The Chiefs are going into the season with Fisher, Allegretti, LDT, Schwartz, Niang, Rankin and Wylie.
They'll probably need three more quality backup type players, so most likely, one may come from the draft and two from cheap free agency. Or maybe they grab two guards late, as they did in 2014.
I just can't see them overhauling the entire offensive line in one offseason, especially given that there have been no parameters set in terms in in-building workouts, Minicamps and OTA's.

again, I think you're confusing me with the 'get 5 new FA stud starters' group.
In addition to Fisher, Alegretti, LDT, Schwartz, and Rankin (no Wylie please unless he's a sub) I'd look at Peters as your swing tackle/sub and Osemele as depth assuming both pass physicals. Neither would be expensive. Both are good players if healthy. Obviously if they can't pass a physical you don't sign them. If you're not planning on either starting, but instead spelling a guy here and there that could work just fine.
And I'd like to draft a guy in the mid rounds, meaning 2nd-4th. And then maybe a guy late.
So we're really not talking about anything different other than you wouldn't take a guy in the mid rounds but would wait until late. The reason I'd prefer earlier is that theoretically the kid would be ready to play sooner if not right away.
I can't see anyone being upset if they drafted Humphrey, Myers or Meinerz by round 3. I guess you might be. I wouldn't.
