At pick 96 a lineman with good physical tools that can potentially provide depth all over the line is nice value.

BPA. This is a damn good draft for us.

I doubt it other than being some leverage when negotiating Fisher's contract in 2022. If the Chiefs really wanted that they'd have drafted much higher up considering the talent in this draft class. I love this pick. But only because we badly needed a depth swing lineman.

Anything to kick Wylie off the team, I'm good with it.

Guard would be great. We need nasty at guard. We have nice guys that help pld ladies across the street. We need bar fighters.

Daddy like.

Plus, LDT finally has someone to talk to.

staylor26 04-24-2020 09:49 PM

If he can start at G, this is an A+ pick.

Solves the G problem for now and potentially T problem for later.

From my main draft guide

Niang is a massive prospect, both long and sturdy. His size allows him to survive on an island. Long arms and powerful hands, capable of stopping rushers in their tracks and steering them where he wants. When his leverage is right he shows natural power in the run game, with the ability to reset the LOS. A nimble mover for his size in pass pro or moving to the second level, where the bully in him comes out when he gets a chance to erase defenders.

The knocks are mostly about a nagging hip injury that required surgery last year, and a need for pass pro refinement

I wanted a lineman in the 3rd and got one, no complaints at all

Just watched this. He did a pretty solid job vs Bosa and Young. Got help quite a few times but that’s understandable.

I like it.

I think in a normal season, he takes LG this season and perhaps moves to T next year when they let one of Fisher or Schwartz go.

I think in this season with who knows what for TC and pre-season, we'll see.

Andy's always believed in the best 5 guys theory. I'd think this is one of the best 5 guys. Better than Wylie, for ****'s sake.
