I don't know. I just don't see him getting dominated in the trench fights as others saw. In terms of actual trench battles, he was outbattled (but not really dominated) by a tremendous talent in McDonald on short yardage situations, and he was pretty average in other battles. Not the elite talent you want to see out of a Right Tackle, but given his inexperience against top competition, at the Right Tackle position, and possibly battling hand issues, his level of play in trench fights can easily be explained away.

I'm in full agreement. People just freak becasue he was taken 1.1. People in KC don't know this but former Oiler Bruce Mathews, perhaps the best O-Lineman ever, was ABUSED his first year where he once gave up 4 sacks in 1 game to the Dallas Cowboys and I believe 3 of them were to Ed "Too-Tall" Jones. He went on to play every position on the OL and become All Pro at 3 of them and was voted to the Pro Bowl 14 times...Patience.
