Okay... so two-fold thing...

One, you have to have eyes on the next season...

Right now the 2025 Roster (according to OTC) is:

Spoiler!

I think the focus this year should be LT, WR, TE and IOL.

That would help offset some needs next year since you likely need 2 starters on the IOL (I don't see them retaining all of them) plus other attrition with guys like Gray, Hollywood, etc.

As for the draft picks, I think the remaining needs you would have at DT, LB, S, and RB are things we routinely fill in FA so I'm not too worried about what we have/don't have. It would be nice to keep our 2nd and the TEN 3rd if possible.

That said, a 1st next year and a 1st this year probably gets you to 19, maybe need a small kicker. Add a 3rd next year and you're only really looking at getting to 17. I'd think 15 could be a sweet spot if you really want one of the upper tier of LTs and even then it could be a long shot. It really depends on what LAC, NYJ, and NO do at their picks. I feel like 15 is a stretch because you're looking at a 1 and 3 this year (or 2 next) and a 1 next year.

I'd agree if anyone said that, at some point, KC likely has to pay the piper and make a ridiculous move to go get a LT. Next year's class has the potential to be better early at LT. This year's class has way too many really good RTs and you're trying to project some to LT. That doesn't usually work out like it does in reverse.

The more I look at this class, the more inclined I am to see if the Giants would swap 2nds and give us their 2025 2nd for our pick at 32 if they want, say, Penix. We're still within a solid threshold for a WR at 47 or probably in play for Paul from Houston. Not too many like teams to do that with. Las Vegas but not sure we'd be inclined to help them get a QB.
