[Whatever]

Good moves by KC they signed one of the best young guards in football in Thuney , got a good young LT to replace an older tackle coming off an Achilles  , ,signed  Jarren Reid and there quarterback is making 400 million dollars lol. Burrows on a rookie deal coming off an ACL , we have tons of cap space and we’re happy with Reiff , band - aid guards and hoping for lineman to fall to us in later rounds.

It's fine to say we don't have a high quality option at RT next year and it should be addressed.  However, there's 7 rounds in the draft this year to take a guy to develop for a year before throwing him in the fire, there's also a loaded T FA class next year(Taylor Moton, Terron Armstead, Duane Brown, Charles Leno, Mike McGlinchy, Brandon Shell, Mike Remmers, Isaiah Wynn, Ryan Ramcyk, Orlando Brown) as well as next year's draft.  We have this draft to fill our need for a starting X WR and do not have the luxury of drafting a guy who may be a year away from being a starter.  Williams and Reiff are miles better as starters than Auden Tate or Mike Thomas.

You can't just write the season off before it starts, either.  What kind of HC do you think you're going to get when you fire Taylor after failing to provide him with the personnel to run his offense?
