As far as tackles go, I'm not sure there's ANY "can't miss" talent in this draft. Even Sewell has question marks after he went through his pro day. Slater is probably the most likely success of the bunch and many think he'll end up inside.

It's all risks.

Fisher hasn't played 16 games plus the postseason in a few years either, and chances he's near 100% in September are no sure bet. Schwartz is no guarantee to not have continuing problems; back problems with the big boys is usually not something that gets better.

Okung hasn't played a full season in awhile.

Williams played a full season last year, but hadn't in awhile.

I mean all of the options carried risks.

It might be why they signed veteran OG's and a C. IF you were going to roll with essentially rookies at OT, you'd want crusty vets next to them.

I'm not saying I think I'm for that, I'm just saying IF they were going to, then they've built the interior the right way to help.

Oh I’m fine with it if that’s what they want to do. I mean for all we know they could want Walker Little. Let him get back into things with Niang at LT and Remmers at RT to start the season and then ease Little into either spot.

Here is yet another analyst mirroring what I've been saying about this draft. THIS is why there's NO WAY I'm trading up for a LT.

Walker Little is the player I am interested in. Where do you all think he will be picked? By all accounts he has the highest upside of all the tackles in the draft but hasn't played since 2018.

Is it just me or does he not look out of shape here, see video below? I’m not sure he’s been “training per Chiefs instructions” if he’s winded from getting in his sets... his lower body looks really skinny and he looks fat and soft in the upper body. This video screams red flags to me on conditioning.

I agree with this. No way little or brown goes in the first. Our desperation has caused cp to elevate LTs.

Is it just me or does it seem like everybody went from “Cosmi isn’t making it to 31” to forgetting about him all together?

He only ranks 4 LTs as first round talents.

With info from various media outlets it has been revealed that the 33.5 inch and above arm length metric is detrimental to how they evaluate immediate OT starters out of the draft.


The 33.5 inch+ arm length issue is like the 6'2 height marker for QBs

I think they’d be more likely to sacrifice less than half an inch for a guy that’s 6’7” and extremely athletic.

height is only important in that it normally comes with long arms. Being tall with short arms doesn’t help.

do you just exist to bitch about everything?

My point was more about his size/frame in general along with his rare athleticism.

His arms are literally just under the 33.5 inch mark. It’s not that serious. If the only think keeping you from drafting him is less than half and inch, you’re overthinking it.
