I have no idea why you think the Chiefs *need* to make a decision on Fisher, either. He's 29 years old and again, shows no signs of slowing down.
I'd rather see the Chiefs pay Fisher for a few more years than draft a LT whom they'd need to pay $16 million or more in 3 years.

I ****ed up on Schwartz’s age - as you said he will be 31 in a few weeks. After the 2020 season, Fisher can be cut saving $11.5 million on the cap with just over $3 million in dead money (just under $15 million cap hit). That might go a ways in extending Mahomes/Jones. If you can get a sure-fire OT on a five year deal with the first few years being cheap, that is something KC has to be looking at.
I have nothing against the quality of play of Fisher/Schwartz, but eventually you have to plan for down the road.
