Lol exactly.

They’re going to give Niang a shot, he’s going to start at tackle or guard at minimum.

But his talent suggests he could be a long term starter at tackle so if he’s your RT, unless you are planning to cut Fisher (which isn’t necessarily feasible right now), then what’s the plan other than a stopgap?

No point in drafting an OT in the first if Fisher and Niang are the long term plan.

You'll have to excuse me if I'm not just pencilling in a guy coming off surgery to repair his hip, especially when we haven't gotten a chance to see how he's doing since he opted out.

Kelce is not going to be available. The Eagles are $40M over the projected cap and would eat $10M to cut or trade him.

Linsley is a possibility assuming they want to spend.

As for the draft, you just got done saying that relying on a guy that has never stepped foot in the building is a bad idea, but you want to spend multiple picks to get exactly that.

I'm sure you can understand how that doesn't make sense.

As long as it's not Niang. He's already a Chief so he must suck.

Yeah, the difference is Niang is coming off surgery to his hip. You can't just assume he'll be the same player after that.

And if you do that you’re also going to upgrade the interior. You already are upgrading RG going from Wylie to LDT.

Draft a couple of guys in the first 4 rounds, and you’re MUCH better off than you finished 2020.

Fisher was the #1 overall pick. How many sacks did he give up year one?

That was nearly 2 years ago now.

The entire point of redshirting was to give him even more time than necessary to get healthy to ensure he will be.

There’s no reason to think he isn’t healthy after all of this time.

Exactly. He hasn't played football in nearly 2 years. Just assuming he'll come in and be the same player pre injury is insane. That's why he dropped in the first place.

What’s your plan for both guard spots and the RT spot?

Assuming any player that hasn't played a down in the NFL to come in and play at a high level is asking for trouble. You have to have multiple plans in place.

Remember how much the pundits hated that we took Fisher over Joeckel? How did that turn out?

Just throwing draft picks at the problem isn't guaranteed to fix anything but it certainly will hinder their ability to address other issues.

They have to be smart about this.

let me just ask this question:

When the defense ruined the team's chances at a Super Bowl in 2018, what did Veach and Reid do?

Do you really think they're not going to address this, when the offensive line cost the Chiefs a Super Bowl in 2020? Or just some duct-tape and a prayer?

I don't.

Allegreti and LDT to start at Gs. Out of necessity Niang plays RT although that makes me pretty nervous. If Fisher can come back and play in the season then Fisher takes his LT spot, the rookie goes to RT, and Niang moves inside. Allegreti is a replacement level player and LDT is kind of a broke dick so there'll be room for him.
