"The way it looks now back-up Geoff Schwartz ... will likely sign elsewhere."

[Direckshun]

So says the guy who runs draftinsider.net, Tony Pauline, talking to people all week at the Combine:

Kansas City Chiefs:

I'm told Branden Albert may not be the only veteran offensive lineman out the door in Kansas City. The way it looks now back-up Geoff Schwartz, who received heavy interest at the combine, will likely sign elsewhere.

Follow Tony Pauline @TonyPauline.

He's also reporting the rumor that the Raiders want to try to re-sign McFadden, but they are unlikely to pull it off.

Using last years draft as a barometer for anything is an exercise in futility. Before last year, there was an average of 1.3 guards taken in the first round since 1980.

We're not Arizona, jackass. In fact, we're the complete OPPOSITE. Last year our opening day offensive line contained not a single soul acquired from another team or drafted later than the 3rd round. Both tackles were first round picks, and one of them was the #1 overall.

We've spent PLENTY of ****ing draft stock on offensive line. It's time to make shit work.

[Bowser]

If our first pick this year isn't a receiver, safety, tight end, or pass rusher, I'm going to club baby seals.

You are right it was a rather odd/bad year. But thank you for proving my point in that it is not rare for a G to be drafted in the first round.

I do not want OLine. I want a pass rusher with our first.
I do however see it very possible for the Chiefs to draft OL. If we lose Asamoah, Schwartz, and Albert in FA then it increases the likely hood even more.

You gotta link for that stat, cause that does not sound right to me.

yea it's right I just counted, I got 1.6, but I also counted the drafted tackles converted to guards and still the deviation is that low. Guards seem to have been on dry spells in the late 80s/early 90s when it was vogue to take RBs and stuff and there was a run in the 00s where like nobody took a guard. I used NFL.com for this.

The Chiefs need to keep Schwartz. Dont really care about Albert and especially Asuckamoa.

[tecumseh]

If we lose Albert, Asamoana and Schwartz it seems like we would lose a year in this rosters window.

Yeah, watching the Chiefs fail year after year is so much fun. That will show those guys!

Arizona has drafted linemen high.

I'm sure Charles would LOVE to be able to WALK when he's 50. They're running his ****ing legs off.

I read yesterday that the Saints are reportedly open to trading Sproles. How sick would that be? I'm not sure if we could pull that off but it would be cool. Maybe our first for Sproles and their second or something?
