So has everybody else. Without the injury, he's the #1 LT in the draft. He's not going to drop to a range we can get him most likely.
Furthermore, he doesn't fix the LT problem that is the entire premise of this thread. He's not going to start next year. [Reply]

I can’t figure out Ersery. He’s a big guy but doesn’t appear to have the foot speed. Not decided on him but he’s an option.
I just don’t think they want to go down this development road after doing it with Wanya and Kingsley the last 2 years.
I am fully expecting Cam Robinson at this point [Reply]
Also for those that want Stanley just remember, he's 30, the clear best guy and it's his last chance to get paid, that dude is gonna be asking for the bag...
Oh also this past year is the only time Stanley hasn't missed a game in his entire career. [Reply]
Said many times Staylor, especially back last off season, that I would have retained Smith. He was "good" enough to play and win the Super Bowl. Would have been good enough to start the season also. Would have bought some time for the kidos. [Reply]

So your solution is a guy that was on his fucking couch and you have no clue how done his neck/body is.
They had this guy in the building jsut last year, and they STILL felt that Humphires was the better option between the two. Are you really so stubborn to believe that you know something they don't and not the other way around?
Thanks for proving my point that you have absolutely nothing. [Reply]
That was the same general reaction before trading Tyreek.
Do I want to trade McDuffie? Of course not.
However if trading McDuffie is a necessary means to draft a franchise LT and finally secure Mahomes’ blind side for the rest of his career? You consider it.
Veach and the Chiefs have shown an ability to draft/develop CB’s. [Reply]

Raw, needs development and is coming off of a major knee injury.

I’m big on Ersery, I’m personally fine with a small trade up if necessary along with another year of Humphries. Pair that with KS and Morris and you have 3 young tackles as well as a veteran option to hold the fort down. There’s no guarantee Ersery is better than KS or Morris but you’re playing the numbers game at that point and have a veteran option unlike 2024. I’d also look into having some other veteran options on speed dial in FA or trade in case things go south either from injury or lack of development. If that doesn’t work then man I just don’t know what else you can do. [Reply]
