Depends on the cap hits.

Pretty much locks up everything but the center position and makes the line a strength.

Nice. But I guess that ends the Williams speculation

1) I scouted Thuney as a scouting student studying his 2018 film. He was a really, really good to great pass blocker based on my eval.

2) This seems awfully expensive still.

[OKchiefs]

After cutting two tackles and having nobody else at tackle but an unproven "rookie" who opted out I have to imagine they're still looking at a tackle, just not positive if that is Williams or not. Even if they just get Reiff that would seem to be a significantly upgraded left side of the line with LT Reiff and LG Thuney.

GOAT!! There is our LG

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Here is the summary I wrote on Thuney based on film from 2018. So keep in mind he is probably even better now.

Starting OG you can win with who would be at his best in a Pass heavy offense that leans on Stretch Zone Run schemes with Screens and PA Pass Protections to best utilize his very good athletic ability. He can also be an effective Puller and Kick-Out blocker. Lacks the play strength to excel in downhill blocking schemes.

[BossChief]

Watch Veach go get Williams now.

And draft a stud center

I really hope we are structuring the deal with Trent right now and this wasn’t option 2...

[staylor26]

Man I really hope we can still get Williams or this will feel a little disappointing

[Hoover]

Contract probably has a big roster bonus next season..

I love it. He's played center right? And Tackle, Curious to know where they plan to plug him in.

Finally! The Chiefs have a great left guard for the first since Waters retired.

Man I really hope we can still get Williams or this will feel a little disappointing

The Chiefs haven't had a solid, let alone spectacular, left guard since Brian Waters retired.

Thuney will automatically improve the center and left tackle positions because he's just so freaking good, so it may not be necessary to go all in on Williams.

Florio says 5 years, $80 million.

But judging from the anger from other fanbases we did well

[wheeler08]

So I’m not as smart as some of you. But why did we pay a ton of money to a guard when we have glaring holes at 2 tackles and a center? I thought Allegreti was serviceable.

[KChiefs1]

Yup it’s on ESPN now. Done deal.

Silverback and Thuney?

Draft a center snd lets fucking go


Quinn Meinerz

[BossChief]

That’s exactly where I’m at.

Thuney is a stud...but Silverback is a future HOFer.

I don't disagree but I think that the left side of the line just got a huge upgrade, so if they decided to go with Reiff or trade for Dillard, the left side will be in the best shape it's been since I can't even remember when.

Entirely possible the Chiefs felt they wouldn't be able to pry Williams away from the 49ers and quickly pivoted to Thuney.

Gotta trust Veach whatever it is and it's exciting to have a great player on the interior OL for the first time in forever.

Indy has a ton of cap space and has an immediate need at LT.

[duncan_idaho]

Thuney is the second best lineman in FA, no? Right there with anyone behind Williams.

Thuney gives them some flex. Probably easier to get along with a rookie at LT if you have a veteran stud next to him. They also can still pursue a veteran upgrade at LT.

Shit, depending on how it's structured, they might even be able to still pursue Williams, too.

Trade for Dillard would be great. I am curious to see what Prince Wago can do too however I get it if they don't wanna risk Pat's blind side to a 6th round pick who they grabbed off the scrap heap.

Come on guys, wie didn´t need a guard...

You’re right. We need 2 guards.

Remmers needs to never see the field for the Chiefs again.

Remmers and Aligretti are the only linemen who even showed up for the Super Bowl, broski.

[mkp785]

You always need pro bowl players regardless of position.

Plus, this allows us to move Allegretti to center. Improves 2 spots at the same time.

Rumor is he’s heading to the Chargers.

You a Chargers fan?

[tmax63]

With a guard like Thuney you could go with a lesser LT if things don't work out getting Williams. I see Allegretti moving to center where the Chiefs originally drafted him to play.
LT? - Thuney - Allegretti - LDT - Niang/Remmers winner. That's the start of a good/really line.

Having a consummate pro next to a rookie LT is about the smartest thing you could do to protect your QB. I'm not advocating for a rookie LT but putting a stud next to him would be a 16mil/yr alternative to a 20-22mil/yr LT especially if the Chiefs have someone they really like in the draft.

Meh.

Would have preferred Silverback.

[BossChief]

Part of the value Thuney brings is he can play almost any OL position. LG is his best position but he played a lot of tackle last year. It gives us flexibility to keep adding to the OL and not having to worry about the position they are best at.

If we add Silverback, this will have been an elite FA period regardless of what other moves we make.

