Dorsey hit on some young castoffs like Cooper. He very may well have done it again.
G is probably the position of lowest positional value, and they seem to think this guy can do. I'm very interested in seeing if they are right.
G isn't like T. Sometimes all you need is JAG at those positions.

Between Kush, Rokevius Watkins, and Rishaw Johnson, we need for one of those guys to hit to neutralize losing Schwartz. I'm fine with those chances and it's even possible that one of those guys also unseats Allen or Hudson. And agree... worst case scenario, you have a bad Guard. Least of my worries.

But they're banking on a lot of young unproven guys.

This is literally what the Steelers and Packers have done for so long.

Dorsey has a ton of confidence. He's got balls. I'll give him that.

I don't see a problem with that. And one of those guys, like Commings, has to be a shade above terrible to be an upgrade over Kendrick Lewis. The only guy we should worry about is Eric Fisher, and there's lots of reasons to believe he won't be as bad as people think he'll be.

With his ability to play center and the fact that he's bulked up this offseason, Kush will end up being the swing guy inside

No, not quite.

They had guys with a little more experience to step in.

Just as there are as many reasons to think he will be just as bad as some think.

They're banking on getting solid production from at least 4 guys right now, at pretty important spots none the less, who haven't really ever produced anything.

Pretty risky

Agreed.
I'm willing to give the guy a chance before shitting on him though, being the only sample we have is a positive one.

So what do we do with Eric fisher?

beach tribe 03-26-2014 09:23 PM

I see no reason, considering they do draft well, which is what our success hinges on that we can't pick up some viable competition at G in round 5 on.

Let them play. If they can't play get rid of them. Stockpiling backups that everyone's high on as long as they're not guaranteed to play is stupid.

Actually, from all I've read, this years class gets pretty thin at guard after about the 3/4 round

2014 will be disastrous. We actually have to play a legit schedule this year

Some great observations on this post, but I think we should all keep one thing in mind. Dorsey has a very smart football mind. He gets up everyday and thinks, "how can I make the Chiefs a better football team". We all get up and go do our job and get home and crap ourselves about what hasn't been done. As I said before we really only lost one guy I would have kept, Schwartz. Other than that, with the depth of talent in this years draft, we are going to get some good players out of it. Talented veterans are going to be cut due to money issues and we'll have an opportunity to go after them.

Reid is a good football coach and knows what he needs to build a winning football team. We got a QB that showed us all he has brass balls and is willing to do what he has to to win. The playoff loss was not on Alex. With a good QB and Jammal Charles, adding a couple of decent receivers and a CB and safety we should be in decent shape. No we didn't go after the BIG names like Dungver but I didn't want to. You don't spend the future of your team for short term victory, we were not that close anyway. Dorsey and Reid are doing it the right way, through the draft and waiting for the right veterans to be cut and they will make their move. Guys have a little faith. We finally have a good front office that has knowledge of what we need. Chill and enjoy the off season We just might be really good next year, maybe not win as many games based on the tough schedule, but we will be a better team. Just my 2 cents.
