Come on man. It depends on how high up they would have to trade to get the OT that they wanted and what that compensation was to get there.

They won't.

People are losing their minds because we lost in the Sb playing an OL made up of guys off the street against a top 3 DL in teh league. Shit happens.

I wouldn't have a problem trading up for a LT. If you aren't sold on Fisher coming back and think whoever is the anchor at LT for the next however long, go for it. LT is important.

LMAO I love how you assume the worst is going to happen when the Chiefs draft OL in these hypotheticals. "Every OL the Chiefs could possibly draft will suck. The DEs and WRs won't though, jeez value on the board blah blah blah."

No matter the position that would be a defeatist type attitude. I am sure that you are well aware of that and that is your point.

To get one of the top 4 guys, they're probably going to have to trade 1st round picks.

They traded 2 first round picks to get up to #10 to draft Mahomes. It will likely be that expensive or a bit more to do it this year.

It's simply not worth it when this team has so many needs.

You're assuming the best.

I'm asking valid questions.

You've basically said you're taking an OT no matter what happens. So I'm asking what you do if this or that happens. It's a logical response to somebody who speaks in absolutes and doesn't bother to consider alternative outcomes

Some needs are more important than others though. At some point, you gotta get a LT. It's pretty important.

By the way, assuming the worst would be me saying:

"They will fail."

I'm asking you:

"What happens IF they fail?"

I'm not assuming anything, at all.

I'm asking you to justify your position that they absolutely must take an OT no matter how the board falls.

There's a dozen ways to get one that don't involve giving up a ton of capital to do it.

We're not fans of the Texans.

Veach made a big offer to Andrus Peat last year when Fisher and Schwartz were healthy. He also drafted Niang despite them both being healthy.

He’s going to make moves on the OL.

That, plus seeing #15 running for his life and getting killed. Kinda leaves a lasting impression.

If they wait a little on a WR, I’d prefer that they hedge their bets and grab 2.

Bullshit.

And when that doesn't happen and you've given up 2 or 3 1st round picks to get them?

The odds are, whoever we take at 31 is either a bust or a decent NFL starter based on the history of end of first round picks.

Picks at the end of the first just aren't as valuable as early rounders (I'll concede that to staylor in regards to RB's, still woudln't spend a first on one though) so if you have to trade a couple to get a dude thats a legit NFL stud, do it.
