For all we know, they are going to have Niang play LT and Remmers at RT. Remmers did say he signed to be the starting right tackle.

We simply have no idea what they intend to do. Did you see them signing Reed at this time yesterday, considering the need at DE over DT?

Definitely not.

But them going hard after T. Williams means they seem to think the same as we do about LT.

Middlekauf is pretty plugged in with Veach and Reid. On his last pod talked like the Chiefs were pretty enamored with this LT class.

Stupid teams doing things stupid teams do. That’s how we get a good LT there at 31.

Joe Burrow is reportedly pushing the Bengals to reunite him with LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase, per @AlbertBreer

They have Jonah Williams. Why would they take Sewell?

They went after Williams because they wanted Williams. Obviously LT is a position of need but notice that after Williams, they've pursued basically nobody.

Of course they're enamored with this LT class, everybody is. That doesn't mean they're enamored with same specific players we are.

This entire offseason has been Veach zagging when most people expected him to zig. At this point, I almost expect there to be a mixture of surprise and dismay on draft day.

Because he isn’t very good, Sewell is a generational LT prospect and Williams has been hurt 3 times in his 2 year career, two of them being on IR

They've pursued no one because there isn't anyone else to pursue. Okung is hurt all the time and isn't dependable. He's fine for a emergency only type thing, but other than that, there isn't shit out there.

So, yeah, they're pretty much locked in to take a LT early in the draft.

Maybe.

But I'd say Chase is the same?

[RunKC]

Honestly if they don’t take Sewell I’d get Kyle Pitts assuming he’s still there

Ahhhhh, it seems our good friend Pesty is The Guy Who Says He Read The Article But Only Read The Headline:

According to Nate Taylor, the Chiefs are still in the hunt to bolster their left tackle and wide receiver holes in free agency.

Which is all fine and good, but doesn’t that make DE the largest remaining hole, if they stay true to that?

The Chiefs have not stayed true to that, at this point. They have not bolstered their left tackle situation yet.

If that's the case, then they must do what they can to plug that hole in the draft.

Read the actual article next time.

What other options are there, at this point? I've been looking.

Totally agree, actually, which is why maybe you set yourself up so that's not what you have to do.

But the need to protect Mahomes' blind side trumps our need to adhere strictly to the value/need balance. The need is simply too severe at this point.

Nope.

That's your perception of the situation.

Nate Taylor has stressed that Niang will be given every opportunity to win RT, but that Remmers will be the incumbent there.

Just FYI

It's going to be Niang at RT. If anybody is flipping to LT from that combo, it's Remmers.

Which, so help me god, htismaqe. So help me god.

I guess I missed where you are an NFL personnel man and actually know who is and isn't available.

I absolutely disagree and that's the last I'm going to say on the subject. The upside here is that if the Chiefs take a tackle in the draft, I'm good.

If they don't, you guys are going to lose your shit. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I don't need you to warn me that I'm going to be upset if the Chiefs enter Week One with Remmers at tackle. Buuuuuuuut thanks
