I KNOW you WANTS the new Left Tackle NOWS … but throwing fits about isn’t going to manifest it.

It’s easy to say “spend the money.” You can’t control who is available to spend the money on.

Maybe Robinson hits the market. Maybe Alaric Jackson does (the Rams don’t use the franchise tag, so it’s possible he’s out there). Maybe each of them is locked up before the window opens. I wouldn’t blink one bit if they made Jackson the new highest paid player at LT, because they can create the cap space, it’s worth doing, he’s young and good, and it’s better than helping a G reset the market when he’s good in pass protection but not dominant.

They will do … something.

I don’t love the idea of signing a veteran in the JAG tier to stop-gap it while they keep trying to develop a T based on traits. But that may end up being the best option available to them. And in that scenario, Humphries in his second year removed from his ACL tear might be a pretty good option.

I do believe they’re going to consider both upside and floor with whatever decision they make.

That probably means they aren’t going to blow through a bunch of draft capital to get a T in a pretty weak T draft … unless they’re lock-stock sold on that player.

And unless they see something no one else does, I have a hard time believing that T is in this draft, unless there’s a guy the Chiefs see something with… that most don’t.

Well said.
