If I remember right, and I could be wrong, Vrabel didn't want to trade Brown. He wanted to pay him.

Literally the only way that I see them starting Taylor at RT is if one of the top guys fall into striking range. They aren't trading way up for a LT. The contract and the way that everyone is talking shows that they firmly believe that Taylor can make that switch.

Yep. I think the chances of Taylor playing RT are remote at best.

I don’t trust Niang to stay healthy. Could really see them drafting a RT in rd 1 if one is there.

I’m very confident they’re drafting a Tackle in the first 4 rds. I’d damn near call it a lock

For sure...in a perfect world all of us discerning, manly and well hung CP denizens would be married to or dating Supermodels. 😀

I don’t see a right tackle in round 1 unless there’s left tackle upside.

He’s absolutely looking to add a stud WR.

He's been looking for a few years now, when you think about it. he showed interest in OBj last year. And didn't they bring Dez Bryant in a few years ago for a workout?

Just saying, Veach has been on the hunt for a big-time WR for a while now.

I think Veach is nimble, if a top OT falls to the low 20's and we can possibly lock that down for 5 years with a rookie contract, Veach won't blink twice about keeping Taylor at RT, and be paying $25-$30 mil over the next 4 years for your bookend tackles is an easy decision.

Yes, if Veach moves up for an OT in round 1 it will be someone who is most likely a plug and play LT. The odds of one falling are slim, but Veach would pounce if they do. The flexibility of having locked down top tackles for $25-$30 mil for 4 years may break the league more than they already are...

I don’t think they’re going to start a rookie at left tackle. They took a really good LT 1st overall and even he played RT his first season. Jawaan Taylor is the LT.

Trade Mahomes for Daniel Jones....because based on what NYG paid him he must be better.

KC had to offer something in that ball parks value for him. Maybe 2 firsts.

Considering what the Chiefs have done over the past 5 seasons. Any offer they make is a hell of a bargaining chip for the player's agent.

No team is close to offering the Chiefs' atmosphere. So it will take more money to get a deal done.

Chiefs involved has little weight

I don't disagree, we have options. But moving up for a top OT that falls into the early 20's would be an easy decision if you had a willing trade partner.

Trading up or even staying put for a DE would be an even easier decision. I don’t think they’re going to invest heavily at RT.

Yeah, I was thinking about this for a minute last night, and it feels far-fetched that Veach would do this. At least this year, with no EDGE1 on the roster. I mean, maybe that's Omenihu?
