Chiefs trade their 1st for for Tunsil, 4th for Hopkins. It all goes down on draft day.

You heard it here first, folks.

There's no way the Chiefs move a RT to LT? Interesting theory.

The Chiefs just gave more money to a RT than their previous LT signed for that they moved from RT.

They basically did do that with Orlando though. Taylor is a way better athlete than him seems fully comfortable with the switch. They are paying him LT money.

Money is irrelevant. Top-tier RT salaries are approaching LT money. Is what it is.

The Chiefs didn't move Orlando from RT to LT, the Ravens did that. The Chiefs were clearly not satisfied with Orlando's performance this year and they rightly shouldn't have been. It's exclusive from the other situation where Wylie was an even bigger bag of dicks, he just so happened to cost substantially less.

Taylor has played a whopping 2 career collegiate games at LT. Him playing LT is a fallback plan, not THE plan. I'm confident of that. Taylor made that abundantly clear in his presser.

Give me a ****ing break. He subbed in for half a season after their starting LT went down with a season ending injury and then they traded him. The Ravens actually moved him to RT after he played LT in college.

Another crazy thought! We all expect Veach to get us Hopkins or OBJ which for example, Hopkins will cost about $19M. So getting Tunsil + Hopkins is just not gonna happen.

How about:

Texans get:
#31
2024 1st
2025 1st
CEH

Chiefs get:
#12
Tunsil


With the #12 pick we take 1 of the top two WRs, Quentin Johnston or Jaxon.

So now we have the best OL in the NFL plus a young stud and cheap WR to pair with our other guys.

Value is actually spot on if you look at the numbers!

And after playing LT he didn't want to move back to RT, thus prompting the trade. I wasn't wrong, man. KC kept him at LT. That doesn't mean Taylor is coming here to play LT. He might play LT, but it was clear that wasn't guaranteed to him. He's LT in the event they don't secure a better option at LT.

As nice as that would be I don't think CEH adds much to the trade.

I think #12 is too high for any of these WR's, I'd say let's pray that DT J. Carter, DE M. Murphy, or DE. T. Wilson falls to #12.

Then move this year's 3rd + MVS for D. Hopkins, and restructure CJ to make the money work.

OT Tunsil
WR Hopkins
DL J Carter, T Wilson, or M. Murphy
+
7 Draft picks between rounds 4-7

lol now there's a draft plan!

Tunsil just signed a 3 year, $75 million dollar deal with the Texans. They also offloaded Cooks to Dallas…

He signed an extension 3 years 70 millions... highest paid LT in the game again.


Texans also traded cooks to the Boys for 6 and 5.

I'll embed.

Anticlimactic but not surprising. Texans would've been crazy to let him go.

Gotta think it has to be Dhop or Beckham coming soon to the Chiefs

Never wanted him anyway.

Take my word for it. No need to check my previous posts on the subject.

Dude sucks anyway.

Or the Chiefs with their $14M in cap space are done looking at guys with $30M cap hits.

I assume that means Dallas is out on OBJ now?

:doh!:

I'm glad you are not our GM. Mortgaged our future like no other GM ever has. Wasted Mahomes prime years. Good plan. :rolleyes:

I'd rather get Mahomes another weapon.

We have elite G-C-G which is perfect match to awareness, mobility of Mahomes.

Just don't be dog shit.

If you aak that dipshit TW, the Texans were just gonna wheel and deal him because they somehow didn't just know Watson would eventually start raping.

He resigned with the texans 3 for 75

I wonder if Veach had been trying to get both Tunsil and Cooks.

The 4th for Hopkins happen first and they package him with our pick for Tunsil sending Hopkins back to the Texans. ROFL

I knew it was a pipe dream but was hoping varch would pull a rabbit out of his butt

Tunsil got the deal OBJ thought he was going to get......................

I can’t imagine paying this bum that kind of money! You couldn’t give me picks to make him the left tackle of my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs!

Ever since we didn’t get him, I’ve noticed that he ****ing sucks

The film study that I’ve put in over the last two and a half hours has been eye opening to day the least

I know right. :)

So a whole lot of drama for nothing?

