Why trade up to get a RT if we are planning to play Taylor at RT and we have Niang, Remmers and Prince that we can play at RT? That’s a lot of draft capital to spend on Wanya if they penciled in Taylor at RT.
I think the chiefs are just trying to get as much depth as possible and they will give Taylor a shot at the LT spot. If he struggles, they will move him back and put smith in at LT. He’s an insurance policy and a cheap one if Taylor doesn’t adjust or in case of injury. They will let these guys compete and put the best 5 starters on the field.

They dumped their 6th rounder (actually the Bears 6th; the first in the round) for a pick next season.
Veach clearly felt like they'd run out of guys they really wanted to get their hands on.
Karl Brooks, Kei'Trel Clark, JL Skinner, Kayshon Boutte, Trey Palmer, AT Perry, Zack Kuntz - a lot of guys were still on the board at that point and at that moment in time Veach decided that none of them were worth using a 6th round pick on.
And you're getting wound up about moving pick 217? We traded the first pick of the 6th round for a pick that's probably gonna be maybe 10 picks ahead of that next season. And you 'hate' that we gave up the
last pick of said round?
Who ****ing cares? You walk about the quality players we could've drafted at 95 but that's immaterial as we could've taken any of them at 92. The only relevant consideration is the pick they gave up to get it done and Veach demonstrated, loud and clear, that the pick was simply irrelevant to him.
