There's not a chance that Smith will start at Right Guard before Kyle Long or LDT, unless of course it's due to injury and even then, I'd expect Veach to sign a veteran before throwing Smith out there after last season's offensive line woes.

The Chiefs had similar offensive line woes in 2014. They threw Fulton out there but sat LDT. It was the last year the Chiefs missed the playoffs and the line was so bad that there were no TD's by a WR all season long.

Remember when we first drafted Mahomes and some people thought he was fat?

Yeah... Niang ain't exactly Ryan Sims. He'll be fine.

Smith is a bigger, longer guy and Nick won't get bigger so Smith is ahead there. I think they're both gritty, tenacious guys that aren't super nimble or athletic. Good run blocking, decent pulling, but get them to the second level and they look like infant giraffes.



I'm excited about Smith's development and think he's a steal. Barring catastrophe, he won't start this year. Next year, if he's installed, you have to like the balance along the line with strong run and pass blocking at various points.

Turns out I wasn't really wrong. You were clamoring for it too by the end of the season. I just had better long term vision that you. :D

And here. I just find it interesting and surprising. I'm not advocating he start. You just put those words in my mouth.

They'd move Thuney, Wiley, or Remmers to RG before Smith gets a chance this year.

^ This draft looks like a grand slam!

:rolleyes:

Yep, or Allegretti or someone else with experience.

Look people, Tennessee is not the Tennessee of the past. They are 10-24 in the past 4 years in SEC games.

If his blood clotting issue is under control, Smith has serious upside but even then, he's not an NFL starting guard right now, especially on a team with Super Bowl aspirations.

Here is a thread from November of 2017. And I will tap out at this point.

Good grief I hate Petro's stupid COVID vaccination questions.

You still don't get it.

From the moment Mahomes was drafted, you were claiming that he was ready to start. You continued that all throughout Minicamps and Training Camp. You stated it every single week of the season and would not shut up about it.

When I made that post, the Chiefs were in the middle of a 4 game losing streak. They looked finished for the season (and for all intents and purposes, they were finished for the season). At that point, there was absolutely nothing to lose.

That is very different than what you posted for months and months and months and months.

And no, Trey Smith is not going to start Week 1 unless the Chiefs endure catastrophic injuries, again.

Powell was talked about by Louis Riddick so we know that our staff thinks highly of him. He was on the Chiefs social media today, had a sweet one handed catch (in my pic below) and I even heard on the news that “the rookies performed we in their first action, most notably Cornell Powell who stood out according to the team.”

Not trying to hype him up but he seems a bit different from the recent WR’s we’ve drafted lately. I think this guy could be a contributor in the second half of the season.

He’s turned into such a tool.

Such a whinny bitch and basically runs a trivia show now.

Unless LDT and Long are washed up or injured, Smith will not be the game 1 starter. If those 2 are good to go, Wylie probably won't be with the team.