What is….what your Mom said when you were born.

I’m glad this stupid pipe dream is over.

Now all we need is for Nuk to get traded to wherever.

Tunsil is going to give guys like OBJ and Lamar false optimism with serving as their own agent.

That should've been me!

Orlando Brown Jr demanded this type of deal per Pro Football Talk and Veach told him to **** off.

Then he gets a young capable Tackle with the right traits for 80% of the cost of the highest paid guy.

Goddam I love Brett Veach

Never seemed very likely that Tunsil would be traded, but it was interesting to think about for a while. Glad Veach didn't get sucked into overpaying for Tunsil at the end of the day. Too bad Tunsil will never win a SB.

He’s clearly learned his lesson about trading high picks for players demanding top of market contracts.

Possibly. There were multiple reports that Veach was actively trying to trade for him this offseason snd that Veach was actively trying to trade for AJ Brown last offseason.

I think he learned that he needs to go into negotiations with a firm line that he won’t cross.

We saw it with Silverback, AJ and now Tunsil.

Nobody in their right mind thought he was coming to KC.

True, but a lot of people were very convinced that KC was resigning Brown and not too many saw Taylor...

Neither Brown nor Taylor required giving up premium picks.

Yeah, he likely would've required a 1st just to ante up then who knows? But probably multiple picks to close the deal, and no way Veach would've gone there.

Im kind of hoping that this is the plan, to be honest. It is the best way to put the BEST O line in front of Patrick.

You can have the highest paid RT if your LT is on a rookie deal.

Yeah we have a rookie at LT but the rest of the line is amazing, leaving us with only one questionable spot, LT.

I think Taylor can make the switch if necessary but then we have two questionable spots, both Tackles. Not ideal, basically what we had last year but with more upside.

I dont like that we dont get a 1st round edge in this scenario but given it solves the O line for years, Id take it and be happy.

I'm fine with it. Would have taken a ton of high draft picks and would have killed our cap situation for the next several years. All in on grabbing OBJ or Hopkins and making a huge trade up in the draft for our franchise left tackle

It was a fun conversation and one worth entertaining. The smoke was real, Veach scoped it out. After signing Taylor there was no way we were going to trade for Tunsil. I believe Taylor was Plan C after Orlando and Tunsil. Veach works fast.

In the end we saved a lot of money and draft capitol by not moving on Tunsil.

After signing Omenihu, the need at ER is much less than it was. We need another player at least but not necessarily an immediate starter. I don't know that the Chiefs will go that way in the 1st even if they don't trade up for an OT or WR.

As for trading up, what I've been seeing is that people are enamored with "don't trade multiple 1s" but then the reality is we're 1 pick removed from saying we're giving up multiple 2's. It's not like we're giving up two top-15 picks anymore. If Veach wants it, he should go up and get it.

There has been communication with Houston, so I'm guessing they also discussed the cost to move to #12...

I'd guess it's:
#1-31, #2-63, #3-95, #6-207, 2024-1
for
#1-12, #3-73

I'd do that for Broderick Jones.

With 73, you could move back up into the 60's for a 4th and high 6th probably. So, if there's a guy you feel like you're missing out on then go back up and get him. We have a lot of picks, and not a lot of holes.

If you can fix LT for 5 years and have RT locked down with Taylor for 4... Man, that's pretty good.

I won't pound the table for it to happen, but it's something that would make some sense to me. If not, I have other thoughts at 31.

Reports are that Veach actually offered more than the 9ers did for Silverback but he picked to stay in the bay.

Yikes. Hard pass for me.

nfl.com has him having signed a 3 year extension w houston

FYP

I really think the plan with Taylor was to bring in a guy who could play left or right tackle, which gives you the flexibility to find a left or right tackle via free agency or draft. It means you still shoot for a tunsil but no need to panic. It also means you can draft a RT or LT… which ever feels like better value

Taylor is playing LT. They're not gonna put a rookie in at LT. Tunsil was literally never gonna happen. Plus the Chiefs aren't setting the ****ing market at RT. That's ridiculous.
