Grantland Rates Chiefs OL as Worst in the NFL
Here is the excerpt covering the Chiefs:
Considering this, the Jets’ worst-case scenario, got me thinking about who actually does have the weakest position groups in the NFL, taking season-ending injuries and the like into account. This isn’t an attempt to rag on teams for the sake of doing it, but just to take stock, a week before the season starts, of what areas teams might have the most trouble in when the games get going. Kansas City Chiefs, offensive line eric-fisher Since last season ended, Kansas City has said good-bye to its three best linemen. In a group of five guys, that’s typically not good. Geoff Schwartz got a nice deal from the Giants. Left tackle Branden Albert, long rumored to become a Dolphin eventually, is one now. And Jon Asamoah left to give the Falcons some much-needed interior line help. That gives the Chiefs a starting five, from left to right, of Eric Fisher, Zach Fulton, Rodney Hudson, Jeff Allen, and Donald Stephenson — and Stephenson is suspended for the first four games of the season for PED use. Fisher was the first pick in last year’s draft, and he had a really hard time as a rookie, even with less responsibility, over at right tackle. He’ll be in the big chair over on the left side this year, where more questions will be asked of him. It’s almost guaranteed he’ll be a significant downgrade from Albert. The Chiefs will also start sixth-round pick Fulton. Starting a sixth-round rookie can be spun one of two ways: Either you hit a home run late, or you have no better options. It’s typically the latter. Kansas City’s offense is built around Jamaal Charles, but last year, having an above-average line (when Schwartz took over) certainly helped. Surviving turnover is typically a challenge for most lines, but surviving it with inferior talent is even tougher. In the running: Jaguars, Seahawks, Bucs http://grantland.com/the-triangle/th...ps-in-the-nfl/ |

Fortunately, coaches and GMs don't evaluate players the way we do.

So basically we just tread water with a possibly worse player for the same money and lose a 1.1 pick.. A historic 1st overall pick we could have used to pick any player in the draft. Because we are the chiefs!

If there's one thing you CAN gauge in preseason, it's whether or not a guy is physically suited to play in the NFL. Zach Fulton isn't. Plain and simple. |
