Pff is far from perfect, but here are DJs pass blocking grades each year from PFF:

2023 68.4
2022 80.5
2021 65.5
2020 79.9
2019 76.3

Eric Fishers pass block grades

2021 61.0
2020 76.1
2019 74.2
2018 72.5
2017 75.4

If his knee is gtg, he can end up as our LT the next 2-3 years and make Mahomes great again.

Okay now that’s pretty encouraging — even as someone who is mostly anti-PFF, at least the controllable variables are the same there.

Seems it’ll just be a matter of if DJ can recover from his injury better than Fish did.

Fish had a torn Achilles (vs DJ’s ACL).

Harder injury to recover from.

I say we still sign Donovan Smith, you think he could be had for pretty cheap at this point? Really strengthen the depth at the LT position and allow Mahomes to look downfield more because he is missing wide open WR's as he is too preoccupied monitoring the pocket as he has no trust/is running for his life almost every passing play.

Anyone out there still going to try and tell me this was a “depth” signing?

Dude is starting the second he walks in the door.
