Which is why the Chiefs scored 40-some points in the playoffs, right? That was with Schwartz and Allen.
I keep saying this, but the Chiefs HAD another RT on their roster when Dorsey and Reid came aboard. Eric Winston. His release earned us like, $5 and a gift card to Starbucks. Basically zero cap savings. He was booted purely because he was viewed as not being important to the team.
Rodney Hudson and Donald Stephenson are going to be a free agents next year. We're going to be in the exact same position, where dudes we drafted don't get cheap longterm deals. We'll look to more Jeff Linkenbachs and Eric Kushs/Rishaw Johnsons, where nobody will be QUITE comfortable handing the positions over to them, and we'll be waffling about whether or not to draft their replacements.
If you burn top draft stock to replace Schwartz/Asamoah, then why the **** wouldn't you burn it to replace Stephenson/Hudson?
Let's just draft offensive line in the 1st round every ****ing year, how about!
