Obviously not the 3rd but the Chiefs got Creed H. at pick 63 and he is playing lights out at center for them.  There are starters to be had in the late 2nd and 3rd just pick them instead of fuging trading back for a wr3

there will always be 2nd / 3rd rnd dudes that end up being studs.  I agree that all things considered, the emphasis on WR was a bit of an odd one, given the weakness on OL and what was available.  But... BPA etc... ah well.

We NEED to fix OL, though.

trading down only works if someone really wants to come up.  And with this qb class I aint seeing it.

We traded down how many times this past draft?  How many QBs were taken in our old spots?  We won't get 3 1sts or anything crazy for a trade down.  But I could see us moving a few spots back and getting a 2nd and 3rd in compensation.  We could get Tyler Linderbaum in the middle of the 1st round, then get multiple guards in the second/third round plus a LT project if we wanted.  Because we're trading back with our 2nd as well.

My point is, someone wants to trade up for some reason.  Doesn't have to be for a QB.

Our problem is, we need a QB.  Idk what the draft is going to look like, but QB vs LT vs IOL will be the question going into next offseason, cause we can't get all three; 2 of 3 would be lucky.

Go back and look at previous drafts in the first round and see how many times teams traded up in the first for a non qb.  I will wait......

Goodell seems to be saying otherwise...

...absent new "information" the "situation" stays the same.

The second bit is just someone's take on it.  The process is ongoing is pretty key.  There's no need for charges to occur for him to be played in the exempt list etc.

In fairness, we have put together a very talented and young roster. The biggest concern is how they just can't seem to wrap their head around certain key and CRITICAL positions, like OL and QB.

You aren't gonna go far in this league if those two units are as bad as ours.

I think people generally overrate this roster. Outside of DL and Cornerback(now) we really don’t have any depth at any position that is worth a damn at the moment. Yes WR is decent if they were all healthy but being healthy especially for rookies is a big part of it. Depth is key and our depth sucks and like you say we have two or the most key positions that suck from top to bottom currently.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
