Nicholas Petit-Frere, OT, Ohio State
We need to have a broader conversation in draft season about what tackles we'd be comfortable taking in the 1st round.
I've already said that while we do have bigger needs, we shouldn't sleep on a key tackle, should one fit. One that may fit: Quote:

Keep in mind: we are set at tackle, theoretically, in 2022 with Orlando Brown probably being tagged and Lucas Niang, to say nothing of the fact that bringing Mike Remmers back would probably be cheap.
So we would not need Petit-Frere to start in 2022. We could redshirt him, basically, and start him in 2023. Regardless, the whole point of taking a tackle in the 1st would be to give the team options should Orlando Brown high-ball us in the 2023 offseason. |

I'm not opposed to Petit-Frere in the 1st specifically because of his tools. I don't want to use a 1st on an OT, but this one could be elite with a little seasoning.
I could see a scenario where I take him, presumably one where the premier Edge talents are off the board. In that case, I'd take him over most of the back of the 1st possibilities at WR. Then maybe look at Zach Harrison or someone like him in the 2nd and see what shakes free at WR in the 3rd.

If he were available, take him, and trade Brown.
Play the young guy, save the money, go invest in a DL or S or LB or whatever. |

And at a point you have to wonder about Niang's durability. If Niang wins the job then stays healthy/effective for 2022, you consider him and NPF as your book-ends long term and then either tag/trade Brown or just let him walk.

I don't care for redshirting first round picks. |

And aren't you going into 2022 with a new guy learning the LT spot WITHOUT the benefit of a redshirt year? Moreover, there's nothing that says Niang can't actually take that LT gig and NPF slides in at RT.

One thing to consider is what O. City said and that would be that if NPT was there and the Chiefs took him in 1, they could trade Brown for a R2 pick plus afterward and they'd have some time to make it happen. I'm totally okay with that.

Yes, those flippin' Canadians let anyone in to practice, especially ones from Tampa, FL with a major in operations management. Going to have to keep an eye out on the docs whenever you go North of the border.
After his outing against Aidan Hutchinson though, I'm wondering if he'll actually declare early or not. He struggled mightily and it's going to affect his stock. I think he could use that one more year dedicated to the weight room. If he does declare, you might have some lumps against power rushers in year one as Fisher did. |

Again, you don’t have to start him in year one.

His last name translates to "Little Brother."
Not exactly a name that jives with being an NFL OT |

The only way I'd draft him in the first is if I had decided Brown wasn't the long term answer, in which case, I'd tag and trade him, draft NPT, and sign a veteran stop-gap.
I think this offseason needs to be about re-stocking the defense, and adding a WR with big upside. |
