I guess I just don't understand why we've been drafting OL and, with the exception of Albert, aren't getting anything out of those picks.

Because instead of drafting offensive lineman to become immediate starters, they've been drafting late round prospects like Samson, Svitek, Richardson, etc., hoping they somehow develop into quality starter.

Richardson's the only guy with the pedigree to actually become a solid starter.

The rest have been a complete and utter joke.

First a foremost I see these signings as insight that we will more likely draft O-line. Just as we did (and still currently in the process of) with Vrabel they value having a veteran presence in the mix with young guys to teach them how it's done. What better way than with Wiegmann? You can't argue the fact that if you had to have someone teach young guys, Vrabel and Wiegmann would be at the top of your list.
I think the main question at hand with these signings is how did we manage to sign veteran players (who always want a ring before money) when we won a whole 8 games in the last 3 years? Why would Jones come to KC to make less than he would with the Jets?
The answer is Pioli. Which is a bright sign for the future of our team. Of all the people scheduled to visit KC we have signed ALL, while at face value. Except for the one that didn't make it though the front door. Pioli is a hustler. These signing show much more depth than the surface reveals. I love the signings even if they aren't what they used to be.
Just for the record, Wiegmann deserves to retire a Chief, just like Gonzo does. I'd sign Gonzo at 38 just to allow him to retire a Chief.

The only thing these signings indiacate is that Pioli finally got a ****ing clue and realized the roster was absolute shit, and he didn't have enough draft picks to fill all the holes.

If Lilja is at RG he is going to get raped by the NT's.
