can always use o-line depth, let's see if this 7th round pick makes the roster.

He’s the next Dave Szott. Mark it down lol

Perfect name for an Italian chef.

I AINT ALLERGIC TO ALLEGRETTI!!!

Ooo paesano he cook the spaghetti!!

42 wonderlic score nice

Best pick of the day. Kid was very good. Experienced and a nasty, physical Blocker. Will be a starter next year if not by mid season this year. Guy will be in the league for a long time. Interior OL is exciting but I love this for a 7th round pick.

Apparently he was the 3rd best guard in the nation

He looks like someone that can play G or C. OL versatility is always great to have with injuries, etc.

I like beefing up our interior OL, because with Mahomes' mobility, he can escape an outside rush, but there's no escaping pressure that comes from the middle.

He's got some nasty.

Same body type as Richie Incognito

Yeah, a little bit of nasty up front to go with our speed is a good combo.

He would be the steal of the draft if you are right.

Looks like his specialty is Pancakes.

For real! Roadgrader.

Yo if thats the case, Im very happy!

One thing I noticed about our Oline is that they lacked that physical mean play and would get their shit turned inside out against mean nasty physical Dlines. I love the athleticism of our Oline but there needs to be that fine balance between athleticism and mean nasty physical play. He addresses what we lack and therefore Im rooting for him.

GTFO McKenzie!

Maybe Allegretti could teach Fisher a few things or two on how to be physical and nasty. Or is that something you can’t teach?

Will he end up at guard or center?

It will probably depend on how good Reiter is at Center. Also, Allegretti is listed at G on the Chiefs website, fwiw.

I for one, have high hopes for Nicky Boy Allegretti... he will kill his way to the top

Get him a drink, Spider...

How did he fall so far in the draft w/ those numbers? :eek: wow

He plays in a league loaded with physical front 7 defensive players also.

Meet your new Center!!

Love to know the answer to that.

My god in 4 years he played 1215 snaps. Only allowed a sack 4 times

Against Big 10 competition no less. I’m excited about this guy.

Reiter has competition

Best pick on day 3 by far. Excellent, excellent pick. Gonna love this kid.

I'm all for protecting Patty.

that's what I'm saying, what's the catch lol

Apparently he lacks foot speed to get out into space and struggles with stunts and twists.

Wow, our starting center!

Illini and football are not seen as a thing.

Well that seems dumb to spend one year turning him into a OL and then cut him before we even see if it worked.

The kid's going to be a Center, OG depth is logjamed

McKenzie is going to be a center?

Also I'd rather see what McKenzie can do considering on the depth chart last year Cam Erving was listed as the #2 at FOUR offensive line positions and sucked at all of them.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/kc

I qualify it better,the pizza boy Allegretti will be allocated at Center

Veach says he’s got a chance to compete for playing time.

Could be a battle between he and Reiter.

Good review here

https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2019/...d-on-day-three

If they could get him to start at center that’d be swell

If he were good at it I mean

Fatty lovers are getting moist! It's a CP fatty orgy!

Simply one of the greatest things football has ever given me.

I laugh every time I see it, even now. I think my favorite part is the guy standing there with his arms crossed looking pissed.

Yup. That dude cracks me up.

My favorite is the guy in the red hard hat in between the high-fivers. I don't know why he makes me laugh, but he does.

I am convinced that’s our own CPer... Milkman

I wonder what Sacc would think of our new Italian fatty? He's not from Utah so he'd probably want this guy to prove it first before showering him with hot, fatty goo praise.

Cause he doesn't know quite what to make of it even though both people in front of him are really jacked-up about it.

It's an amazing gif. The old Chiefs fan taking a picture in his overalls is the only other gif that might rival this.

What in the hell has this Road Grading Pancake Machine been doing on our damn bench?!?!? I haven't been this freaking hard in months!!! :whackit:

Allegretti played his ass off today.

Ideal left guard. Just a bulldozer. More playing time plz

When Allegretti plays, All I Getty are boners!!!!

Great game today. I loved how he would go over to hellaire after every run and pat him on the head.

ROAF sighting!

Allegretti got screwed on that call.

He bulldozed that sumbitch.

I was pleasantly surprised by our oline play. I had little hope especially after Schwartz we’ve down they did well.

Yeah on that play the Bills player was blown up so bad Allegretti fell over ontop of him because he rocked him so badly.

Even my 80 year old mom, who is oddly enough getting really into football after my dad died a couple of years ago, texted me wondering why that call was made. I told her the glare of excellence blinded the official!

This guy ****ing rocked!

Dude beasted tonight.

We starting this POS regularly yet?

Meh, what does Hall of Famer Willie Roaf know about blocking?

Nicky Boy is coming on strong, and we need some tough new blood... might be time to open up the books and bring him into Our Thing

He plays mean. I like it.

Thought Inmem played a helluva game

I was impressed. Never expected anything from him, but he really showed out.

If Allegretti would've stayed on his feet they wouldn't have called that. It's OK. He's still young.

Just like Ben Niemann! ROFL

Not having a preseason and the limited number of full contact practices probably hurt his chances of being discovered as a starter... I think he definitely proved he can play..
