Those three picks we get in the top 65 or so are probably gonna be long term starters. Or it’s a trade up situation and becomes two. Either way, gonna be key pieces as the 2021 draft class breaks up a bit and 2022 is on deck. [Reply]

If you think Veach isn't trying to improve the team, that's your opinion, but I think Veach's history and track record should speak for itself.
If they didn't want Cooper, they didn't want Cooper. Not a good fit, whatever, take your pick.
If they really wanted him, yeah, they could have given a second, I guess. Or the Titans' third.
They didn't. Move on. The Chiefs have.
I have and it’s not the end of the world. But it’s also not realistic to believe we can be as bad on offense this year as last given the competition in the AFC and expect to beat other high powered teams like Buffalo, Houston, or Baltimore in the playoffs. I don’t trust rolling with who we’ve got this year. We need more firepower. Hope Veach does something. [Reply]

If you consider that every year, all of the scouts and experts estimate there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 or so first round talents...yeah, our first is not really likely to be first round talent. And so on in the second. And so on, and so on.
I suppose at some point the talent gets bunched closer and so perhaps it doesn't matter as much, but it sure seems to when it comes to trying to do trades. [Reply]
It's called fucking patience. How sad would it be if we gave up that Titan 3rd for Amari Cooper only to find out the Panthers would have given up Johnson for less. [Reply]

Everyone hopes and expects him to do SOMETHING.
I'd be really surprised if it was a BIG NAME WR1 type. Especially not carrying a huge salary.
Look for either a younger guy with upside, or a steady but unspectacular veteran to just play the role of steady eddie. [Reply]
