If the Chiefs were to go after a lineman this year, they should look at a center, and do so in the mid-late rounds. Shift Hudson to guard and have the two second year players battle it out for RT and swing tackle depth.
Draft strategy should be based on current team needs, not on the kinds of picks we've used in the past at a given position. Those are sunk costs that shouldn't influence future decisions.

Our biggest needs are CB, WR, FS, RT, ILB, and overall depth.

RT probably being about the 4th priority...

Good....then we can draft a RT in the 3rd round because we already have a LT. Next.

Is that a fact? I thought we were talking in facts here, not changing to speculation in an attempt to refute a fact that hurts the argument.

Yet it seems the successful teams are the ones who are able to push the ball down the field. In a copy cat league protection is going to reach an all time premium.
Sorry about the wot. I get lax when I type on a phone.

You can't sit there and tell me that Reid and Dorsey are going to want to protect their veteran QB's blindside with a rookie who has never played a down in the NFL. Not after what he's been through in Philly.

The release of Eric Winston only makes me believe that we have his replacement in-house or we're going to sign a RT in FA that better suits this offense.

The top two RTs on that list are FAs.

Umm Reid never had the option of drafting the best LT in a strong LT class LMAO

no he did not

what he did instead was traded for the best LT in the NFL until that LT got hurt before the season started and ruined the entire season with a patchwork o-line pretty much

I agree with this. We have no idea what Reid/Dorsey have planned, but I highly doubt they will put Alex Smith into a vulnerable position given Reid's issue with the Philly OL last year. There's a reason Winston was let go.

I'm trying to look at it this way:

Albert was tagged and Winston was cut.

Right now, everything else is speculation.

tooge 03-07-2013 10:21 AM
All I'm saying is the same thing that Dorsey said. They have the flexibility to go in alot of directions. I'd love for them to work out a long term deal for Albert, move Stevenson to RT, and use the number one on Geno.

Having said that, I'd also be fine with Trading Albert for a mid first, drafting the best LT, and taking a QB in the middle of the first.

I'd also be fine with trading Albert for a first, picking up Andre Smith in FA, and using our two firsts for a QB and CB.

Point is, there are lots of options, none of which involve drafting a RT in the top 3 rounds.
