Reading up on Schwartz there was this:

"DraftInsider.Net's Tony Pauline "(continues) to hear" the Jets will target OG Geoff Schwartz in free agency.
Schwartz is capable of playing both guard and tackle, but couldn't beat out RG Brandon Fusco for a starting job in Minnesota last season. Schwartz missed all of 2011 with a hip injury, but did start all 16 games for the Panthers at right tackle in 2010. He'd provide cheap, versatile depth for a Jets line that got a bad rap in 2012, but has insisted he has no intention of being a backup. Perhaps he could replace free agent LG Matt Slauson."

I'm sure there were other teams in play and KC offered him a legit opportunity to start, not to be a rotational backup. Love this move!

Has Go to Hell (GoChiefs) made an appearance in this thread to lament about the Alex Smith trade yet?

That's what he does best these days.

Albert is a good LT but he is not an elite LT which your 2nd rounder is a fair assessment. IF this year's draft had no real talent at LT then I would say we could get a 1st rd pick for Albert.

Yeah bish.

So, cross RT off the list.

Now we need a LG and a Pass Rusher.

Nice depth move

ChiefMojo · 03-15-2013, 08:12 AM

I would bet good money they are bringing him in to be a OG and not a RT. It is quite apparent the Chiefs view Allen as not a starter this point in his career. Much like Stephenson as the swing tackle, it might not hurt having a quality swing guard in Allen to back-up Schwartz and Asamoah. I know having that many quality OL is a new concept to us but Reid is big on his lineman.

I have to say this constant talk of Geno is still mind boggling... HE ISN'T GOING TO BE DRAFTED BY KC!!! Blast away but it makes no sense in bringing him in now when the organization seems totally committed to Alex Smith. We wouldn't pay the money we did for a back-up like Daniel if we were to still bring in Geno.

The way teams overpay for tackles I want a first

That's the beautiful part. It coud be anybody. Too bad it seems they don't like Smith or Barkley. But hey, maybe they do. Maybe they're being very quiet about their fave player in the draft?

Unless we draft him to trade him. If nobody offers fair compensation to move up to 1 that's absolutely what we should do. I bet teams would be willing then if they knew they weren't going to be able to get him at all.

Or we draft him to sit for a couple of years. Dorsey did it with Rodgers. It's not unheard of to sit a 1st round pick. In fact, maybe they think it's the smarter thing to do?

Just wishing....

This would be a pretty nice get. I'd imagine he'll be a reasonable add.

Though I'm with others - I don't think this is a RT pickup, I think he'll play RG (I could see Asomoah moving back to LG at that point). It's only a move to address tackle to the extent that it frees Allen up to possibly make the switch back to RT.

ArmyChief · 03-15-2013, 08:26 AM

Nice, get all the pieces they need to compete this year and win games then every draft pic will be for depth and for players to take over as the team ages. The head shed is doing a great job and Old Clark has opened up the piggy bank for Dorsey to do great things.

Well yeah, that would be my preference as well...but my gut says that isnt going to happen.
