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.

If they absolutely have to trade for one then I guess that's the price to protect Mahomes, but I have to say I don't like the lost opportunity cost of failing to be able to address as many other positions with the lost picks. I'd prefer the Reiff option along with drafting a tackle in round 3 or 4 to compete.
While OT is probably our #1 need by far we shouldn't forget that our defensive ends overall are pretty bad and need to be addressed as well. Our wide receiver depth is almost non-existent and cornerback is a little thin unless we can bring back Breeland. All of those positions can certainly be addressed, but trading away a 1st or 2nd makes it that much harder to do so.
