My point is simply that we need to recognize that sometimes it's on the player for not filling the hole. Sometimes its on the organization for needing him to fill a hole when he isn't ready(and drafted in a position where that is understandable).

If Ehinger proves not worthy of the starting role, the Chiefs have Zach Fulton and Jah Reid to fill the gap while Ehinger works to get online.
I'd rather see him on the field early, gaining experience and for the line to maintain continuity, rather than stunt his development by a year.
Growing pains and all.
