People on Chiefsplanet used to say "Wow, wouldn't it be great to have a QB like Tom Brady so that the team wouldn't have to continually spend high draft picks on Offensive Lineman?".
And now that the Chiefs have an MVP, Super Bowl QB it's "Oh!!! FATTIES! Gotta protect the MVP!!!!@!@@@(@@()@(&)@". It. Never. ****ing. Ends. |

The guys available at #31 won't be ready to start Week 1, especially if there's a restricted offseason again, so I just don't foresee that happening.

Furthermore, that was one year ago, not last week. Reid's entire philosophy in regards to offensive lineman is that the "Best 5 guys will play". That doesn't mean that Niang will spend his career at guard. |

I’m interested to see what veteran receivers are going to be cut. There’s a good chance that at least one of those guys decides to improve his value with us on a short deal.
I think the market for WR is about to get flooded next week.

Which is why chiefsplanet shouldn't be surprised when Wiley is starting next year. Reid loves the guy and he fits the prototype for a guard in this system. Niang gave the Chiefs a ton of flexibility and for some reason lil chiefy is still acting like Veach didn't give himself plenty of room to operate.

Their first rounder is no longer with the team. 4 of them are out of the league and two are still in the league. Their drafts have been awful and they've barely invested in their offensive line, so I don't see that as being anywhere similar to what the Chiefs have done under Reid, especially given that he's taken so many late round picks and turned them into average to above-average players. |

Another thing to consider as Mahomes cap goes up there will be some decisions to be made in 2022 some key guys contracts expire. IIRC Fisher is one of those guys. You pointed out there might not be a day 1 starter at LT year 1 but years 2 or 3? Gives you some flexibility from that standpoint. At the end of the day theres alot of ways Veach can go it's great to have options. I'm not really worried about it. I just want someone opposite of Clark as hes too up and down for my liking and think he should probably be shown the door with another season performance like last years. |

"When he was drafted the plan was to play him inside to start."
Don't know how you got him playing at G his whole career out of that statement but alright then. |

If the line was "ass", the Chiefs wouldn't have won 14 regular season games and made it to the Super Bowl. Quote:
Starting Caliber Left Tackles don't sit on the bench for 2 or 3 years. They're generally drafted in the Top Half of the 1st round or signed in Free Agency. I think the decision will to sign or draft a guy will be determined by whether or not the Chiefs are in a Championship Window at the time of need. |

Again. How did you extrapolate Niang playing at G his entire career out of that statement? I even posted the context of what Veach said and you turned it into this.

The talk of Niang starting at G was obviously when Fisher and Schwartz were healthy in a way to get your best 5 on the field.
Given the current situation, I don’t think he’s starting off at G coming into camp. |
