The offensive line works as a team. Again, there is no way the Chiefs are going to have 5 All Pro lineman, so an average player in that position will be just fine, especially considering Allegretti will have had 9 Regular Season starts and 3 post season starts, while LDT will return to the right side.
Personally, I'd rather the Chiefs spend their 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks on immediate impact players, especially those players that "Play on an Island", not on a rookie center, especially if the NFL decides to forego Minicamps and OTA's.
The great Cesar Ruiz is a perfect example. The dude ****ing sucked ass his rookie year.

Ok, but we know why Hill went in the 5th round.
and I'm down with Alegretti and LDT at G. Especially if you put a better C in between. And I'm glad it sounds like Fisher and Schwartz are going to be good to go. And there's Niang just in case.
I just really don't understand this theory you have that Reid can trot whatever bullshit off the street he can stick in a uniform and scheme around it. I mean you said that before the Super Bowl, and were clearly wrong. I'd rather not have that happen again and somehow that's just crazy talk. A third round pick on a center? CRAZY.
And when I ask what positions a rookie is going to start in, you give me...Sorensen's spot. And maybe a WR. Even though there are two in 13 years that have shown anything near #2 numbers in Reid's offense.
But somehow that seems more reasonable than shoring up an obvious weakness.
I really don't get it. You still have to hold your own at the line of scrimmage.
Which is why I'm for a DE as our first pick.
