Clearly RT is of concern, but to say we take care of that before looking for a QB is ridiculous. This team needs to do whatever it can to get a QB in the draft in round one and go from there to get a RT. The Chiefs Way has got to change.

yeah, why cant we draft a RT in the 2nd round? or just sign one. there are always something you can do to upgrade the position.
NUMBER 1 concern QB. We all have known that for years. lol |

I've heard that QB/LT/Pass Rusher are the three places that you really want elite talent if you can get it. I can see the reasoning behind that. I'd say you still need five decent guys on the O-Line. A crappy RT screws up the protection scheme and hampers the rest of the line, same thing in the running game with run blocking.

IMO you don't need a star at RT, just a solid guy.
It appears the Chiefs definition of solid and mine are a little different however. |

LT is the exception. You rarely hear of a UDFA LT playing unless the team is in dire straits. The Chargers managed to get a Pro Bowl Guard, (Dielman), as a UDFA Defensive Tackle for crying out loud. The Chiefs had one of the most dominant O-Lines in the NFL for a decade and they couldn't do shit because there was a severe lack of talent in the "skill" positions. While every great team starts at QB, and a good one doesn't need to be found in the 1st round, the skill guys are the key. Imagine a team spending 5 years drafting OL in the 1st round. I don't believe they'd be very good. |

The 2003 offensive line was built by a 3rd round pick trade for Roaf, a 3rd round pick that was spent TEN years prior, and a first round pick in 1999. That's it. Even our interior backup Donald Willis was a free agent. |

Dunno where or when I heard this but it makes sense.
To win a Superbowl you need 3-4 things. Franchise qb, Franchise LT, Elite Pass Rusher, opportunistic defense. |

If I'm got a for sure 1st thing mentioned, I'd like to have a second thing mentioned or pretty close to it.

BTW - Thanks for sending the Chargers an inspired Jared Gaither.

I've heard two national people on the radio this morning say that Gaither can't play RT - Baltimore even said so after they released him.
So this isn't about Barry Richardson, it's about BRANDON ALBERT. Yes, Gaither did pretty good Monday night but he did it at LT not RT. |

Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Earl Campbell, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, and Marshall Faulk come to mind. Trent Richardson brings Earl Campell to mind when I watch him play, and if we are drafting at 14 or 15, if he's there, highly improbable, I'd be hard pressed to pass on him in the draft. Clearly QB is the priority for this team, and for any team that doesn't have one. But if there isn't a first round QB on the board, Trent Richardson should be a very strong consideration. Quote:
It is that QB is THE priority. There's no question we have work to do on the O-Line, but you should never make fixing the O-Line a bigger priority than finding a QB.
