Chiefs LNBS: This feels like we’re coiling to strike. - Page 2

**BossChief** · 03-17-2023, 11:19 PM

Am I just a few too many drinks in tonight, or does it seem like Veach is getting ready to take a huge swing for a stud either in the draft or trading for an elite WR or edge guy?

AJ Brown said KC tried to trade for him last offseason, so it was clearly a Tyreek thing and Veach wants an elite WR. He also knows he has a hole at DT that would be playing next to Jones and George…adding a difference maker there like a Justin Simmons or Quinnen Williams would be incredible.

I may be crazy…but I think Veach is itching to add another blue chip guy to this team.

Like…a really big swing.

Guys I can see him targeting for a trade because they become FAs next year…or their QB has a payday coming up and they can be persuaded to move a valuable piece…or a scheme change…or I’m sure some of these I’m just dreaming.

Nick Bosa
Quinnen Williams
Tristan Wirfs
Brian Burns
Justin Jefferson
Brandon Aiyuk
Montez Sweat
Jeffrey Simmons

Or maybe Veach targets some guys he wants and is willing to swing for the fences for that the other team might be willing to extract value while it’s still there like Jaylen Waddle or a Devonte Smith.

Maybe it’s not a current NFL player he’s targeting. Maybe he’s planning on making a big splash on draft night with a big trade up and that’s why the pre combine QnA was built with purely softball questions and answers.

No way 10 draft picks make this roster. He’s stacked the roster with quality starters and depth across the board. Adding quality over quantity makes a ton of sense.

Even using this years 1 and 3 and next years first to move wayyy up I bet is absolutely in play.

What way to introduce a new weapon could be better than the world champs trading up to get you in the top 10-15 picks with the draft being in KC and being able to go right to the facility and meet Mahomes, Andy, Nagy, Spags and Veach right away? Incredible to think about.

I do. He's a better version of JuJu. We dumped JuJu for a reason.

TicTockBoy may have been the reason

Its just a name that i keep thinking about as available and not super high comp required that could round out the wr room here.

Also of note, juju had a mid 4.5 40 too and the chiefs pursued him two years in a row.

they signed juju for the nfl equivalent of minimum wage for a guy with his production and age. Trading for him wasn’t nessesary.

Because Mahomes has a list of WRs that have texted him.

We’re in the catbird seat, my man.

If we can send a 3rd and get a 5th back with Hopkins, and he’s being forthright about being willing to give a contract discount..I’m down with the move…but I just don’t see it as s move Andy snd Brett wanna make.

We’ll see.

Veach is playing 5D Chess with my brain. The wizard is beyond me, as he is everyone. It's truly fascinating to watch. I have no idea what this man is up to. I just know he's brilliant and we're very lucky to have him.

I can also see them being very aggressive in the draft.

I think aggressive in the draft is the most likely option.

Best offenses in '18 & '22, not that those in-between were slouches. In those years they were different, the rest the NFL had to adjust. Though the offenses themselves were evolving.

Madonna and big nose reinvent themselves. Not every year though

kccrow · 03-18-2023, 05:16 AM

I really don't think he'll trade for any player unless it's a day 3 pick. Half of the guys in the OP would require multiple 1st round picks and big contracts and the rest would require at least a 1st and a big contract. There is always a non-zero chance but it's an extremely slim one.

I do think he could be aggressive in the draft under the right circumstances. I think that those right circumstances are a left tackle is within his comfortable range, wherever that may be in the top 20, or an offensive weapon or edge is in the mid-20s that he wants.

Taylor was careful with his words in his presser about saying that he would play wherever he's needed to help this team win, whether that be on the left or right. His remaining non-committal makes me think Veach would go up for the right price.

I think they’re going to go full NE, not put all the eggs in one basket but keep signing guys like Edwards and tranquil who are young and still ascending player. Extra chess pieces for his offensive and defensive masterminds to play with. It’s not sexy but you can’t deny we don’t have the chess masters to make it all work.

I think the big move is a draft day trade, did anyone notice that the FA’s the Chiefs sign are from teams they played last year?

And they were all playoff teams at that.

FringeNC · 03-18-2023, 07:33 AM

The roster is pretty solid. I don't think all the draft picks could possibly make the roster, so we probably make some type of move. I'd even be okay with trading picks for next year's draft if the premium was decent. We're in dynasty mode.

I get that, but do you think pittman is better than juju?

I do.
