The shit you guys come up with.

ummm. Veach kinda mentioned Clark saying as much in an interview after the draft.

Hard to believe that we would part with next year's 1st to trade for a guy.

It’s gotta be for a pass rusher

I think the same could be said at WR. It's just very unlikely they bench Hardman, and Moore's snaps are only going to grow with JuJu and MVS racking up snaps too.

Where are there snaps to be earned?

RB? The Chiefs simply are not going to bench Clyde, though they may reduce his snaps. The Chiefs like McKinnon and Pacheco, who they're not going to bench when December arrives. I don't think there are snaps there.

Two places, in order of likelihood:

RT -- Wylie is JAG and Niang is imaginary
DT -- a snap-hole opened up in the wake of Wharton's injury

These are the only two positions that make sense to me.

THIS makes sense to me.

Which is why I think it will be OBJ. Push the WR Depth chart down 1 Each

1 OBJ
2 JUJU
3 MVS
4 Hardman
5 Sky
6 Watson

Dump Rojo for the roster spot. I don't think it will be hard for OBJ to run some basic routes that either get him open deep or spring JUJU/MVS/Kelce open underneath

No, you just WANT that to be, you don't think it will be. Because it's nonsense.

That's not how this offense works, and you know that.

Dumb idea. Why push draft Skyy in the second if you’re just going to leave him on the bench all year.

The ideal and easiest scenario is that we sign Eric fisher who I’m sure would love to be here. Orlando brown has to realize he’s losing big bucks every day he struggles at LT and hopefully he moves to RT (where he will excel). If he ever comes to his senses on this we can also sign him long term for cheaper than we originally planned for. It seems like a long shot but man would this be a win win for the chiefs. Talk about upgrading two positions with 1 single move.

I didn’t listen to the podcast, so can’t confirm. Take this for what’s it worth.

We're getting DJ Moore. Just a feeling...

Chris Meck · 10-19-2022, 06:50 AM

OBJ can't even practice right now. late November, early December would be optimistic.

It ain't OBJ.

Clearly I don’t make those decisions. BUT the alternative is that Hardman is gone.

Chris Meck · 10-19-2022, 06:54 AM

no WR is going to help you this season in this offense.

I would think that would be obvious watching.

If they make a move for a WR it's with next year in mind.

Maybe they do that. I kind of doubt it.

A pass rusher or an offensive tackle can help you now, to win THIS Super Bowl.
