I wouldn’t believe Nate Taylor if he said he was eating Popeye’s for dinner

For who? You think there’s a day one starter in this draft?

Will Campbell, Kelvin Banks Jr., Armand Membou, Josh Simmons...I mean I dont know take your pick. How many of them fall to around 15 or later? Does Veach think there is a day 1 starter in that group? Yeah probably.

I dont think outside the realm of possibility Veach and co fell in love with one of them.

You keeping up with his injury news? How about his arm length?

The problem is we're light on draft picks this year. Our ability to move up, especially 10+ spots, might not be there, and I think all the guys you listed are going to be gone by 20.

He would have been a top 5-7 pick before injury. He will drop a bit like Jeffrey Simmons, but who cares. Grab him.

I’d offer to chomp down a bucket with him tho

:)

It better not if that means we can't sign an LT.

Then Mahomes will have no excuses. He'll have to go out and ball.

That’s a pretty devastating injury though. I guess we’ll see if the team doctors agree with the agent and his media mouthpieces. He’s also got 33” arms.

I cant see us putting a rookie LT next to Kings at lg..or Caliendo

Guy insisted the Chiefs weren't tagging Smith. He never said a damn thing about Thuney getting traded. He was wrong about literally everything last off season.

He openly laughs at people that bother to inform themselves about the draft and celebrates his ignorance.

He doesn't know shit.

I'll say this - he's a LOT closer to Athan than he is Terez Paylor.

He was my favorite of the options but his arms were barely 33 inches and his injury is awful. A ton of players that had that same injury were never the same again.

From ESPN projections...

Ronnie Stanley, OT
2024 team: Baltimore Ravens
Free agency ranking: No. 1

2024 stats: 17 starts, 92.3% pass block win rate


Patriots' offer: Four years, $100 million ($65 million guaranteed)

Left tackle is one of the team's top needs. Ensuring Drake Maye's blind side is protected by a capable, proven veteran would be a major first step to a productive offseason of team-building. Also, bringing in a leader who has played in big games -- as a steadying presence on and off the field -- is worth an overpay. As coach Mike Vrabel said, "I think everyone overspends sometimes in free agency."

This is a standard contract with a signing bonus, designed to have Stanley earn all four years of it. We're not backloading it to make it look better -- the $25 million yearly average is meant to show Stanley how serious the Pats are, tying him with Laremy Tunsil for third highest in the NFL at the position. With almost $130 million in cap space (per Roster Management System), the Patriots are ready to spend. -- Mike Reiss


Ravens' offer: Three years, $60 million ($43 million guaranteed)

At the combine, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said he was optimistic that Baltimore would get a deal done with Stanley. That means the Ravens plan to make a competitive offer but will need help to fit him under Baltimore's tight cap.

This deal is a win for Stanley because the contract averages $20 million per season, which would put him among the top 10 highest-paid left tackles. It's a win for the Ravens because Stanley's first-year cap hit would be a team-friendly $12 million. (We'll include a $16 million signing bonus as part of the guaranteed money, and $7 million of the $43 million guaranteed will come in the final year of the deal.) -- Jamison Hensley


The decision: Stanley agrees on a new deal with the ... Patriots

This is the kind of deal that makes a player feel as if the team wants to build its offseason around him. Stanley considers himself one of the elite left tackles in the league, and this is a contract that shows the Patriots agree. -- Graziano
