Some of that is the Mahomes factor for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

However, I'm not sure why that's relevant. The reality is that we have Mahomes so the line is doing its job more often than not. |

We're a defending Super Bowl Champion team that looks like a good bet to run it back. Any and all weaknesses should be taken with a grain of salt. BUT- Mahomes' pocket awareness makes things look better than they are. Wylie and Reiter are below average. Both are pretty damned lousy as run blockers, and real mediocre as pass blockers. As we have the best player the game has maybe ever seen, I think investing some serious draft capital in keeping him healthy is really important going forward. Yeah, we're probably good enough to win it again. My concern is that Patrick stay healthy. |

If Mahomes didn't have such amazing pocket awareness, Andy's scheme would be very different. Reid tailors his offense to his offensive weapons and QB, which we've seen time and time again since he arrived in 2013. The 2014 offense with Alex Smith was completely different than the 2017 offense with Alex Smith because that year, the Chiefs had a seasoned Kelce, a 2nd year receiver in Hill, an amazing complimentary running back in Kareem Hunt and so on. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter whether or not the offensive line is filled with five 1st round draft choices or a mixture of UDFA's and draftees - Andy Reid will design an offense that's best suited to his personnel. |

Remmers has been a surprise. He has had some good performances against some good pass-rushers. Heck, I thought he'd get smoked by Crosby, but for the most part he held his own.
But the run-blocking has been up and down. Even in the same game. There are downs where Reiter and Wylie get destroyed, and others where they do a decent job. They're never great, but in some games they're serviceable. Overall, I think they're playing just well enough to get us to the SB. |

I don't think anyone is saying we want five 1st rounders on the OL. It's not a stretch to suggest maybe a bit more of an investment beyond UDFA or 6th/7th round picks would be helpful. |

The Chiefs have the #1 offense in terms of yardage and the #2 offense in points at 31.6 points per game, just behind the #1 Packers at 31.7 points per game. Enjoy the ride while it lasts. |
