Chiefs Right Tackle?

Direckshun · 02-16-2022, 10:52 AM

The Chiefs have needs.... everywhere this offseason. Veach is going to be earning his paycheck.

WR, the entire DL, the entire secondary... it's a lot.

But what about the RT position? I feel like it's a bit forgotten in the mix.

Schwartz and Remmers aren't coming back due to debilitating back injuries. Wylie held down the position pretty decently but the Chiefs had to give him a lot of help to pull it off, and he's a free agent anyway.

What resources are you willing to throw at this position? Poll forthcoming.

They'll probably get somebody in free agency. Plus who knows what they want to do with Niang.

Bring back Wylie on a 1 year deal.
Draft a guy in the later rounds.

Camp battle.

Yeah this is correct. Several options. One is bound to pan out.

Pretty much. I don't feel it's necessary to invest a high round pick at this juncture. We saw what the OL was capable of with mediocre talent at RT and they were fine. With all our other needs, the most we should be doing is digging for a RT in the later rounds as insurance for Niang dying again and signing depth.

Zackly. Theyre not gonna admit to a mistake after one, err two years.

Been saying it for a couple months now - Wylie is a PERFECT candidate for the 4-year veterans exemption.

Under the 4-year qualifying player benefit, the Chiefs could offer Wylie a 1 year deal for $2.42 million and slightly less than half of that would count against the cap.

Now maybe he played his way into a better deal on the market - it's not impossible. But we'd have said the same thing about Reiter and that dude ended up bouncing on and off practice squads all year.

Offer it to him quick and see if he wants to spin the wheel and take his chances. Then find another Remmers/Blythe kind of under the radar veteran and hope that Niang makes the entire conversation moot by flat out earning the job.

Imagine we will bring Wylie back - or sign a similar vet tackle that can/has play left and right side. Depending on how they feel about Niang, if they still think he is the answer that might be all they do, but if they are uncertain about Niang then we might see them draft versatile lineman in the later rounds

Veach will find another draft gem...

BWillie · 02-16-2022, 11:03 AM

You don't need to do too much. The solution is either on the roster or easily signable.

Does Trent Brown fit our OL Block Scheme?

Talk to me about what we're looking for at RT and what the difference is between OL schemes? I'm curious

**chiefforlife** · 02-16-2022, 11:23 AM

Why not Kyle Long/ Niang?

They liked Kyle enough to keep him on the team all year. He has been training at the NFL level for over a year now.

He can play RT or G, Andy likes those kind of guys. He has played the RT position at the probowl level.

He wont break the bank and we dont create another hole for Veach.

Wisconsin_Chief · 02-16-2022, 11:35 AM

I think you roll with Niang as your main option and sign a vet. There's always experienced guys floating around out there who end up signing for close to the minimum to get one last shot at a ring, like Dennis Kelly for the Packers this year.

Or we could just go all in and draft/sign a stud and have the best o-line in the league. Depends on what Bark Varch decides is the best route. They seem to really like Niang though so I'm betting on him getting first dibs.
