*****The Wanya Morris Thread*****

[Dante84]

More to come!

Wanya Morris was drafted with pick 92 of round 3 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 8.35 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 215 out of 1294 OT from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/KnzoH8NdfS pic.twitter.com/KZgxtMNcfb

Pick 95: Wanya Morris OT OU

The competition at RT isn't eye popping but it may be enough to feel comfortable to not reach. Adding another hat to the ring may be the move.

Morris has the length and natural movement the Chiefs often look for at OT. Clean up his hands & thrive pic.twitter.com/tDDr7f22NC

I wonder if Veach has another vet like Smith on standby because Morris and Kingsley are completely unplayable at this point. We are basically betting everything on DJs knee holding up.

14 attempts in a low scoring game is not enough though imo especially with the quality of pass protection on display

And yeah the LT is terrible but so was Cam Erving and we scored 27 points per game in the 9 games he started in 2019 (including 2 games with Matt Moore where we scored 24 and 26 points). In that stretch Mahomes threw for 321 yards a game with 15TDs to 1 INT.

I'm not expecting that, but still we're nowhere near that level of execution and play from anyone on the team.


But yeah I agree, I wanted them to lose because they need a wake up call in the worst way. They keep playing shitty but are still rewarded with wins. We can't expect that to continue in the playoffs.

The coaching

Several of us have mentioned this, they’d be wise to sign Smith too if he’s interested. If not him, some other veteran who can play in a pinch.

If this organization puts Morris or Kingsley back on the field this year, especially now in crunch time, it’s incredibly irresponsible of them. Like, the worst position they could possibly put Mahomes and the team in. It cannot happen.

Once Morris’ knee completely heals, he’s a fine backup.

So if Humphries goes down in the playoffs, you’re comfortable throwing Morris back in there?

You are a brave soul.

I think they look tired. The early bye, the slate of teams with very, very good defensive lines and Morris is nursing a bad knee. i I know we are all hoping the recently signed LT is going to be great, I wonder how, if he was so good and LT is a prized position, just how did the Chiefs land him

Don't give up on Kingsley yet.

Sometimes, it seems like NFL scouts are as accurate as weather forecasters...

Morris at 100% is just as good or better than the dregs available in free agency. It’s the salary cap era and Mahomes is a huge percentage of the cap - this team can’t afford high quality starters on the back end of the roster.

[Chieftain]

Kingsley has enough intangibles to be a servicable starter one day. If tackle doesn't work, he will be a decent guard. I don't see that as a lost pick. It felt right when we picked him. This ain't a Breeland Speaks or FAU scenario.

I mean... no team has a perfect backup at every position, it's a salary capped league. The last two years our swing tackle was Niang.

[O.city]

He can’t play another snap at LT

Schwartz talked about it on xm post game but he keeps getting beat the same way. At some point it’s on the player

I’m not sure he’s even an nfl player at this point

[Sassy Squatch]

Plenty folks have said it. Decent replacement for either Thuney or Smith. Going to be pretty hard to get beaten like that playing on the inside.

Absolutely possible, but man he looked like he'd never played football. He has a LOT to work on.

[RunKC]

Use Wanya as a 6th OL in obvious running and other situations.

Hell I love what Harbaugh is doing putting athletic lineman at FB on some running plays. Might be a nice use for Wanya for the rest of this year

[Sassy Squatch]

Suamataia is better for that.
