They have already made a crucial first step that offers them improvement at two spots (one a major upgrade) on the OL. They signed a low-risk, high-reward guy in Kyle Long (I mean, shit, if the guy is healthy and returns to form, you're talking about a Pro Bowl-level player at RG or maybe even RT).
They may end up starting two very inexperienced T. If they do, those guys are going to be lining up next to two extremely experienced G.
Or they may trade for a T to handle the left side.
There is SO much time left. Don't freak out just because they haven't been flashy (beyond signing the second-best OL available in this FA period).
The Chiefs aren't going to make panic moves (and that's a good thing). The OL may be a little rougher at the beginning of 2021 than it will be late, due to inexperience. National talking heads may question whether the Chiefs can make it all work.
That's fine. Let people question. Being the invincible frontrunners is fun but gets boring quickly.

I don’t really want to see us trade away draft picks for a LT, but I’m expecting it at this point.
I just can’t see Reid/Veach going in with an unproven option.
They might just be waiting it out to see what the market is for Reiff. I fully expect them to make a trade or sign Reiff.
They clearly know that OL is a priority, so I just don’t see Veach doing nothing. If anything, he’ll give up a bit too much to address the need. Which is better than ignoring it.
