I think OC is more important than RG, which is why I would bet on Humphrey starting and not Smith to begin the season.

By midseason that could change if they're comfortable with Humphrey and Niang's progress and game smarts.

I just don't see Andy rolling with 60% rookies, and the entire center and right side being all rookies.

But I've been wrong a few times this offseason, so who knows.

I'd think he'll want a vet in between the two youngsters though, and I think Niang should beat out Remmers.

Blyth was pretty damn good with the Rams last year. I think he'll take the starters spot (for their season). Smith I think is the one that beats out his vet competition. Was there a major reason that he dropped? Projected for the 2nd round lol. He should ne able to take down the Frenchman -who is a FA anyway. Remmers and Niang should be a good battle but Lucas hasn't played real football in over 2 years....

Brown
Thuney
Blyth
Smith
Remmers

With Niang, and Creed getting mins this season as our relief for the starters. After the season, Blyth leaves (1 yr deal I think?) and Creed becomes our C for the next 12 years.

Smith slid because of health concerns.

I agree with Meck. Humphrey's upside is off the charts and I think he wins that job. If Remmers wins the RT job, I could see Smith in the mix at RG but I don't think Andy rolls with Humphrey, Niang, AND Smith.

I'm still wary of someone winning the job after not playing football in 2 years. I can see Creed and LDT I guess but I still say the Remmers takes the RT. We'll see though. The C--->RT part of our Oline is by far the most interesting battle that will be going on in camp.

I think Remmers is the best chance at taking the starters spot. Andy likes him and despite what ppl think here he wasn't terrible at RT. Everyone just remembers the Super Bowl and how godawful he was on the left side. He's fine for a year, while Niang learns how to play football again.

I had Long beating out LDT, but he can't stay healthy so I have no idea on that-I'm hoping for Smith though. Center, like I said Blyth was pretty good with the Rams but everyone is in agreement that Creed is awesome. I just feel like they won't start a rookie there if they have a perfectly good vet they can pair with Mahomes. It's title or bust this year, so why leave this stuff in a rookie's hands if you don't have to? Especially on the 2nd most important spot on the offensive line.

Given the Chiefs’ track record, they let him walk at the end of his rookie deal.

Let's hope that that streak finally ends. Though I understand why they did it each time, it's still sucks as both players went on to have very productive times after they left us.
