You are a fool if you think the Chiefs can continue to get by doing this. Fisher and Schwartz are good, they have two years remaining on their contracts. I don't think you really want to be giving those guys big contracts after 2021. So you MUST start planning to rebuild the offensive line sooner rather than later. Those two our our best linemen by far. Face it, the rest are scrubs.
At a minimum you have to draft an offensive linemen in the first three rounds this year. I mean I really don't think there is a choice not to. And you better ****ing hit on the pick. And then you are probably using earlier picks the following year to continue to build out the line. On top of all that you need to be looking at a free agent to come in and jump start the rebuild.
The Chiefs are not in a bad spot, they just have to realize that now is the time they have to start addressing the line. This is why I've always been of the mindset that they should draft an offensive linemen in rounds three or four every year. You start 5 of these guys every year, they are always getting dinged up. Free agents are expensive. Best to just build a pipeline.

Fun fact: Andy has drafted a lineman in the first 3 rds every year he’s been here. Last year was the first time he didn’t draft one in the firsts 2 rds, but he traded our 1st for Frank.
Andy is absolutely drafting an OL early this year.
