[Dante84]

In order to prevent us wasting precious years of Patrick Mahomes' career, Veach needs to work some magic this offseason. What's your advice for him?

Exactly.

So what day 1 starting LT are you getting at 31?

I didn't know we were stuck picking at 31.

Nobody said we were.

But there are no guarantees when you’re talking about a trade up so to pass on Okung as insurance would be pretty ****ing foolish.

And the T’s in our range that we could trade up for aren’t exactly sure thing day 1 starters either.

What about Yasir Durant?

You’re the sixth person to ask and that answer stays the same, he sucks.

I wish BOB was still the Texans GM so we could get Tunsil for a 2nd. I'd offer our 31st a 3rd and something next year.

This question right here is why you have to get a capable LT ASAP.

Idc if they have injury history or if they have some flaws, of course they do. Fisher did too for that matter.

You can’t go into the draft with Martinas Rankin as your LT.

Thanks for mentioning somebody that has already been mentioned multiple times today.

I’d rather get Rashod Bateman if he’s there @ 31.

We can find some talented OTs either in the 2nd or 3rd.

There's a much much bigger likelihood you find a good WR late than you find a good LT late.

He has upside potential but it's as a guard not at tackle.

You're going to have to trade up 15 picks or more to get one of the guys that could easily be penciled in as the starting LT on opening day.

That's a ridiculously hefty price to pay for a "chance".
