Chiefs So what's going to be our OL? - Page 2

**RealSNR** · 07-22-2019, 03:47 PM

About the only thing anybody knows is that Fisher, LDT, and Schwartz are starting. The rest is a complete mess.

Wylie, McKenzie, Allegretti, and Hunter all have a good shot at that LG spot.

McKenzie is intriguing because he also was spotted playing a few C snaps during OTAs. I've been saying that from looking at him, because he can move well and he has tree trunks for legs that he might make a better C than G, but who really knows how much progress he's made in converting to OL.

Assuming, however, that Reiter (or darkhorses Allegretti or Murray) take the C spot, you now wrestle with the idea of trying to throw McKenzie off the deep end at starting LG, or do you go with Wylie even though his comfort is on the right side? I would mention Cameron Erving as a possibility, but the Chiefs out of nowhere brought in Jeff Allen last year to replace him (probably because even though he surpassed expectations, he still kinda sucked). It's apparent the Chiefs want McKenzie to try to take that LG spot, but if he's not ready or just won't amount to much as an NFL lineman, you clearly can't put him out there.

And who you chose at starter for LG and C obviously affects the depth, because you can't double up on certain guys with certain position flexibilities. If you go with Wylie at LG, that all of a sudden makes Hunter more valuable to make the squad because of his ability to possibly play tackle...

So pick some dudes, print your lottery ticket, and come crow in this thread at the end of August if you guessed the right combinations

Fisher, Wylie, Reiter, Dr., Schwartz is our starting 5 as of right now IMHO. I think Erving is our swing tackle. McKenzie will be our backup G and Allegretti is the backup C.

According to Reid he is our most athletic OL. Reid talks very highly of Reiter.

Fisher-Wylie-Reiter-LDT-Schwartz

6th man Irving

Young upside future interior, Allegretti and McKenzie

I think who gets hurt, and when decides on who plays. But having that veteran OL who’s played every position is clutch.

My interest will be at RG - Want to know who's taking over after LDT inevitably gets injured.
