The Chiefs need to acquire their next star WR and LT of the future in this draft.

My Top 50 drops on Wednesday and half of it might be OTs and WRs.

Two loaded groups! https://t.co/lfsWEZhzCm

To the victor goes the spoils....

How damn fortunate we are to have a draft class like this, the year we need WRs and a LT of the future, despite picking at 32.

After this combine has unfolded, I'm convinced that Veach and Andy need to be aggressive about going and getting their guys at WR and LT.

Trade up twice if you have to. Flip all your damn later picks if you have to.

It is incredibly rare to have an opportunity to solidify two cornerstone positions like LT and WR in a single draft class picking from the Super Bowl champions slot. But, this is what the Chiefs are working with this year.

So, who do you want KC to grab if/when Veach does try to proactively make this happen?

[tredadda]

Agreed.

For my Wanya fans, I still like him… I think we can find better in this class.

He’d be the perfect swing tackle and could become the RT after Taylor is gone.

I don't. Did you watch the Raider game on Xmas?

There are worse things than having 3 starting quality OTs on the roster, with two being on rookie deals if Wanya turns out to be good.

I just wouldn’t bet the season on him at this point.

If a Sneed trade involves moving up the first, I’m all for OT in Round 1 and WR in Round 2. Wouldn’t mind moving up in the second for that receiver.

I think it’s very fair to say that 5 of the top 6 WR’s will be gone in the top 20 picks. If I had to guess that’s the top 3 and the 2 Texas WR’s.

And I would put money on Buffalo doing everything possible to trade up for the 6th guy (in this case Bryan Thomas Jr).

Smart money is to trade Sneed for a top 50 pick, trade up for the best Tackle they love and then trade up for the myriad of really good WR’s in early rd 2.

McConkey, Coleman, Legette, Pearsall, McMillan, Wilson, Walker, Franklin.

There’s gonna be a ton of options

You'll find no argument from me in any investment put towards keeping 15 upright and healthy.

Wanya was clearly not a finished product when we saw him last, and I'd have some trepidation about just moving forward with him as the guy.

That being said, I'd agree with trade ups, even though Veach has been great with our later round picks (Sneed as a 4, Pacheco as a 7 for instance) because the wr room is going to be addressed, Veach has shown us as much with the early release of MVS, and if you can get back up there into the ranks of players that didn't require you to meticulously comb through their tape to find what they could bring to the team and have obvious talent you gotta do it if you're serious about a 3peat.

If Wanya Morris and whichever OT we draft both turn out to be good enough to start, Reid/Heck will find a way to get them on the field even with Taylor at RT.

We have an expensive LG and a rookie RG who will both be gone soon. Someone can move inside if we need them to.

Having too many good OTs is a great problem to have. We’ll figure it out.

[mnchiefsguy]

Sounds like a gameplan to me.

Optimal situation of having the best players available that also fill positions of need.

It was really bad — doesn’t mean he’s a total lost cause. The other games he was adequate.

Again, I prefer him as the swing tackle with a chance to develop into RT of the future.

I don’t think there’s gonna be a LT available at 32

There’s gonna be - some might be more raw than others though.

Jordan Morgan, Kingsley Suamataia, Patrick Paul, Guyton could be, and there’s some others that if nothing else they may like a lot more than Wanya at that spot.

Can we please stop using blanket terms with this team? They've had on paper anyway mediocre WRs and there LTs have been Orlando Brown/Donovan Smith

They don't have to do anything

Getting better WR's is a investment into keeping 15 upright and healthy also. The shittier the WR's he has, the more he has to hold onto the ball, run around and risk injury.

Just reading the tea leaves. It’s not hard.

It’s Veach’s strategy, and most GMs, to attack positions like this when the board sets up this way.

Offense was tough this year. We shouldn’t be content to run it back like that even though it worked out this once.
