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.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
