Chiefs LNBS: This feels like we’re coiling to strike. - Page 6

**BossChief** · 03-17-2023, 11:19 PM

Am I just a few too many drinks in tonight, or does it seem like Veach is getting ready to take a huge swing for a stud either in the draft or trading for an elite WR or edge guy?

AJ Brown said KC tried to trade for him last offseason, so it was clearly a Tyreek thing and Veach wants an elite WR. He also knows he has a hole at DT that would be playing next to Jones and George…adding a difference maker there like a Justin Simmons or Quinnen Williams would be incredible.

I may be crazy…but I think Veach is itching to add another blue chip guy to this team.

Like…a really big swing.

Guys I can see him targeting for a trade because they become FAs next year…or their QB has a payday coming up and they can be persuaded to move a valuable piece…or a scheme change…or I’m sure some of these I’m just dreaming.

Nick Bosa
Quinnen Williams
Tristan Wirfs
Brian Burns
Justin Jefferson
Brandon Aiyuk
Montez Sweat
Jeffrey Simmons

Or maybe Veach targets some guys he wants and is willing to swing for the fences for that the other team might be willing to extract value while it’s still there like Jaylen Waddle or a Devonte Smith.

Maybe it’s not a current NFL player he’s targeting. Maybe he’s planning on making a big splash on draft night with a big trade up and that’s why the pre combine QnA was built with purely softball questions and answers.

No way 10 draft picks make this roster. He’s stacked the roster with quality starters and depth across the board. Adding quality over quantity makes a ton of sense.

Even using this years 1 and 3 and next years first to move wayyy up I bet is absolutely in play.

What way to introduce a new weapon could be better than the world champs trading up to get you in the top 10-15 picks with the draft being in KC and being able to go right to the facility and meet Mahomes, Andy, Nagy, Spags and Veach right away? Incredible to think about.

If I remember right, and I could be wrong, Vrabel didn't want to trade Brown. He wanted to pay him.

Literally the only way that I see them starting Taylor at RT is if one of the top guys fall into striking range. They aren't trading way up for a LT. The contract and the way that everyone is talking shows that they firmly believe that Taylor can make that switch.

Yep. I think the chances of Taylor playing RT are remote at best.

I don’t trust Niang to stay healthy. Could really see them drafting a RT in rd 1 if one is there.

I’m very confident they’re drafting a Tackle in the first 4 rds. I’d damn near call it a lock

I don’t see a right tackle in round 1 unless there’s left tackle upside.

He’s absolutely looking to add a stud WR.

He's been looking for a few years now, when you think about it. he showed interest in OBj last year. And didn't they bring Dez Bryant in a few years ago for a workout?

Just saying, Veach has been on the hunt for a big-time WR for a while now.

I think Veach is nimble, if a top OT falls to the low 20's and we can possibly lock that down for 5 years with a rookie contract, Veach won't blink twice about keeping Taylor at RT, and be paying $25-$30 mil over the next 4 years for your bookend tackles is an easy decision.

Yes, if Veach moves up for an OT in round 1 it will be someone who is most likely a plug and play LT. The odds of one falling are slim, but Veach would pounce if they do. The flexibility of having locked down top tackles for $25-$30 mil for 4 years may break the league more than they already are...

I don’t think they’re going to start a rookie at left tackle. They took a really good LT 1st overall and even he played RT his first season. Jawaan Taylor is the LT.

BWillie · 03-18-2023, 11:12 AM

Trade Mahomes for Daniel Jones....because based on what NYG paid him he must be better.

KC had to offer something in that ball parks value for him. Maybe 2 firsts.

Considering what the Chiefs have done over the past 5 seasons. Any offer they make is a hell of a bargaining chip for the player's agent.

No team is close to offering the Chiefs' atmosphere. So it will take more money to get a deal done.

Chiefs involved has little weight

I don't disagree, we have options. But moving up for a top OT that falls into the early 20's would be an easy decision if you had a willing trade partner.

Trading up or even staying put for a DE would be an even easier decision. I don’t think they’re going to invest heavily at RT.

Yeah, I was thinking about this for a minute last night, and it feels far-fetched that Veach would do this. At least this year, with no EDGE1 on the roster. I mean, maybe that's Omenihu?
