Right Tackle?
 

The Chiefs have needs.... everywhere this offseason. Veach is going to be earning his paycheck.

WR, the entire DL, the entire secondary... it's a lot.

But what about the RT position? I feel like it's a bit forgotten in the mix.

Schwartz and Remmers aren't coming back due to debilitating back injuries. Wylie held down the position pretty decently but the Chiefs had to give him a lot of help to pull it off, and he's a free agent anyway.

What resources are you willing to throw at this position? Poll forthcoming.

They'll probably get somebody in free agency. Plus who knows what they want to do with Niang.

Bring back Wylie on a 1 year deal.
Draft a guy in the later rounds.

Camp battle.

Imagine we will bring Wylie back - or sign a similar vet tackle that can/has play left and right side. Depending on how they feel about Niang, if they still think he is the answer that might be all they do, but if they are uncertain about Niang then we might see them draft versatile lineman in the later rounds

Veach will find another draft gem...

You don't need to do too much. The solution is either on the roster or easily signable.

Does Trent Brown fit our OL Block Scheme?

Good ****ing lord no. Brokedick supreme.

Talk to me about what we're looking for at RT and what the difference is between OL schemes? I'm curious

Why not Kyle Long/ Niang?

They liked Kyle enough to keep him on the team all year. He has been training at the NFL level for over a year now.

He can play RT or G, Andy likes those kind of guys. He has played the RT position at the probowl level.

He wont break the bank and we dont create another hole for Veach.

I think you roll with Niang as your main option and sign a vet. There's always experienced guys floating around out there who end up signing for close to the minimum to get one last shot at a ring, like Dennis Kelly for the Packers this year.

Or we could just go all in and draft/sign a stud and have the best o-line in the league. Depends on what Bark Varch decides is the best route. They seem to really like Niang though so I'm betting on him getting first dibs.

Niang vs a mid-tier FA vet...best man wins

Yeah this is correct. Several options. One is bound to pan out.

If there is a premium RT that can also swing to LT if needed that would be optimum. We need flexible pieces, we can't have the fiasco we faced in the 2nd SB.

Pretty much. I don't feel it's necessary to invest a high round pick at this juncture. We saw what the OL was capable of with mediocre talent at RT and they were fine. With all our other needs, the most we should be doing is digging for a RT in the later rounds as insurance for Niang dying again and signing depth.
