This pretty much guarantees he's going to thrive as our RT.

Ruined orgasm.

The DL is deep this draft, possible we get both!

1. Everyone needs to calm down about the money, things like OTs cost some money. He's 25 and athletic.

2. I he's a LT and he's good its a steal. If he struggles a bit or the Chiefs draft or trade for a LT, then we have an all world line and we are really only playing Thuney and this dude for the next two seasons.

3. I ****ing hate people who cry about missing out on comp picks.

4. Taylor is has to be more flexible on position than "I'm only a LT OBJ was."

Rock hard baby!

"arms"

thats what she said

I still can't see Niang as completely brokedick. He had a hip injury late in college and a knee injury after healing up from the hip. There's a metric shit-ton of guys in the NFL that had a college injury AND a knee injury. I'm sure the brain trust has back-up plans for the T position just like all the others and they've earned our trust with 2 SB in 4 years.

Well I think Veach knows what he's doing so I'll trust their judgment on this one.

He's going to have to get rid of the Jaguars tat on his leg tho

Tentatively I like this. Seems like a modest upgrade and we are still 25 years old at that spot.

WBF

"His calves are too small"

/butt****ing morans

I hope.

I was wrong about Veach, hopefully I’m wrong about Niang as well.

We will cover it up with tape

what a ****ing athlete

Those are RT numbers but who gives a shit.

BART VARCH!!!

*rape

People forget Niang played pretty well most of the 2021 season before getting hurt at the very end of regular season.

I bet Veach drafts another tackle as an insurance policy for Niang. Maybe rd 3 or 4

LMAO

Pressures allowed in 2022:

Taylor: 16
OBJ: 47

Id like to see OBJ do that

****in A!!!!!!!

Ugh.

Watch OBJ go out and get less than what he was offered with the Chiefs.

hoping for Dhop…but it’s probably a CJ extension

4 year starter at RT for the Jags. Last year was the first year he put up better than average pressure numbers. Not too far off top 10 but 20M APY?

So you're either going to pay a RT 20M or move a guy to LT that's never played there and pay him...20M, when he was projected at about 17.

Narrator: he was wrong

LT money - At least that side of line is covered for four years.. We got what we needed from OBJr

Good luck fam!

Well this is a very interesting middle ground between trading for Tunsil and overpaying that sack of shit OBJ. This team doesn't mess around. You want to be here, great. You don't, see you the next time we kick the ever loving shit out of whatever garbage organization that overpays you.

$20 million a year for a LT is a steal if this works out. Looks like this will truly be a new position for him, though. He played 17 snaps at LT in the pros and only 2 games in college.

Might have a few issues early on, but if they believe he can do it then so be it, I'm on board. This is actually perfect, I didn't want OBJ back, and as much as I love Tunsil I did not see them giving up those picks and that money.

On to the next one!

CJ extension would open more room, not less

I've stuck with believing he and his agent are idiots for turning down the Chiefs offer last year. He'll get paid, maybe even reset the market this year, but it won't be for a team that is QB'd by Patrick mf'ing Mahomes.

And what about the Obama tattoo visible at 0:26 of the video clip? :D

Our GM didn't build this team with a bunch of top 5 picks. We actually know what we're doing,

Just a reminder that Orlando Brown Jr was rumored to want $25 million APY last year.

No ****ing way man

KC just won the SB with a LT that had never played a full season there before we got him so.......

Now go back and read the bolded part again a few times.

Yeah, as much as I wanted him back when he forced our hand it was over for Veach.

Jawaan Taylor just needs to come in and become a great LT.

charger killer

We'll just cut the leg off entirely and give him the Six Million Dollar Man leg attachment.

His entire leg will be covered in tape

If there's any position group I'm giving Reid and Veach the benefit of the doubt on, it's OL.

He's really young for his experience though. That's a huge plus.

He's 25 years old too........

YOUNG TALENT

Wow, the athleticism difference between him and OBJ is insane

I like that we went for an ascending player instead of the premium priced established elite one, or the safe/overpaid choice.

We need to think in dynasty paradigms now and this move fits it. You stay at the top by making moves like this and hitting on them, not by busting your cap on free agent signings.

I'm sure Tunsil would have been great, but this has more upside.

This is what scouting does for you, clearly Chiefs think he can play LT. And knew they could lock him down for 4+ years at a steal for LT.

Now its time for coaching to come in and make sure this kid transitions.... Considering we just did it with OBJ, I'm imagining we have the coaches to make it work.

Why does PFF lists him as such an abhorrent run blocker, though? I usually wouldn't put much stock in those grades but it's just abysmally low.

Shit, they've got the benefit on the doubt on every group and player going forward until we hit rock bottom again. Want to sign Townsend to a 100 million dollar deal? Great, in Vichey I trust.

This is potentially a big upgrade over OBJ. He actually has the athleticism and feet to play the position, and OBJ didn't, which is why he struggled and always will struggle against speed.

I hope OBJ enjoys playing for winter break in Chicago because it won't be for the playoffs.

It's basically the Eric Reid mold of a player. It's the smart way to do FA. I like it.

nice

It's not his strength. And I literally don't give a shit about it.

When i first heard hes moving to left, i freaked out a tick. But Andy and Co. watched tape on him twice this year and played against him twice. I'll trust their judgement.

On one hand, I'm upset they didn't trade a first rounder for TUnsil

On the other....we still have a first round pick to trade....

I don't know, but the Jags ran the ball well last year, so it didn't keep them from doing that either way.

I'd imagine run blocking will be easier on the left side too. Usually smaller guys at RDE/ROLB.

pretty sure the jags run a different blocking scheme than we do

he might be way better in our zone scheme

Hes going to be playing next to an accomplished vet too....

Our O-Line pass blocking just improved, and we like to run RIGHT anyways (Trey side)

So basically he excelled in pass protection under the same offensive system as he does here.

Sounds like a good pickup to me.

2 or 3 years from now when the tackle market is at 35mm a year we wil be very glad to have this kid. He has all the tools to be a fantastic pass blocker. Put him next to Thuney for a year or two and he'll figure it out pretty quick.

that guy's athleticism just jumps off the tape

the offense is going to open up a lot more now

Doesn't matter though. This team has hosted an AFC record five straight AFCCGs, been to three of the last four SBs, and won two. They have earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the draft and FA regardless of what PFF says about a player.

DeAndre Hopkins! PFF rated him good last year

Brandin Cooks to KC, will it O!

It's not the end all be all, but the grade is a baseline for not knowing what to expect.

No way the Cardinals are getting a 2nd round pick. If Veach can get him for a 3rd or 4th....****ing do it.

So it sounds like Taylor and OBJ are complete opposites?

Taylor, a great pass blocker but bad run blocker

OBJ, a solid pass blocker but pretty good run blocker?

It may seem a bit pricey, but the Chiefs got their guy. I’m completely fine with them overpaying by 10% to get the guy they want.

his tape vs bosa is really good

You have OBJ wrong. He's a great run blocker but a good pass blocker. And Taylor isn't bad at run blocking. It's just not his strength.

Yes.

LMAO Yeah, that's quite a bit faster than old OBJ would move.

I was joking big dog

We have ALL of our future 1st round picks. That has to be driving you crazy. Maybe we could trade 2 of them for someone!?

PFF is irrelevant. Go away already you bugeyed bitch.

I'm not. Give the Cardinals a 4th. **** Juju.

Look if his pass sets are X times better, that is what Reid was looking for. Which makes me think we are not done.

I have a feeling this leads to us making a splash for a WR. Because we plan on letting Mahomes cook next year.

This guy was starting against NFL pass rushers at 21? Good lord.
