Chiefs have an OT in the building!
 

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Chiefs staying busy, visiting today with Vikings free-agent OT Geoff Schwartz, whom they are expected to sign.

!!!!!!

Ooh wow. That would be a game changer if he signed.

W00t

This guy is 6'6" 340 lbs. Damn he's huge.

Wait... is he good?

Can he play tackle?

The illustrious words of Bill Parcells." Only a few people on the planet weigh 300 pounds and can actually move. When you have a chance to get one, you do it". Let's do this.

This is the only thing I can really find on this guy

9. Minnesota Vikings (7)

PB – 13th, RB – 6th, PEN – 8th

Stud: It might not be the coolest thing to say, but there’s no denying that over the past two years the best center in the league has been John Sullivan (+27.3).

Dud: The Vikings made a big mistake in keeping Brandon Fusco (-11.8) in the starting lineup when they had better options on the bench.

Summary: The only criticism of this line is that Geoff Schwartz didn’t get nearly enough playing time. That aside, what more could you want from this line? They kept their quarterback upright, and in Sullivan and Phil Loadholt they have two of the most punishing run blockers in the league at their positions. Trending upwards, with rookie left tackle Matt Kalil being exactly as advertised.

Well if it's a criticism that he didn't get enough play time, he must be pretty good. Sounds like he has some talent.

At the rate Dorseid are signing these players, the #1 pick is going to be a luxury pick.

He was competing at RG in Minny.

Exaxctly...as will every draft pick for years to come. So smart.

This guy also plays RG so don't get too excited.

In fact most of his starts have been there. He hasn't played RT in awhile.

Why does he sound familiar? We're we after him last year?

Unfortunately, i've resigned myself to the fact that if we are stuck at #1 and can't trade down, we will be taking one of the OT. Hopefully we trade down about 3 times, gather some picks and end up with someone like Austin or Patterson around pick 13.

If he's playing G, I would imagine he's replacing Jeff Allen.

Jeff Allen was got raped hard last year.

Asamoah is RG. Have to believe they view him as RT. Let me have this hope damn it.

Could be moved into the left guard spot, right? Or his more natural right tackle? Doesnt matter, it looks as if we are getting some good quality players added to this team, fighting for starting spots or offering much needed depth, which we havent had for quite some time. If this guy can stay healthy, a very good addition.! IMO

Yes

He'd be Kansas City's right tackle.

Would love this signing. Big dude. He's also a great follow on twitter (very funny) and he's one of an extremely small number of Jewish players in the NFL.

The Chosen Lineman!

Reid is calling all the shots. If Dorsey was a true protege of Thompson, he wouldn't be making all these FA moves. GB didn't sign a single player this FA if I am not mistaken. This is unhealthy.

@PFF_Khaled: Geoff Schwartz could prove nice pick up for Chiefs. Vikings averaged 6.7 yards per carry with him at RG, and 4.7 with Fusco.

Was Woodson a FA?

Geoff Schwartz ‏@GeoffSchwartz76
Haven't but I'm comfortable in my left stance RT @VikingsFanPage: Have you ever played LG or are you most confident at RG? Just curious.

Watched him play here in Carolina. Solid OL - imagine he would play guard freeing up Allen to move to RT.

Albert - LT
Allen/Stephenson - RT

#1 pick - ???

GB tried to sign Steven Jackson but lost out to Atlanta.

Your Schwartz is as big as mine

May the Schwartz be with you

Sorry couldn't resist love Spaceballs

hmm. RT would be great. Might be a backup swing lineman/insurance policy for Allen

Great news. Plug him at RT, sign Albert long term. Draft the BPA #1 overall.

Geoff Schwartz @GeoffSchwartz76
When am I not? RT @NickHannula: I have a league source that says you're craving a burrito right now

ROFL

I'm telling you - follow this guy on twitter.

Andy loves him some big O-linemen.

Question > Answer

Good lord.

Reid is remaking this team at light speed.

I'm feeling dizzy. Not used to the Chiefs being aggressive in FA.

It's clear to me they're going with a power blocking scheme, no?

Maybe a couple of guys we have on the roster don't fit.

And that might actually rule out Joeckel, since he isn't a mauler?

Am I stupid?

Which is why more mocks have been switching to Fisher instead of Joeckel.

