I know everyone likes to bitch about the line and Dorsey, but frankly I think he made the right calls by not over paying guys like Albert, Hudson, Asamoah, and Schwartz.
Albert: Five-year, 47 million deal with $25 million guaranteed. Started 9 games in 2014
Asamoah: Five-year, 22.5 million deal with $6 million guaranteed. Started 15 games in 2015
Schwartz: Four-year, $16.8 million deal with $6.2 million guaranteed. Started 2 games in 2014
Look at the money that's been paid to Chiefs offensive linemen, who besides Albert, don't have long distinguished track records in the NFL. Of all these guys, Asamoah is the guy me probably should have kept, but its not like he's some standout guard who would be difficult to replace.
It's going to suck to have to re-stock the oline in the upcoming draft but we don't really have a choice in the matter. This is why we must always use 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks on developmental linemen. It's a position you can't afford to ignore anymore because the big fatties are making bank.
