The Chiefs just skull **** the rest of the NFL.

They all bitch about us winning all the time. But do they hire away our coaches? No. Do they sign our free agents? No, not really. I mean they even let guys who are cheap come back and play another year for us. Allegtrtti not getting a contract from a team last year was a crime. I laughed out loud when they resigned him. Its just like Wharton and Nnadi. Hey I know those guys are never going to be superstars, but team are allowing the Chiefs to retain 25, 26 year old guys who have developed in our system for peanuts. IMO, its a huge advantage, because not only is the price is right, but they know the system.

Veach is such a good GM. We now head into the draft and our only pressing need is LT and online depth, and frankly if you figure something out at LT in the draft or free agency, I think the Chiefs probably have decent depth because Morris and Caliendo.

As a fellow Oline homer with Smith becoming a free agent, and Thuney getting older, I'd love to seem them grab a kid like Dominic Puni in the middle rounds to solidify the interior for the future.

Great post, and this part is such a bigger deal than most people realize. I remember back in the day when we were constantly cycling through these kinds of guys, and it kills your chemistry and structure because you're constantly just wasting draft picks on these role player type guys trying to fill these niche positions, and it was just constant turnover of guys who barely know what they're doing and then after 4 years, poof, gone. Then you start from scratch, and repeat the cycle.

It's just yet another reason we are head and shoulders above the rest.
