We should be looking for a RT here, and a LT in the draft. For that reason, I might look at a guy like Backus...

There's enough starters (but not superstars) on that list that they shouldn't be too expensive. I would target guys who have started at LT like Backus, Shelton, Pearson, or Shaffer, then hope that Sampson, Parquet, or Svitek develops into a reliable starter at RT.

Oh I'm with you on drafting a LT, but it would be nice if he had someone to compete against in case Roaf retires, which I believe he will. It would just seem all to likely for us to draft a LT, then have him come into training camp behind Jordan Black, that is a scenario I would like to avoid all together.

If Roaf retires sign a vet for the next season and maybe in 07 Svitek is ready to play.

Isn't Shelton the one Arizona was trying to pawn off on someone in the off season because he was considered a bust?

I want the Chiefs' off-season strategy to focus on succeeding in '07, not '06. Whatever they do, they should take that into account.
Next year is a rebuild.
