Chiefs name current options at tackle, suggest they arent done adding yet Speaking to reporters on Monday, left tackle Trent Williams but missed out.Instead of trying to patch that hole with any other free agent left tackle https://www.kccgear.com/marlon-character-jersey, Veach held tight on wanting an upper-tier player at that position. Its why they were able to be in a position to trade for Brown — a two-time Pro Bowler that turns 25 in a few weeks.“Trent was a guy that we thought would have really helped us on that left side https://www.kccgear.com/leon-sandcastle-jersey,” Veach said. “We werent able to get that done, but after Trent, it was our responsibility to be disciplined. We felt like we would rather go into this draft process; some of the alternatives out there just didnt make sense for us... We didnt want to sign someone just to sign someone, we have some players there on our roster currently with some ability. That in combination with the draft coming up, it was just important for us to stay disciplined so that if other things come available, we would be able to execute those.”Veach mentioned defensive tackle Jarran Reed as a benefit to staying disciplined they wouldnt have been able to acquire him if they prematurely signed a free-agent tackle.
