Newbie here so pls be kind. My take is that Dorsey and Reid have said they want to change the culture in KC. By this move they have removed an individual that put KC in the media spot light in a negative way. In addition Reid is a passing coach and Winston was good at run blocking but not so much at pass blocking.

Sometimes yes. Like when the Pats let Seymore go. If you can get another first round pick for him, AND get the same guy with a higher cieling that is 6 years younger, with no injury history, and for half the cost, then you do it.

No one should forget this tool threw the fanbase under the bus. The National media had a field day bashing KC fan. Clark had to issue a public statement to defend us.....Whitlock wrote multiple columns to defend us.......Screw this tool.

How often did they trade away pro bowl level offensive lineman?

Here's how I fix the OL:
* keep Albert tagged while you try to ink him long term. * give Stephenson his shot at RT, given that he played decently last year in 6 starts. * re-up Patterson and Hochstein to solidify interior line depth for another year. * draft a tackle at solid value in the midrounds for depth. LT: Albert, draft pick LG: Allen, Hochstein C: Hudson, Patterson RG: Asamoah, Hochstein RT: Stephenson, draft pick |

I'd agree with you. Definitely more of a run blocker. If true guess Jamaal Charles may as well get use to being a receiving back ala Brian Westbrook or LeSean McCoy.... |

The NFL is all about value. How much can you sign a guy for vs. how much will he give you. Winston just was too much in the wrong direction on that equation. |

Seymour was 30 with 8 years in the league. Albert is 28 with 5 years in the league.

I thought we got Winston for fair market value, however, when we got him. So if Winston was healthy, this is a head-scratcher for me. We'll see, I guess. If he's starting for somebody next year, that'll answer that. |

Is there a good RT that excels at pass blocking in FA that could be gotten cheap?

THis is a unique situation for KC. NE wasn't in the top ten, and perhaps they didn't have an offensive lineman that was a probowler that was on up for FA at the same time as a solid LT was coming out, and there were good FA tackles available. You can't compare the two.
I'm simply stating a fact. That fact is this: If you have a LT that is 28 yo with a history of a back injury, and another team will give you a mid first round pick for him, and you have the first pick in the draft, with a very solid young LT coming into the draft, and you can get him at half the cost of the guy you currently have, you do it. Why wouldn't you? |