Another reason this is a critical piece in the next phase of our offense is that it allows Mahomes to actually exist in the pocket for more than 1 second without having to sprint out, scramble, or drop 15-18 yards.

If we can actually develop a pocket, it will limit the effectiveness of the opposing edge-rushers because the angles will be more favorable to our Tackles.

Look at the best Saints teams. They had two of the best guards in the game, and prevented pressure from up the middle. Gave Brees a comfortable pocket. Good guards can affect outside rush, simply by allowing the tackle to ride the rusher over the top while the pocket is clean.

If we had a badass LT as well? Damn

EDIT:

I shouldn't have said best Saints teams, but at least the ones circa 2010, when they had Nicks and Evans at guard

[RealSNR]

If we don't land Williams, at this point I'd rather just draft another OT, see how things go, and experiment with kicking Thuney out to LT for a season. Would be pretty meh on Reiff. I've seen a bunch of Vikings games, and Reiff makes me soft.

"But with a great LG..."

Brian Waters wasn't enough to make Jordan Black not a huge giant piece of shit. Reiff isn't Jordan Black-level bad, but I wouldn't call him a big upgrade from replacement level. He's as meh as it gets, and if I could have Fisher on his old contract or Reiff on a cheaper deal, I'd rather have Fisher. Injury recovery and all.

[louie aguiar]

I’m going ok if we’re overpaying if it means better protecting Mahomes. Now go get a tackle.

[In58men]

Thuney at NC State per (Patriots.com)-Did not allow a sack in 589 snaps during 2015 ACC play from his left tackle spot.

[ntexascardfan]

Give me Sam Cosmi in the first this year.

LT: Cosmi
LG: Thuney
C: Allegretti
RG: LDT

That's going to get the job done. The left side of the line could be elite in pass pro, especially on play action.

there's nothing surprising about the projected Williams numbers. Thuney was not a consolation prize.

Veach has decided he's sick of bullshit play on the offensive line and is going whole ass on the problem.

A sure fire can’t miss LT...there might be only one in this draft & that’s probably in the top 5 picks.

[BossChief]

What’s more likely:

Signing Trent Williams to protect Pats blindside

Or

Drafting an OT at 31 (or trading up for one) to start right away to protect Pats blindside in an offense that thrives when the QB has time to find the open receivers


I will be shocked if Silverback isn’t a Chief when it’s all said and done.

So where do we rank Brett Veach as greatest GMs of all time??

If he gets Williams, build him a statue.

[KChiefs1]

Thuney’s cap hit this year is $4.5 million.


Plans on dumping Frank Clark’s salary after the 2021 season.

Yeah Williams has to be their main target with that structure.

[T-post Tom]

Thuney allowed two sacks in 2020, one in 2019 and zero in 2018, per PFF numbers. He also went 16 games in 2019 without being flagged once.

:clap:

Gotta spread the credit around.

Clark Hunt writing checks that are breaking necks! Without him signing those big signing bonuses, we wouldn’t have the cap flexibility year in and year out to bring in top talents with minimal initial cap hits.

We probably still have come to 30m in cap space, right?

A underrated person in the KC Chiefs organization is Brandt Tillis

How anyone would bitch about Clark Hunt is beyond me.

I saw one report say we had 38 this morning, so that would have us at 33.5 available.

And keep in mind, we still (apparently) haven't adjusted Kelce, or extended Tyrann yet. Or Hill.

We got ammo if we need it.

Mahomes can nail receivers falling on his dick parallel to the ground, can only imagine how dangerous he would be in a clean pocket.

Who has bitched about Clark?? Dude is one of the best owners in all of sports

[Easy 6]

Entirely possible the Chiefs felt they wouldn't be able to pry Williams away from the 49ers and quickly pivoted to Thuney.

Gotta trust Veach whatever it is and it's exciting to have a great player on the interior OL for the first time in forever.

Its absolutely great to snatch up a legit All Pro, but dang man we're still needing that blindside bodyguard...

[RealSNR]

His "game knowledge" or whatever you want to call it is going to skyrocket this year. From an already high level.

He's going to learn how to use CEH and the other RBs in the passing game more effectively now.

In addition to all of the other badass shit he was doing before.

It's game fucking over, NFL. Thanks for playing.

I'm a big TwistedChief fan but he's wrong on this one.

The timing of the Thuney signing suggest he was their target from the beginning. He wasn't plan B or anything of the sort.

They're still working on the tackle position but make no mistake, the timing of this deal suggest Thuney was their prime target all along.

At one point, it most certainly felt like that lol.
