Which also makes it likely the all of these defensive players available won't be sure-fire Pro Bowlers as well.

You can scout the shit out of these guys for 8 years, from high school to college and at the end of the day, be wrong about how they project to the NFL.

At the end of the day, regardless of how any of these guys pan out, the Chiefs didn't try.

With the exception of Colin Brown, you're right. But I don't think they could have set their "plan" in motion if they had taken more offensive lineman.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's the reality.

I'm still shocked that they didn't address the center position this year but apparently, they feel they can count on Weigman for a full season.

I hope they're right...

I'm hoping they saw something in Daryl Harris when they started working him out at center that tells them he might have some potential to be the long term answer there with some work, and that's the reason they didn't address it.

I just can't fathom not addressing it with an aging Weigman and Niswanger as your only options.

I'm with you.

I also can't believe that Harris isn't in their plans. He's shown too much in what little time he's played that he belongs.

I thought I read that they're wondering if Asamoah is an option at Center.

If that's the case, maybe the plan is to have Lilja at LG and Harris or Brown at RG (future state).

Regardless, if they don't have a backup plan already in place not addressing the center position is simply unfathomable.
