Listen. I HATE the Chiefs RT position as much as anybody. Worse than most. BUT just because they did not find a suitable RT in the offseason, DOES NOT mean that they should have dumped a #3 OVERALL on a right tackle.

Nobody is saying that they don't want a good RT, they just dont want to use the 3rd pick of the Draft on one, especially on this team, hey if we had everything in place but the O-line than I would agree with you, but this team is so devoid of talent everywhere that they can't afford to have the luxury of having two franchise Tackles

I actually think you might start seeing some teams invest more in the RT position with the influx of the 3-4 and the way a team like the Giants is built where there are elite rushers coming from both sides.

More, but not nearly to the same level. Even if you have rushers from both sides, you still have a tight end on the right side to help chip off a LDE. And it's not the QB's blind side, so he can spot the rush more easily and at least protect the ball better.

hell lots of teams are trading up out of the second in to the end of the 1st to get a tackle, that's something that I would hope the chiefs consider next year

Beyond that I think you will see more guys like Wes Welker and Steve Smith run short routes and make people miss to get the ball out quicker. |

There's a good book I read during the off-season about Michael Oher and it discussed that the left tackle position really didn't gain value until guys like L.T. and our beloved D.T. came into the league and started making QBs very nervous. With a lot of D's now going to the 3-4, the right tackle position is now becoming valuable as well.

At the same time every year good prospects fall due to dumb shit, the problem is do the Chiefs place value on that same dumbshit.
