Thing is, we'll have to pay for it. I don't see getting it at #30 plus. Ngakoue's $15m this year; and headed for double-digit sacks. He's the most prolific pass rusher available in next year's free agency.

He's basically the only one available at this point, at least with any consistency. The only other one in that realm is Smoot and he's not quite the pass rusher that Ngakoue is. The one fear I do have about Ngakoue is overpaying.
The rest of the class is a lot of rotational players or major projections. The Chiefs pretty much have to consider those 2 guys and maybe take a poke at a guy like Omenihu or Davenport being an Emmanuel Ogbah type of late bloomer.
With the LT and RT positions being such a problem, it's a difficult spot to be in for the Chiefs. You're looking at tying up every potential resource into OT, DT, and DE and still not coming out with a long-term stud player at any of them. I think concessions have to be made in order to get better across the board.
