xen 1,010,220 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I really like this OT draft class. FA not so much. But we do certainly have options. We'll for sure sign at least one FA tackle even if it's a stopgap. sith13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okiechief1 425 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Any possibilty they could be willing to let the market decide what his worth is. Let him get offers and see if anybody really is willing to make him the highest paid LT with the understanding that they will give the chiefs a chance to match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be getting a value for CEH at least as much as a #2 pick? What team would pay that for CEH? If the Chiefs are going the draft route, it could be because they think Wright or Mauch could start now. Sure there are others they could get without moving up much if at all. One also has to wonder if there some reason they don't want to invest heavily in Brown long term. Maybe they think that once he gets paid, his performance will drop off. He seems pretty focused on being at the top pay wise. I guess tag and trade wasn't an option. Every other team also has the choice of getting quality from the draft at lower cost. Veach has surely figured out who ahead of the Chiefs will be wanting a first round OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be as good or better at tackle than OBJ. Arms under 33" is not a good trait for NFL tackles. He's at 32-1/4". I'm guessing a whole bunch of teams slid him over to OG after that measurement and I'm guessing KC included. He's still a hell of a player, but he might be a lot more Zach Martin than he is the next Slater/Peters. SEMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 They probably really liked some guy at the combine and think he'll last until #31. OBJ was decent in general but not really worth the money so a good idea to move on but didn't expect him to be gone as early as this year without a trade. I would imagine they tag him and let the youngster develop for a year but I guess they don't even see OBJ worth that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the reason for not tagging Brown was because the Chiefs learned at the combine that there was no market for him? No team was willing to pay $19.7 million for a year of Brown plus give up a pick? I expected the tag because the Chiefs have no sure OTs at the moment and would have to overpay Brown just to get through the next season. Veach must have a plan he's confident in or he wouldn't have cornered himself this way. An OT in the first round now seems near certain and probably a FA although the cupboard is pretty bare. Will Wylie get an offer now? Brown's value must have gone down since a team needing a LT wouldn't even keep him for tag dollars. How can he expect to get over $20 million/yr. if no one is willing to pay $19+ million? oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically most teams want a 34 inch threshold but we've seen some tackles do well around that 33 mark. But then again I only said he'd do as well as OBJ. It's not a high bar.

Win rate, pressures allowed, sacks given up? Should be a little cheaper than Brown but is he an upgrade or will he play as well? We just know nothing about him or what the market for him will be. Right now, any experienced starter at either tackle position is worth checking out and I'm sure the Chiefs' staff is doing just that. Also wonder if there will be more cap casualties in the next week to pick from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
