Chiefs Sign Former Bucs LT Donovan Smith (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=348614)

Seems like the T's must be playing well, we haven't really heard much about Karlaftis or any of the DE's...

Karlaftis was literally mentioned along with Smith by AP as being one of the most impressive players the first couple days of pads.

I'm off the AP, hadn't heard much on twitter about it. Good news though.

I'd still like to add another DE/DL sometime soon

Dude is solid. Came on strong the last half of the year. He's gonna pock up right where he left off.

If we upgraded both tackle spots, holy shit Mahomes is going to have a career year.

Agreed. Hated this signing initially but it’s August and Staylor posted Smith winning a couple pass rushing reps the other day so my inner lil Chiefy is coming out. I’m ready to get hurt again!

In all seriousness, I hope the signing turns out well. He had a solid run with Tampa during their 2020 SB run so he can play well. If anyone can get the best out of him, it’s likely to be Reid and Mahomes.

What is it with you and the Adam Teicher style posts lately?

Been stressful around here, maybe I'm depressed. I dunno.

I liked the signing from the beginning I think.

He's a much better pass blocker than OBJ was. So that's all I really care about.

With better than average tackles to go with our solid middle of LG,C,RG, Pat will be in great shape to find our young recievers getting opened.

This season is going to be SO MUCH FUN!

I haven't been this excited since before the '18 season.

20-0

He was surprisingly good yesterday. If this is the guy we're getting, we'll have the best OL in the league.
