It would be stupid for the Chiefs to ask that out of Derrick Nnadi. But when you're big and athletic and you've basically for all intents and purposes DONE THAT JOB for the first three seasons of your career, that's not a monumental task.
This isn't OL. We're not asking a G to move over and play OT. We're taking a player who has a track record of mauling shit while lined up in a variety of positions and telling him to go blow more shit up.
It has a good chance of working out. And if it doesn't? Well shit, Chris Jones will surely never be able to move back to the interior! At least not until he has a full offseason of work at that position!

Yeah man, I've been really trying not get irritated but it seems like yet another terrible football take.
Positional flexibility is a GOOD THING.
It's what makes Mathieu valuable, for instance.
Chess pieces that you can move around to take advantage of match-ups are a GOOD THING to have.
I see this as a way to get our best D-linemen on the field at the same time. I really don't see the problem.
