patrick has now had three pretty bad lower body injuries and played through all three, you'd like to stop the accumulation of issues there before something really bad happens

thank god nothing has gone wrong with his upper body

Mahomes style of play brings that upon himself though. It’s a double-edged sword

Another reason to get the best OL you can!

Tunsil and a 7th, which Veach will use to draft a small school EDGE guy nobody’s heard of who will end his career as the all-time NFL sack leader.

Maybe Veach is planning on Tunsil playing both ways as a LT AND DT so that the money works better

No way Veach is still chasing Tunsil. we've got our LT at this point, and our RT in Niang. I think he'll draft a OT prospect (wright?), maybe sign a vet journeyman OT, and Andy will roll with that. No sense wasting more resources for another $20M/yr OT.

He got banged up scrambling because he didn't have an open receiver, not because of his OL.

When you watch the All-22 of the SB you can see that our guys were clamped up that game too. If a guy got even a little open, Mahomes found him. It's a testament to his greatness, but people who only know how to read a stat sheet will never understand it.

He took everything the defense gave him that day, didn't leave a scrap on the plate. But the reeruns will still go, "herp derp 200 yards".

Yeah only question for me is if they took a tackle high who they like on the left side and better than Niang, would they consider starting a rookie there and keeping Taylor at RT.

Maybe. It at least makes a lot more sense than throwing draft picks and $$$ at Tunsil, who is undeniably a great pass-pro LT, but commands $25M on his next contract. We just signed a $20M guy, that has the tools and some experience playing LT. Don't see Andy locking up that much in resources for two guys that basically play the same position.

Andy is about weapons, not buying the best fort to hide behind.

Part of the wear and tear on his body is a product of his play style. He will do whatever it takes to score and that sometimes means taking more hits than he should. The high ankle sprain is what it is. Not saying put scrubs on the line, but KC also doesn’t need five All Pros on the line to succeed.

Yeah Tunsil makes no sense, like keeping JJSS when they invest that money in a WR1 doesn't either. No problem paying Taylor 20 to play RT if they get lucky with a tackle as BPA early. Viewing Taylor as flexible bought them a valuable option going into the draft.

Ummm this year and last year weren't even close to as physically demanding as 2020.was it wasn't just the super bowl that he got killed in. That interior line was dog shit, Mitchell Schwartz was playing injured and then was out. He got his ankle hurt early and then reinjured it when dumbass stepped on it. He wasn't nearly as mobile as usual.

That guy knows how to use social media. But, can he make sure that Mahomes takes no blindside sacks?
