gochiefsgo 380 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 In this draft there’s a great need for a LT and a RT. MLB is a need, OLB is a need. I get it. But Mahomes is everything. Protect him. nothing else is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpo The Mad Clown 5,555 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Nothing is as important as protecting the franchise QB the Chiefs have been waiting for for 50 years. A stud O-lineman is the only conceivable first round pick. West, oldtimer, gochiefsgo and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan4pres 125 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I see what you guys are saying and I don't disagree. On the bright side, Mahomes seemed to do just fine when only Schwartz was out of the lineup. I think he can manage with a less than stellar OT on one side as long as the rest of the line holds up. He is a Houdini back there after all. In the SB, he had BOTH OTs out, he had OL playing out of position and he was playing on a bad foot. I want a strong line for a lot of reasons but I don't think we need Willie Roaf either. You also have to give TB some credit, they have a good rush package and we had dog shit on the OL that day. Remmers did OK at RT and maybe you give the COVID kid and a 1st Rounder the chance to battle it out at LT. If Fisher or Schwartz want to come back, I wouldn't mind that either.

gochiefsgo 380 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Those guys, Schwartz and Fisher, are on the other side of 30 with major injuries. A stud tackle is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,662 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I don't see them going defensive tackle or corner. OL, WR, or TE in that order seems like the most likely pick to me. I think for sure OL somewhere in the first 3 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan4pres 125 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 One guy no one is really talking about is Osemele. I realize he's old and had TWO major injuries. He might be (and probably is) done. However, I thought he was playing at a very high level before his injury. If he can come back, that would allow Thuney to slide outside to LT for a year while we groom our LT of the future. Like most people, I prefer to keep Thuney at OG where he thrives but this would just be another option for us. I read somewhere that Osemele was working hard to come back and wants to keep playing. He would make our run game A LOT better instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 OT, DE, followed by WR. Tackle because its our biggest need but it's how the board falls. If Oweh or Phillips fall to us at 31 then I would make a strong case you take them and then trade 2nd and 3rd to move back up in the 2nd for a OT prospect. Guys like Little and Brown have a lot of upside but one is a little raw and the other is an unknown because of little playing time. Stone Forysthe is another guy more likely in that late 2nd range. I like those guys better than the Mayfield, Eichenburg, and Radunz. I just think the difference in a guy at 31 and 63 isn't going to be that much difference unless a guy like Darrisaw or Jenkins slip to the mid 20's then maybe you think about moving up to grab them but are we even sure Jenkins can play LT? gochiefsgo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 But watch, Veach will probably mortgage the farm to move up to 20 so he can draft Liam Eichenburg or Jalen Mayfield or Stone Forsythe lol. Troyofoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Why was DT listed in the thread title? With Reed, that seems to be a position of strength, at least for this year. OT, DE, WR, LB, and OC are obvious needs with TE, S, and CB the places where a good player falling to the Chiefs would be help in the near term. Replace Wylie, Reiter, Neiman, and Sorenson with upgrades on rookie contracts. .Hitchens, Ward, and Robinson can go next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Got to have a starter at 31 I would think. If they don’t like the OTs there, trade back or grab an impact WR or Edge or CB if available. How high would we have to trade up to get a good OT? I have heard 20.

DieHard 2,061 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Another question. The radio said we only have 24 players that will be under contract in 2022. That sounds a little scary. Is it true? Lamardirts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Got to think they are taking the best offensive linemen, regardless of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 "Stupid" might be the right word. After the OL disaster of 2020 an injury to the franchise QB with a full offseason to work on some solutions will likely end some careers if the needs are ignored. Regardless the emphasis on the interior OL during the FA shows the commitment to solving the dire issue and somewhat of an indicator about what will happen in the draft in terms of LT and likely an OC.

I believe Veach will move up to grab the OL he wants. It’s gotta be a plug and play pick so if that’s what it takes do it. Then we will be set for a few years.

He said finding a RT and LT in this draft was "a great need." We have a competition of Remmers and Niang at RT. Thats a position that's been addressed.

sith13 1,746 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I know Niang has been touted as a RT in the NFL but do we know if that's where they are working him out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 His workout videos seemed to show him on the right side. Hard for me to believe he would be working on that side if the Chiefs told him he was in the running for LT. sith13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
