Veach trying to keep Trey Smith

It's really not a big deal. Our weapons are young and cheap for awhile to go yet. This doesn't hurt the roster.

Pretty much where I am on it.

The question I have for the people complaining - you think the OL is bad now, how the **** do you think it gets better by letting Trey walk?

You're downgrading at that spot no matter what you do.

And when the OL would inevitably get worse, they'd bitch.

That's the thing about being a whiny bitch from the couch. You aren't ever held accountable for what you would've done.

By using the resources you've allocated for Trey Smith on Alaric Jackson or Cam Robinson instead. Or if you're going to sign one of them on top of tagging/extending Smith then use it instead of on a couple defenders that are pending free agents so we don't bottom out on that side of the ball, especially since one of Morris or Suamataia should be capable of not cratering the offense as they learn on the job.

Why not sign both?
You're going to go young somewhere, why not use the strength of this draft and lean into it? I don't think it means the defense bottoms out. I think we can get better up front and add a corner and be a good defense.

I love Bolton, but if I am choosing between putting the best line I can in front of Mahomes so this crap stops happening or having Bolton and Reid it's not really a tough call for me.

Because we already have candidates in house that should be able to play G at least adequately and almost nothing on the defensive side of the roster to backfill the losses currently. Justin Reid is the only one that may have a replacement in house right now with Hicks. Bolton and Omenihu are going to be massive losses.

I have no problem with stacking the offensive line, especially when the Wars are years away from getting paid.

Omenihu can be replaced in this draft. Bolton is a good player, but if I have to sacrifice some experience for youth, I'll do it on that side of the ball.

I personally don't think it's necessary. We just need to find the right match of competence and stability at LT to get Mahomes back to playing MVP level ball, because the constant rotations have that dude mind ****ed and Veach already stated as much in his Combine press conference.

This is also why I ****ing loathe the thought of bringing Humphries back for any reason. He's 31 years old and already ended the season on IR 4 different times. Just.... No. We've already seen Mahomes play behind a backup LT enough times.

It's a defense-heavy draft.

I'd much rather them focus on the OL/RB/WR and then use the draft to fill defensive holes.

The draft is loaded at RB.


No reason not to walk away with a RB in our first 4 picks.

Really?

It's not Caliendo.

It's not Kingsley, at least not on the right side.

Y'all can't just spend a season or two bitching about how bad the OL is and then claim that an unproven backup would be serviceable after letting Trey leave.

Morris or Kingsley.

There's a reason why Kingsley played LG in Week 18.

And you're making a huge assumption on Wanya - kinda the same thing you all are bitching about Veach doing with Kingsley.
