And it's not like those OL were drafted very high. Besides Kingsley who are you talking about?
Getting the best OL we can should be the single most important thing to Veach and the Chiefs.
Nothing I have seen gives me confidence that Kingsley, Morris or anyone on our roster can step in as our new starting RG and not have problems.
Did we all forget with how Smith seemed to take a step backwards when Taylor became our RT? With Taylors DEEEEEEP drops it puts more pressure on the RG than usual. Go sign Jackson or Stanley to fix LT and then get a cheap stud guard at #31! Morris and Kingsley can still be developed. Best case would be Kingsley DOES develop and can take over for either Taylor OR Thuney the following year.

Sounds like our OL coach isn’t coaching any of them very good imo. But Andy would never fire him, and Veach obviously won’t force the issue despite it being a pretty glaring issue. We can just keep on wasting valuable picks on players our coaches can’t develop into starters. I’m sure it will work out splendidly.
