Sure, he's been "fine" in spot duty but I just don't see how that guy can start for 16 games, let alone, 19 games. The Chiefs have been plugging in guys off the street and guys that were drafted in the 6th & 7 rounds since Andy Reid arrived and they've averaged 11.5 wins per season. Andy can basically scheme up against any deficiency. |

This coming year, we likely have two holes at tackle. |

Fisher is good, Schwartz was excellent, Reiter, LDT and Remmers were reliable and rock solid starters, Wiz is reliable, Osemele was arguably the best LG in the Andy Reid era before he got hurt and Allegretti has been a very nice find. Wylie just isn’t that good. He’s always getting beaten

I'd be willing to bet that if they can bring Remmers back that your starting line will be: Remmers / Wylie / Allegretti / LDT / ??? or Remmers / Allegretti / ??? / LDT / Wylie Wylie is going to be a starter, at least to begin the season. |

Watch his snaps. I've rewatched the game twice in the past week to prep for the Super Bowl. Wylie has no chance if you can get low to the ground. He has some redeeming quality but he is a stopgap measure -- that's his role on this team. He is not a guy you can trust for 16 games there. |

But it doesn't change the player. Obviously, they thought he was better suited to start out inside and work up from there. That hasn't changed, even though they may need him to play outside now. |

The bottom line is that Andy has specific traits that he looks for in an offensive lineman and in most cases, has either had those guys sit for a year (LDT, Allegretti) or forced them to play immediately with middling-to-poor results (Fisher at RT and Fulton at Right Guard). Wylie's been fine. He started on the 12-4 2018 team, the 12-4 2019 and every game this 14-2 season. It's just not worth the time, money and draft resources to bring in other players that will bring similar or lessor results. |

Mahomes isn't a "Pocket Passer". He's not a 3, 5 or 7 step drop passer, nor is he a guy that needs to primarily run the offense in Shotgun. There aren't many offensive lineman in the league that can hold their blocks for 7 seconds while Mahomes runs around while trying to hit the open receiver 20+ yards down field, so the Chiefs offensive line will never be considered "Dominant" because that's not Andy Reid's scheme with this QB. |

Super Bowl 2021: Kansas City’s Mike Remmers looks to place disastrous day in Super Bowl 50 in rear-view mirror Mike Remmers’ first and only Super Bowl appearance didn’t go very well for him or his team. The Kansas City tackle will get an opportunity to erase that bad memory on Sunday. Remmers was an offensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers when they faced the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Remmers had an awful day during the Panthers’ 24-10 loss to the Broncos. The former Jesuit High School and Oregon State star allowed seven quarterback hurries and three of Carolina’s six sacks game, according to Pro Football Focus. Broncos’ linebacker Von Miller twice beat Remmers around the edge to strip-sack quarterback Cam Newton of the ball. This was when Remmers was only 26 years old yet some of you guys advocate for him to start at Left Tackle for an entire season at age 32? Yeah, we'll need to agree to disagree on that one. |

Nobody on that Bucs defense is close to prime Von Miller.

I sure as hell hope not.
Shaq Barrett was a monster last year and definitely cooled off this season. But I'm still concerned about Remmers when they're matched up because he just doesn't have the athleticism to keep up. |

Back to the OP, I'm not opposed to taking an OT at #32.
IF it's the right guy. Like I said, I took Eichenberg in my latest mock and I think it gives the line some versatility because he could realistically play RT day 1 and possibly LT if needed. I just can't see taking a project or a guy that's more likely to play guard in the first round. If you're going to take an offensive lineman that high, he almost HAS to be an offensive tackle because that's where we have the biggest need. |

It'd still be nice to be able to run the ball some and not require Mahomes to be superman all the time. |

I would actually see if Osemele could come back and play LG next year if his health checks out. |
