Winston + over Richardson
Hudson + over Weigmann

Add in another year of experience by Asamoah.

I think this is probably a very excellent offensive line, and it may, and I emphasize MAY rival the O-line during Vermeil's era, but that's just my opinion.

No, because the gap between 2 HOFers and none is gargantuan.

The best player on our line is on Waters' level.

BUT, it's MORE than good enough for us to be good on offense if the QB doesn't suck.

While yes, Roaf and Shields were HOF caliber, I was emphasizing that this line still can get better than Vermeil's O-line because this line is incredibly young.

Asamoah is 24. Albert is 27, Winston is 28, Hudson is 23, and Lilja is 30. And I agree with Dane that once Allan becomes starter (replacing Lilja), I think with this O-line being together for years, and luck has it them staying healthy for the majority of their careers, they will possibly be the best line in KC.

Once Allen is a starter, this O-line should rival the 2003 line, but for years, instead of one year.
