Either Niang starts Week 1 or he sits until there's an injury. Andy doesn't change his offensive line on a whim or even if a guy is underperforming. If Niang looks competent, he'll be the starter. |

As far as biggest impact, it has to be Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith and of course, Orlando Brown, jr.
The Bills just drafted two defensive ends, as did the Ravens. They watched the Super Bowl, too, and saw how constant pressure threw off Mahomes and the team's timing, so they're hoping to replicate that in the playoffs next season. How the line reacts this season will determine the fate of the Chiefs season because every team will attempt to copy the Bucs defensive game plan. |

Creed Humphrey will start day 1.
If Trey Smith is fully healthy, he'll definitely be in the 2 deep day 1. Bolton will get playing time early and will see his playing time increase as the season goes on. I expect to see him starting games by the end of the season and showing that he's ready to be the starting MLB in 2022. I expect to see spot duty from Gray and Powell to start and if they can develop, they'll see snaps too. Right now, this draft class is all about Humphrey. If he is what we think he is, he's a top notch starter right away and that's huge from the #63 overall pick. |

I think Creed has like a 90% chance of starting.

Bolton is an instinctive, cerebral player. He's going to pick up the schemes quickly and I think he will see substantially more time than Gay did starting out. |

I think going into the season, Andy will love the idea that Niang is his swing tackle. |

As many have said, Creed Humphrey probably is the starting center week 1. I don't see Bolton starting immediately since Gay barley saw the field last year. I know they're not the same situations but I'm hoping Bolton will be on the field more than Ben friggin Niemann.
I am also really interested to see Trey Smith as well. Especially how highly he was evaluated. I know there are some medical scaries in his past but hopefully he has moved on from that and he doesn't have an issues going forward. Honestly, I think our draft is solid. It seemed like we got good value at nearly every pick. I'm just looking forward to the season and the revenge tour

Disclaimer: I haven't read this thread:
My guesses: Bolton starts at OLB this year and assumes ILB next year. He and Gay are the spine of the D for the rest of their contracts, and still get carved up in the passing game but give us above-average play nonetheless. Humphrey starts for a good long time and makes the Pro Bowl a couple times. Kaindoh is a rotational guy and finally starts looking like a football player in 2023. Will eventually leave once that happens. Gray will be good for 200-400 yards receiving a season. Powell will fiddle around on special teams and be our WR4. Tre Smith starts at RG in 2022. |

I thin comparing gay last year to bolton at this point is fair. Gay was/is super raw but talented, whereas bolton is less of a specimen but a smart and instinctive player. I fully expect to see him playing at least 2x as much as gay did this year if not as a near full time starter.
