He was last year.

4) Draft WR + LT early

5) If LT falls through in the draft again, call Donovan Smith again

To me this isn't the only plan but probably the best plan. I'd entertain keeping Sneed and but I think its got to be on a semi friendly extension not the tag.

Wow, I did not remember that. Still feels like living dangerously to hope for that 2 years in a row. I suppose this is just an area that makes me nervous. I always want to know who our LT will be. It's like, the second most important thing on the team and it's always up in the air.

I would much prefer to have the long term answer at LT in place and let them play next to Thuney for a couple years. But IF it doesn't work out, it wouldn't shock me to see Donovan there. His neck thing is a concern. You aren't gonna get 17 games out of him. Just have to hope he's there for the playoffs.

Sign Bakhtiari but keep Wanya game ready.

Yup. It’s why I think LT is a much bigger need than WR even before the Brown signing. KC has to solve the LT situation and currently the starting LT is looking like Morris. Now if the coaching staff thinks he’s the answer then great. If not though, they almost have to take the best LT left when they pick. WR can be addressed in Round 2 much easier than LT can.

If you get 46 from Indy, leaving you with 32 / 46 / 64 / 95 ...

There's probably enough ammo there to be aggressive and get your LT of choice after pick 15 while also letting a nice WR fall to you around 46.

Knowing Veach though he might say F it and go up for both.

I actually would be surprised if he traded up for both. KCs two stellar draft classes are due to start getting paid in the next year or two. We won’t retain all of them, so the more picks he has available, the more needs he can fill. LT would be the one I think he could trade up for.

I kind of want this trade to happen just so Veach can finally figure out WR and LT of the future.

I have zero doubt that they will continue to find CBs through the draft.

I know you're just presenting one option, but man it feels like people are way too locked in on WR/LT. I'd be totally down with them adding TE/any OL/any DL/any DB early. And RB in the 3rd or later. Pretty much BPA and future planning.

I hear you - it's not just about need though for me. This class is absolutely loaded at WR and OT in the top 50-75 players, so there's an opportunity to be had I think to catch some players that would be higher rated in other years.

[O.city]

I don't know how many of these OT"s are actually LT's is the problem.

I would guess that take a swing at a WR, but with it being a big class of those, it may be a spot where some good players at other spots fall.

Maybe you just bet on the traits for the OTs - does he have quick feet, length, all that stuff.

If he does, he can probably play LT or RT. I mean we see guys moved from LT to RT all the time these days because teams like to have both solidified.

They did that with Wanya. At some point, they need to either play the guy or change what they look for.

No. Your current LT would be Taylor. Only reason he wasn't last season is because they got Smith for a steal.

I think that's the plan this year unless they find another major bargain.