We have guys on our roster but many of them (Stephenson, Allen, Hudson, Asamoah) are unproven and have questions.

Yes.

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Nothing not to like here. He hasn't played many snaps the rest of his career.

I talked to a Panthers nut I know when we were looking at him last year. He played RT in college and started there with Carolina, but during the 2010 season they moved him to RG because the previous RG sucked. Then he missed 2011 with an injury.

So a year ago the only guard experience he had was however many games he had there in 2010 after they moved him. Since we'd signed Winston, it didn't seem likely we wanted him at RT. But his resume at guard was awfully small. But if he played guard for the Vikings then presumably he could do either.

Well, this cleared up nothing.

Albert/Schwartz/Hudson/Asamoah/Fisher

That would be an interesting line for sure.

We also lack depth. Severely

Albert
Hudson
Allen
Asamoah
Stephenson
Hochstein
Mattison
Durand
Lilja
Patterson
Ranglin

Listen, we're trying to get a handle on this thing../through the mustache

Well, if this guy is our starting RT, at least it shows Reid isn't a dumbass who wants to reach for/overpay a RT.

It also might indicate a very good reason why Winston was dumped...simply doesn't fit a power blocking scheme.

They were just in Oregon yesterday for the pro day. Gotta wonder if they are giving Dion Jordan a look at #1 since our pass rush sucks ass.

Yeah connecting the dots it kind of makes sense

Dion Jordan was injured. They werent looking at him. They were looking at Kyle Long.

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout
OG Geoff Schwartz is visiting Kansas City today.

JFC this guy just won't come off it. He thinks we're drafting an OT no matter what we do. I hope we draft someone else just to make him look bad.

& Kiko Alonso

Yea in the later rounds for ILB depth.

I would love Kyle Long but I think he'll be long gone by the time we pick in round 3.

You don't send the HC, GM, and a large contingent of the defensive staff for Kyle Long....sorry.

Well Dion Jordan didnt even do anything at his Pro Day. He sat out.

jeez....Dorsey isn't fididdling around in FA.

Could be a smoke screen

All this FA activity is great. It's almost like..... They care!

Cautiously optimistic

Yep they also had a defensive player in here 2 nights ago and it wasnt Sean Smith.

He met with Reid...I'm sure they all spoke with him and went over film, grilled him, etc.

I'd be surprised if it was for any other reason...

I sense Clark hunt is telling him he can build for the future, but he has got to start winning games now. I am ok with that philosophy and don't feel like we've made a lot of deals that are going to destroy our long term cap. These moves really just buy Dorsey time to build through scrappy moves future forward.

Hes bringing in players of need and picking depth in the draft it looks like. Hell if Geno is bpa than hes the pick.

If Schwartz is our RT.....

HOW CAN THEY NOT TAKE GENO?

I MEAN **** DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

or trying to fill out a roster before the draft so they can draft the BPA like they said they would

Just the thought of it.....

Yes, we should keep our 2-14 team the same as it was last year. :spock:

Alex Smith 8.5m

Chase Daniel 3.5m

That's how.

Well crap, if he isn't going to play many snaps the rest of his career, we don't need him!

Great. Him and Abdullah are going to have it out in training camp

I think Reid and Dorsey are being so active in free agency for two reasons. One, this team lacked depth at almost every position, we also had a number of holes to fill after they released some players. Two, Dorsey might be more active in free agency for the reason mentioned above but also because he wants to implement his BAA for the draft. You can't do that when there are holes all over a roster.

It's an exciting time to be a Chiefs fan. We are making moves to be competitive now, while also having an eye to the future as far as the draft is concerned.

There's just no way any DL in this draft has greater value than Geno.

JUST NO WAY AT ALL.

So Geno would get something around 7. That's 19 million invested in the most important position on the field, and less than 10% of the overall cap. Doesn't seem outrageous to me. There are starters who make that scratch.

These

Wet dream - they sign this guy to play rt. Cannot trade down so they just pick Geno.

Agreed completely. If signed, this could reawaken the hope of the Smith Trinity to KC!

This.

They are being so active because they were brought in by Clark to stop the bleeding right now. Not next year, or the season after. I think Clark was tired of seeing whats happened to this franchise over the past decade and loss of $$$$.

I fully expect this team to turn it around and win at least 8 or 9 games.
