The window is WIDE open, right freaking NOW.

If they can't contribute now, find somebody who can. This team has won 1 playoff game in the last 30 years. If it takes mortgaging the future to win a Super Bowl, DO IT.

You guys can sit around and bitch about it in 2019 and 2020 but I won't be here, I'll be enjoying doing something else knowing that the Chiefs finally won it all.

Enough of this 'too risky' bullshit. Let's do this. We have so many talented players on rookie deals.

We need to go for it now.

I'm not saying we should give up an arm and a leg for Thomas, but if we have to overreach a bit, so be it.

I don’t care what you think of Veach, who we don’t know if he played a big part in drafting Dee Ford/Eric Fisher.

It’s foolish to give up that assett. Give them a 2019 2nd+2020 3rd or something. Not a first rd pick.

40 time means shit for a veteran, Earl Thomas has elite smarts and ball skills, he doesn't need that to make plays. There's a reason Ed Reed was a playmaker until he was nearly 40, it wasn't 40 time.

Chris Jones didn't make a full-time impact until the end of his rookie season. You just want to keep pushing the window back and back and back. Screw it, let's just keep on keeping on.

Beer is cold, BBQ is hot, and the stadium is full. No Super Bowl rings needed.

Quit drafting? It's ONE pick. ONE.

Even if they gave up their 1st, they'd still have TWO seconds and the entire rest of the draft.

:facepalm:

You're going to need to dump Houstons salary to re-sign Hill, Jones, Morse, etc. Unless you're comfortable with Kpass being a full time starter you're going to need some picks to address the pass rush situation.

It's amazing how when Veach worked under other GM's he found All Pro players in just about every draft, but now that his is the actual GM his draft isn't looking good for immediate contribution.

Again, we're not trading an entire freaking draft for Thomas. It's 1, maybe 2, picks.

You arent understanding this at all dude.

THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE STARTING POSITIONS OPEN NEXT YEAR. Any cap money will be used to keep the studs we have. There wont be enough to go out and sign free agent starters. YOU WILL NEED MULTIPLE DRAFT PICKS TO DRAFT STARTERS AND FILL DEPTH.

Thomas has elite skills and is a winner.

Yup.

Trade for Earl Thomas and be forced to get rid of Justin Houston and no first rd pick in a stacked pass rushing draft.

It’ll be fun seeing QB’s destroy Eric Berry and Earl Thomas since they have an hour in the pocket.

No, I just don't think it's smart to go all in by trading high picks for older players and giving them big contracts.

His first draftees are 3 games into their careers. Not to mention he was drafting late and without a 1st round pick.

Some of you have ridiculous expectations.

There aren't any studs on the defense. Not one. They're all expendable.

One draft pick isn't going to make one single bit of difference. At all.
