“Coach (Andy) Heck does a great job of letting the guys work in at guard with the ones and twos and tackles a little bit with the threes,” said Veach. “I think that’s kind of what you’d see, you’d see him with the earlier groups at guard and then as the younger guy taking more reps with the second or third team as tackle just have him bounce in and out. You do hope you can get to training camp on time because you kind of need that onfield work for the young guys like this, but I certainly think he can get thrown right in the mix there at guard.”

I'm not sure where "half" the board thinks he's a guard and only a guard. I've seen most people pencil him in at RT, to be honest. |

Since Fisher's injury, I've seen posts suggesting he play left or right tackle but that's only been in the past 6 weeks or so. |

But so readily suggesting he should play tackle suggests they weren't 100% set on him being a guard. It was all based on circumstance, both then and now. Not based necessarily on his skill set or talent. |

Veach said they would try him on the inside because we already had our tackles and he wasn’t beating out those guys.
Now both tackles are question spots. |

Which is why I don't think it's fair to say "half the board" thought he was a guard. We was going to start at guard because of circumstances, not fit or talent. |

Maybe "Half the board" was a little dramatic. But he does not get respect as a quality tackle prospect by many. And many more write him off because of the hip, as if the Chiefs didnt clear him pre draft, and have him in the facility working out. Other than him not playing last year i feel like were lucky to have him have gotten him where we did.

The only reason there was talk of Niang playing G is to get your “best 5” on the OL.
He’s absolutely a T long term, and always was. |

It’s quite obvious the front office thought Schwartz would only be in KC another year or 2. They drafted his replacement ahead of time and his contract extensions were very short term.
I bet they knew his back wasn’t going to last...but that’s strictly speculation. |

From Veach’s interview with Fescoe. Btw Veach was texting Niang every couple of weeks during the season.
