think Allegretti can cut it.
LT - Thuney - Allegretti/FA - LDT - Niang. That's 80% of a damn good line.
The performance at LT last year isn't that hard to replace. Big Fish was hurt half the time and the rest of the time it was a backup. Don't act like you have to replace Willie Roaf, it's closer to replacing Remmers.
