Sure there are variables yet to be determined such as the health of both Fisher and Schwartz and free agency.
But protecting your franchise QB with a top Oline, especially a left OT is paramount.
Thats the attitude Vietch and Reid must have in the draft.
I'd be fine IF Veach fixed the OL. In fact, if that's all he did, and it turned out to be a solid fix, I'd be happy. Because it would mean that Mahomes would have protection and he could be Mahomes. Our WR's would have more time to get open while Mahomes was being Mahomes. Our run game would be better (providing Reid committed to effectively run), while Mahomes was being Mahomes. It all points to if Mahomes is protected, he CAN make up fo deficiencies in other places. Even he can't do that with what KC played with in the Super Bowl.

But just imagine if, in addition to building a stellar OL, that Veach did other things too, like get an edge rusher opposite Clark...
