Veach and his pro personnel guys all watched Brown play last year. I think just about everybody on planet earth would take their player analysis over the doofuses at PFF.

LOL @ PFF dudes.
They are arguing philosophy vs reality. The Chiefs have an opportunity to win a championship, but were without a starting LT due to injury. So they are a supposed to write off a chance at a championship run so they can still build through the draft? That's insane. And OBJ only cost 3.3M next year. I mean come on no. Its a win for the Chiefs in the short term, and if they found a long term solution to the position moving forward that's a win too. |

Clark hasn't produced to his contract, but you absolutely cannot argue that we win SB 54 without him; and that he was a HUGE part of the defensive culture change that happened in that season. It wasn't a dumb move; it may have not quite worked out how we expected, but it was a risk worth taking. And these ****ing guys want us to draft a LT at #31 to protect Mahomes as a rookie when we're SB favorites? That's somehow smarter than taking a two time pro bowler who is 24 ****ing years old? Because we'll have to pay him eventually? STUPID. ****ing stupid. **** these numbnuts. |

The Chiefs have the leverage, too. They could franchise him twice. Of course they won't but that fact gives them leverage in contract negotiations.
It's also nice that the best case scenario for everyone, the fans, the front office, the team, the player, the family, the agent is that OBJ is a probowl left tackle and gets a huge contract from the Chiefs and protects Mahomes for the next ten years. |

The Chiefs were never going to sit at 31 and wait. Thats not Veach or Andy's style.
With that in mind, this was an easy deal to make. |

The goal isn't to maximize every cent of value out of your roster and salary cap. It's to maximize your ability to hit your ceiling as a team and win at the highest level. It would be one thing if Fisher was healthy and the Chiefs weren't facing a gaping hole at LT. Then, drafting a developmental guy who CAN be your LT of the future makes total sense. (See: Niang and Schwartz). But once Fisher was lost for the year, the whole thing changes.

If you're on a boat with a hole in it in the middle of the ocean and some other boat sells you a patch kit for a hundred dollars PFF would say man what an overpay the smart thing is to wait for a better deal

Chiefs let go of Fisher and Schwartz: "Guess Mahomes will be running for his life next season LOLOLOLOL"
Chiefs trade for OBJ and patch the Oline: "Another blunder by the Chiefs. Why pay for a Pro Bowl LT to protect Mahomes when you can build depth?" You'll never win with these brainlets |

They liked Teven Jenkins but he is not going to be there and it would be more expensive to get him

Its pretty surprising that they didn't sign an extension as part of the trade. The last team to do that was Houston and they aren't exactly a model franchise. Could end up costing KC a few extra dollars.
