I just look at the history of the league and us specifically and cannot get around a tackle being the obvious choice. In the Super Bowl you’re almost assuredly gonna face elite pass rushing units. We did all 3 times and it’s basically the standard.

I think drafting a RT early, spending on team friendly receivers like we just did with Juju, MVS and Watson and then using the 3rd-4th rd on athletic types (trade for Toney) is the smart money.

Would really like to get more speed guys too. Calvin Austin, Danny Gray, Devin Duvernay, etc. They’re there. And they could at worst be a gadget type player.

I think that’s what they’re doing tbh. Getting guys like Corey Coleman and Josh Gordon as well as John Ross this year as a futures signing is just the beginning to try to get those guys any way we can.

I just can’t get on board with staying with guys like Wylie and Remmers at RT anymore

Remmers had a great season at RT. Played well enough over there to get us to a SB before one more injury than our OL could handle finally killed us against TB. Wylie just played a world class game to win us a championship after he played essentially every snap at the position for the top scoring and EASILY most efficient offense in this league.

Reid can scheme around any single lineman. Can he scheme around 3 of them? Well no, at that point we were sunk. But with an elite IOL and a strong LT, RT is exactly where we can cut some corners and allow Andy to work to keep that up to snuff.

I mean if a potential LT slides to the back of the 1st - sure, why not? It's a BPA scenario.

But I don't see it working out that the best player on the board is an OT and I see no reason to reach for one.

This is why I don't get the people who exclusively don't want a WR in the 1st because "Mahomes can make do with medicore WRs" - sure, but he and Reid can apparently make do with mediocre RTs as well. I think it's BPA from DE, WR and OT, and my guess is that ends up being DE given the depth there.
