Trade whatever possible for a LT prospect

[RunKC]

I don’t care. If there’s a LT in this draft that they feel can be a good quality LT, do it.

I don’t care if it would cost three 1st rd picks. Mahomes is not gonna be this athletic for much longer.

It needs to happen

[RunKC]

Welp this all but ends the “Kingsley developing at LT” talk. As if the corresponding move to G wasn’t a big enough clue, pretty much all of the KC media guys were floating it.

We asked Brett Veach about If Kingsley could still work at LT this offseason but he emphasized that he has a lot of upside at guard

What if the plan is to re-sign Smith and cut Thuney?

That tells you everything you need to know about the Smith noise IMO.

Sure, could be Thuney's future replacement, but much more likely that they see him as plug and play at RG.

Jackson
Thuney
Creed
Kingsley
Taylor

Allegretti replacement = Nourzad
Swing tackle = Morris
Developmental tackle = Driskel
Back to impressions instead of football = Caliendo

Let’s ****!

So Veach is just spewing nonsense at the Combine then.

So is Conerly's tape against Carter in the BIG10 title game.

Why? What if Kingsley doesn't work out at guard? Then you patch that position all season long and go into next years offseason with not only needing a RG but possibly a LG replacement for Thuney.

Drafting a day 1 starting guard early means you gain tons of flexibility going forward.

Cause the team has more holes that it really can't be drafting a guard in the 1st round.

And they’ve taken more than enough OL over the last few drafts to cover one of the least important positions on the field.

I prefer Conerly, but if Jackson can be another option, all the better.

We really need to be thinking about injecting some speed and playmaking into the offense.

Like there are people that would probably be upset but if you came out of the first 2 rounds with Burden and Judkins it would do a **** ton for the offense.

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll have the flexibility to add 2 barring an unexpected free agency period. But we need to add at least one with those first 3 picks, and I think it will be a RB if they do.

Sounds great but people probably won't talk much about that until we know we have several other things locked up. LT, MLB, and DT need to be above WR3 and RB2 at this point. We'll know alot more between about March 10th and March 15th.

[RunKC]

Idk what you guys are seeing but I would be extremely frustrated if we took Donovan Jackson over BPA and put him at LT. He’s a major project. He needs to be where belongs at G.

Abdul Carter killed that guy the entire 2nd half. Was whipping his ass.

Donovan Jackson (LT) in pass pro vs Abdul Carter

Early on, timely throws, Jackson's two-hand punch, and a mean recovery vs a spin move kept Carter at bay

The tide began to shift before halftime, when Carter's freaky first step, bend, and white-hot motor started to take over pic.twitter.com/pSFdiu2iaR

I don't think it's RB2, we need to come off this idea that Pacheco is a really good RB. He's also coming off a pretty major injury and going into the last year of his contract.

Secondly a WR 3 is a starter, he's also going to be behind 1 guy who is going to get suspended and coming off injury and another who while I like Worthy his body type says you might wanna manage snaps on him and points.
