I know that was under Dorsey, but it’s still the Andy Reid era. |

Yeah, I guess so.
I'm good with WR, DE or even CB in the 1st but considering they have Thornhill and Mathieu, I don't see the logic in spending the #32 overall pick on a safety. I can see them grabbing another safety in the 4th or 5th but not in the first. |

I think you're probably right, but we're in a different era now. It's a different thing when you're a championship football team trying to stay on top as opposed to trying to get there. |

It would be a terrible waste of resources for them to spend a 1st round pick on an interior offensive lineman. Championship teams aren't built that way. |

I thought the Chiefs would take a running back as early as #32 but with met with "**** that! The Chiefs need a guard or a center!".
If the Chiefs had taken a guard or center, there's not a chance in the world that they'd be 15-2 today. Quote:
People on CP used to complain that Brady was so good that the Patriots could just plug in anyone off the street and win Super Bowls but when the Chiefs are doing the same exact thing, people continue to bitch that the offensive line "isn't good enough". The game has changed completely. You don't need 5 1st rounders to protect a QB for 2.2 seconds. |

2) obviously, Reid's offense is about skill position players; and we have Hill, Kelce, Hardman, and CEH for 2021 as well as Pringle who looks at least as good as Robinson. Watkins never plays anyway so whatever. It's probably time to draft some new blood in there for depth and development but I'll remind you that only CEH is a #1, and that was at #32. Other than Mahomes, of course, who is what really makes things go. No rookie WR is going to start anyway, it's not gonna happen. The offense is too complicated. 3)I don't think anyone's saying we need to spend a bunch of #1's on the line. Reid and Veach thus far have taken the path of UDFA and low picks in numbers to develop and hit on one here and there. That's cool, and cost effective. It's just that we might want to move it up the priority list a little and maybe get a guy that's more ready to play sooner than later, as we've got one quality starter under contract for 2021 that might be healthy. That's it. ONE. And Fisher's had injury problems that last two years too. Actually, I like Alegretti, so call it two. Like on the whole line. 4) Mahomes likes to chuck it 50 yards downfield. You need more than 2.2 seconds to do that, even when it's Tyreek. I ain't mad at Veach, we had two covid opt-outs and Osemele exploded both of his knees and Schwart's back is ****ed and Fisher's back was ****ed, and shit happens. I don't think it's nuts to maybe spend a mid round pick (you know, kind of like Veach and Reid did last season) on an offensive lineman. Also-I said when we signed Bell (and before, when people wanted to sign him before the season) that his style wasn't a very good fit for a team with a less than average line. That's kind of just proven out. Darrel Williams is a fine 3rd back. That's all. He's a role player. Damien can't be a bellcow, he can't stay healthy, you're right. Of course, with CEH here, he becomes the #2. That's probably fine. |

Even you just stated that they ran the ball effectively against the Bills and that was with three replacements on the offensive line. Quote:

That's going to happen whether or not the Chiefs have their current personnel or replaced them with five 1st round draft picks. That's asking WAY too much from the lineman. Quote:

I hope he's healthy but there's no way the Chiefs should go into the season thinking that their running back situation has been resolved for the foreseeable future. |
