And you could look a little longer at the guys that profile at RT as well.

Because Taylor may well be on a 1-year deal in his own right at this point.

I still don't think I'm gonna lean the direction when the pick is actually up, but it's something worth considering more as a long-term developmental track at RT and as a possible LT if you aren't satisfied with Moore in a couple years.

Gonna be honest here. Not great tape from him. Reminds me a little of Orlando struggling with outside speed at times but handling bull rushes well.

Not perfect but he has a floor and it’s way higher than anything we had last year. I would take Orlando Brown Jr back over the shit we’ve had.

Every Jaylon Moore 3rd and medium-long one-on-one True Pass set from last year.

- Consistently in the way
- Good latch when connected
- Generally balanced through set
- Pressed by speed & length
- Wasn't asked to get deep up the arc
- Ball was out QUICK pic.twitter.com/q1G9s7exB3

I know he was in a strange spot and didnt get a chance but if he was really the guy he would have.

I let other people worry about dollars and cap hits, so ignoring that, I want as much talent in training camp as possible. Let the best man win.

Holy shit, considering Dan Moore got $21M/year from the Flaming Thumbtacks, this looks like a goddamn bargain.

What you don't see is him getting destroyed and losing quick. That's great.

Perfect deal that allows Kingsley to develop and find his place and a vet that can man the LT position long term if he continues to develop.

PFF grades improved each year, which is exactly what you want to see.

Another great deal by Veach and his crew.

The Chiefs are developing Kingsley to be a guard... the ship has sailed for him to be a LT.

This is one of the positives with this signing... if Simmons falls late in the first round and within striking distance, the Chiefs could reasonably trade up to get him.

Justifying that move if they were paying Cam Robinson $20+ million a year would be a little more difficult.

Really? After two starts?

I'm mystified by all of this. He was deemed a really good LT prospect. Have the Chiefs given up on him at LT or is Chiefsplanet speculating?

That's because deep up the arc is a really piss-poor deficiency of Patrick Mahomes and it stresses the **** out of his tackles. This video is pretty well picture-perfect of how OTs are trained to ride guys around a normal arc. It will be a learning curve for any OT to deal with Pat.

Patella injury is extremely worrisome. Majority of players who had that injury were never the same again.

He also has really short arms. Barely 33 inches.

Pretty sure they made this move and overpaid bc they don’t like the options at LT in this draft

But yeah it will mostly be defensive, especially the first rd

Hopefully he picked up all the tips and trips from playing behind Trent Williams because I wouldn’t rely on Heck to pickup his game.

In my initial reading, it seems like there are a lot of running backs I like with Day 2 projections. I'm hoping we pick up one of them. I'm not averse to a Day 1 guy if they see someone they like, but it seems like Day 2 is a sweet spot based on my shallow research to date.
