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.

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

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.

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.

The Panthers stumbled onto something in Schwartz’ first full year as a starter- much as they did when the departure of Julius Peppers forced Charles Johnson into the lineup. They fortuitously found a guy who could play right tackle and right guard in impressive fashion, impressive enough in fact, that it earned him serious consideration when we announced our Pro Bowl team.

Geoff Schwartz, OT/ OG

When the Carolina Panthers opted against tendering Schwartz, there was a collective gasp from the PFF team. Sure Ron Rivera wasn’t in charge when Schwartz managed to finish 2010 with a PFF grade of +12.3 despite playing two positions, but it wouldn’t have been hard to watch some tapes and see he’s got more talent than anything they can currently put out on the right side of their line. Schwartz offers the kind of versatility and talent that brings to mind a poor man’s Marshal Yanda; good enough to make him the best right tackle available and possibly the best value guard too. He has a very real chance to be this year’s Evan Mathis for a team with a diligent scouting department.

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