Drafting Offensive Line

[comochiefsfan]

I was told it wasn't necessary. Draft them in the 6th and 7th round and pick up the rest off the bargain bin in free agency. O-Line doesn't matter when you have Mahomes.

Now do you guys understand?

Pat can't do this alone.

Sure, the injuries and opt outs didn’t help. But let’s not forget Mahomes was running for his life a year ago with Fisher and Schwartz both still on the field.

All the more reason to draft OL. Let's not get Patrick broken before he hits 30.

In the Super Bowl, you're going to face some really good DL.

If I'm Clark Hunt/Veach, I'm drafting DL and OL for the next 3 years straight. If you have a stud QB + stud OL + stud DL, you can have trash at basically every other position and still dominate.

This is the most ridiculous take ever.

I know what you're trying to say but the Chiefs aren't even making it to the Super Bowl without skill players like Kelce and Hill.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you guys you're wrong because you're not.

I just hope the Chiefs take a level-headed and pragmatic approach to the problem. There's no reason to panic and spend every resource they have on linemen.

1st round needs to be BPA imo....but the 2nd and 3rd they should absolutely spend on offensive line. If by chance Philly is dumb enough to let Jason Kelce go then that needs to happen 1000% as well.

You can't just say to spend 2nd and 3rd round picks on offensive linemen when you don't know who will be there.

You know what would be 1000x worse than having a line that sucks as bad as the one tonight?

One that sucks as bad as tonight, loaded with recent draft picks.

By all means, invest in the line. Just do it wisely.

Running from 1 man is significantly different than running from 2 or 3 men coming from different directions

PFF says we have the 11th best line in the league.

I'm no expert, but it *feels* it's way worse.

Wylie needs to go. Straight up, we need two starting tackles and a Center.

It can't be stressed enough, letting Rodney Hudson go because Morse was good enough, then letting Morse go too was a 'tactical' purposeful series of decisions.

They don't want to pay them. It's obvious.

And it's probably going to happen again with Reiter in a couple of months.

And they'll DESERVE every time they come up short with the best player in the history of the sport.

THIS! THIS! THIS! ^

When it comes to O line we are turning into the Royals. We draft em we train em and then when they want a paycheck we trade em. Playing Hudson twice a year makes me want to throw up in my mouth every time I think about it.

11th sounds about right. When Fisher, Osemele, Duvernay-Tardif, and Schwartz are all healthy....

What is the date on that? I bet that was either before the season or before we lost Schwartz and Fisher.
