The one thing we can look forward to: the league's best OL.
Last year, PFF gave the Chiefs the 12th best line.
That's even with Albert missing games, Ryan Lilja playing center, Jeff Allen playing poorly, and Stephenson having to play left tackle for five games. 12th best line. Now, the Chiefs are better. If you're a fan of the trenches, and I know most of us on this site are not, but I unapologetically am: Albert's healthy. Hudson's back. Allen's getting competition from Geoff Schwartz, and we're replacing Winston with Eric ****ing Fisher. LT: Albert LG: Allen/Schwartz C: Hudson RG: Asamoah RT: Fisher Here are last year's top 5 OLs: 1st: 49ers LT: Joe Staley LG: Mike Iupati C: Jonathan Goodwin RG: Alex Boone RT: Anthony Davis 2nd: Patriots LT: Nate Solder LG: Logan Mankins C: Ryan Wendell RG: Dan Connelly RT: Sebastian Vollmer 3rd: Jets LT: D'Brickashaw Ferguson LG: Willie Colon C: Nick Mangold RG: Matt Slausen RT: Austin Howard 4th: Broncos LT: Ryan Clady LG: Zane Beadles C: JD Walton RG: Louis Vasquez RT: Orlando Franklin 5th: Cleveland Browns LT: Joe Thomas LG: Jason Pinkston C: Alex Mack RG: Shaun Lauvao RT: Mitchell Schwartz I think we can make a run at this group in 2013. |

What is it the 3 have in common?
Only 2 teams have elite QBs. Only two teams have both starting tackles drafted in the 1st round. By the way those 2 were in the SB last year.

So are we shooting to replace the jets or the browns?
FWIW, I used to be a huge O-line homer as well, back in the Roaf days.

Despite how "boring" the pick is, the game STILL starts in the trenches. If your line is getting pushed around like a bunch of b******, then you're not doing squat in the postseason.

Rodgers and Eli have both won with trash OLs.... Peyton's OL looked like shit the moment he wasn't behind center Rothlessburger has routinely got the shit beat out of him and won good QBs routinely make OLs look better than they are, and good OLs with shit QBs accomplish nothing but we've got to believe OL is the most important thing....because we're Chiefs fans no one advocated drafting a RT with the #1 pick at the end of the season - literally no one - and everyone claiming to like it now is a ****ing liar

Otherwise the highest draft pick spent on that offensive line was Chad Clifton, a former 2nd rounder who was as old as Methuselah by that point. |
