Exactly this

Nobody is questioning that. It was his meaningless reps comment

Did I miss the memo where it was decided that he was just a stop gap and we immediately have to pick his replacement? The first round OT conversations and mocks are just blowing my mind right now.

I think everyone hopes he seizes the opportunity and plays well enough to not have LT be a need.


But that hasn't happened yet.

Yeah but there's people wanting to draft an OT THIS year. I thought he'd get a year to prove himself before we even thought about a replacement. I get drafting one in the 3rd or so for competition, depth and development, but signing him AND drafting one in the first round makes absolutely no sense to me.

I think the organization still believes he will be fine. The big question is if Kingsly penciled in at LG, does anyone have faith that Wanya can backup LT if necessary. Besides finding anyone who could take over the LT or RT in the future is like hitting a homerun. Because both are going to be a position of need in the next year or two.

But hope is not a strategy. If there is a LT prospect they think can be the answer for the next decade (taking us though all of Mahomes final prime years) then do it.


And if Jaylon Moore hits AND we hit on another good tackle, we can use one at RT next year and move on from Jawaan Taylor.

There isn't. Time to move on.

If they draft a tackle I’d wager it’s one meant for the right side. Extremely weak left tackle class and needing to replace Taylor next year.

if they drafted an LT first and he didn't play his first season but then became a beast after his 2nd or 3rd year it would be well worth it. But that has to happen for it to be worth it.

We really have to redshirt a RT? A first rounder at that?

How did we have great offended with Wylie but now we're in the position to wildly overpay for Taylor AND use a first round pick on his replacement the year before he's cut.


The strategy for the OL just seems incredibly disorganized and like they're just throwing shit against the wall and hoping it sticks.

I don't want to misspeak as I didn't hear the entire conversation, but I caught a snippet of Tim Grunhard on Petro's show, and they were talking about what it would take to get the Chiefs to move up to 10 or 12. I didn't hear Tim's thoughts on who he predicted they took there, but Petro did make a point of saying Grey Zabel was Tim's first round wish (I believe).

If that is what they were trying to sell, then that prediction would smash every other bad idea for the Chiefs in the first round without breaking a sweat. Someone please tell me that they heard that segment, and that isn't what Petro and Grunhard were saying.

This draft looks deep so I actually think they should draft someone that is likely to be ready to contribute this year. The end of the 1st round is looking alright. FAU needs to put up this upcoming season, if he's ever going to be good and develop he needs to show it in his 3rd year. I don't particularly want a project again in the first 2 rounds, not in this draft.

At this point it is speculation on who the chiefs are looking at or have on their draft board. I doubt they believe there is more than 1 or 2 Tackles worth taking that have any hope of getting to 31. But I do believe LT and RT are going to be extremely costly if you do not find one this year or next in the draft. But it is a long shot an OL makes it to 31 who looks like a instant starter. I still think they probably go wr or DL

Did you just read somebody's guess of what the Chiefs might do then assume that it's the Chiefs strategy?

How exactly is anything the Chiefs have done so far with the OL "disorganized"?

Also, the Chiefs currently don't have a long term answer at either OT spot. Why would getting ahead of that be "throwing shit against the wall"?
