I'd throw about 20-30 mill at two new starting guards. David Edwards LG from the Bills, and Wyatt Teller RG from the Browns would be my preferred optons.

Then you give George Pickens his payday. Guaranteeing Mendoza has a bonafide #1 WR in addition to an elite TE and talented young RB.

On defense I'd love for us to poach John Franklin-Myers from the Broncos. 5-7 sack a year interior pass rusher. And we need to be aggresive in finding a solution to our LB'er issue. I'm partial to Devin Bush, but it's a great year to be in the market for a LB'er there are plenty of options.

But man to hear this for so long, it's like certain words become unspeakable until we become good.
Offseason will always be critical, it's a critical offseason for the Chiefs.

We had the 1st overall, but we were 13th in cap space, didn't have a GM, Al was still in the building. My logic in emphasizing this offseason is that we haven't really been in this kind of position for as long as I can remember. The conditions will never be better for us to see this losing spell finally end. Simply phoning in Mendoza's name won't be enough, we need the accompanying transactions to be good but there's finally a legitimate reason to be hopeful, and not just lying to ourselves that things will finally be different.

The defense is still below average after year 4, which is awful because continuity was supposed to be a good thing. He doesnt seem to be able to coach rookies up as well as I think he should. He needs to be in the box to call the games properly and thats not good for a team that needs their coaches on the field for motivation. The inmates seem to be running the asylum over there as well. the Chandler Jones thing was a big mistake, the Christian Wilkins thing was a big problem also. He should have noticed these things and corrected them before they spiraled out of control like they did. I could be wrong also, it wouldnt be the first or last time.

Also, it is labeled as the 26-27 season, which cannot be right. The 2027 season is for another day -- or am I getting dementia and cannot follow threads....
