But honestly... priority #2 for me is REALLY ensuring that Mahomes is safe at the bookends. I've hated the idea going back to midway through Alex's time here that one of our short-armed bowling ball OGs is Mahomes' blindside protection should Fisher go down. Or maybe they move Schwartz over and put in somebody at RT. Either way, as good as Schwartz is, I'd rather get a line of development going at the OT position and secure those backup spots with real OTs.

The whole, "this guy has OL versatility" is crucially important and all, and occasionally it can uncover some gems, such as finding out that Fulton and even Devey are actually pretty damn good OCs. But I absolutely hate chancing it like that on the OT position. One ACL tear is all it takes for our deadly passing attack to get severely neutered all because Cameron freakin Erving looks like an elephant in clown makeup on roller skates when he's filling in at LT.

As for the LG position, I'm still gonna say no. We redshirted McKenzie all season. He was on the 53 man roster all year. 1 of 53 spots was taken up by his fat ass on the bench all year. All because we were afraid he would be scooped up by some team if we tried to send him to the practice squad. That's the same approach we took with LDT if you recall. If he weren't making progress and moving towards something respectable in team practices, one would imagine Reid and Veach would be more interested in freeing up that extra roster spot, especially with so many OL guys already on the team (didn't we wind up with like 10 OL by the end of the season or something like that?)

And to be honest, the same goes for Jimmy Murray. Dude had a looooot of inactive weeks that we carried him on. If he were just a guy that the team didn't think could make a difference next year, we would have either left him on the practice squad or hoped we could have brought him back next offseason to compete in training camp... or just flushed him down the toilet.

No, you don't pass on worthy OL prospects if they fall to you in the draft just because you have those two, but I don't think the Chiefs see LG as that big of a deal to fix. And to be quite honest, I'm not going to be surprised if they also let the draft go by without drafting a replacement for Morse, either.

I could see McKenzie taking the LG position. He's going to be a monster. They kept him on the roster for a reason. That could slide Irving to the backup G/C or move him to starting C over Reiter.

Irving sucks ass at center. Guard is his best position. Fisher and Schwartz are set at tackles. Wylie needs to be starting. Get him to LG. Start Reiter at Center or Devey. They both did really good. Morse can go. He’s really good. Hasn’t given up a sack since 2015 but he will cost money. LDT slides back in at RG. Set. WR you have Hill, Watkins and Robinson as for sure locks. Dieter will probably get a spot because he plays really good special teams. Pringle will be here. Dat and Conley are gone. Maybe draft a WR somewhere in the draft.

Yeah you absolutely pay Fuller and now is the perfect time.

If anybody wants to give Morse more than a year, have at. He is a hit away from retirement. I think you welcome him back on a one year deal, Reiter wasn't signed to start. I wouldn't be shocked to see us draft a couple OL this year, including a center.

Then just draft the center and say goodbye to Morse. Intend for him to start. If he’s absolute AIDS, re-sign Devey to that stop gap contract.

Morse likely won’t go cheap one year, and if he did, he wouldn’t be happy about us saying, “you’re only around here just in case the new guy can’t get the job done.”

Khalil McKenzie has the perfect body to be a C. His huge ass and tree trunk legs will make it hard for big NT’s to bull rush him. He’s also got really good athleticism for a guy that big.

I think he will replace Morse next year.

Idk if McKenzie will start at center, LG, or anywhere in 2019, but I wouldn’t write it off. Reid isn’t afraid to throw his linemen into different spots, we know this.

But i want to make a huge push for CJ Mosley and if not him KJ Wright.... I need a aggressive big fast MLB

I don't hate it. I'd rather pay for a FA LB and devote the draft to the defensive backfield. If you look at the money, drafting CBs is the only way to go.
