What is wrong with Mahomes' deep ball?

They have taken multiple OT's in the top 3 rounds of the draft, none of them were thought to be reaches. They spent at the top of the market for Taylor, it's not like there have been a bunch of high end OT's available in FA.

Guess what, you pick after 30 every year with some hugely expensive players on your roster. Unless you want to trade like 3 1's to draft Joe Alt, what the **** are you gonna do? We're literally bitching they didn't get lucky and steal a good starting OT.

Im with DJLN on this. We need to cut bait on our Guards and go get us a veteran LT. Even if it means overpaying for average. We can handle average. Maybe we have that in house with Humphreys once he’s fully conditioned and acclimated.

I’ve mentioned in the past that we really need to be overwhelming our roster with lower skill positions like guard and LB. We need to keep doing it at Rb. These are positions you can hit on in the low rounds. I wish we would do more of that. It’s gonna be a real hard pill to swallow if we pay huge $s to Trey and thuney but we couldn’t pay for a skill player like Snead.

That's also a mix problem too, do you go for more valuable positions or the player?

Picking where we do adding any type of blue chip player is difficult. So do you go less valuable position like say RB because you might be able to add an actual blue chip talent..or do you go with a CB or edge because while not blue chip the position is more important.

It's not an easy spot to be in.

Veach has been exceptional at other spots. We’re just starting to draft very well at WR too. dB for example, we’ve been incredibly good.

I think we just take the L and recognize LT will be very difficult to draft but it’s way too important to risk. Maybe make an exception there.

I threw out an uncomfortable conversation point last year that maybe feels a little more real now. We caught lightning in a bottle with the defense but it is just a bear to maintain. We’ve used a lot of our very best draft capital on defense and been content to plug in JV starters on offense. We are going to lose guys like Snead and we probably should think twice about even guys like Bolton. Seems we’re ripe for a pivot where we should ask our offense to carry the defense again.

I was in the minority that I leaned against resigning CJ, because of basically this argument. And worries about his production versus cap hit at the end of that contract. But that is what it is and he is obviously carrying the pass rush. So go CJ.

But yea, without continuous great drafting, you end up with JAGs because you can't bring in expensive FAs and resign all of your own talent too.

Trey is fantastic. The problem is that all the rest of the NFL knows it too. He will get big money. We can’t sign everyone. Wayna has shown promise as a good run blocker. Put him there. Spend the money on a LT.
