I think everyone wishes Fisher hadn't gotten hurt, and we weren't scrambling to figure out LT. The fact remains, he's got a torn achilles to rehab, and was having back problems before that, and missed some games the last two years, and is now over 30. Even if the achilles heals ok, he's still a 320lb. man with back issues. That doesn't usually get better. |

Remmers at RT is fine, and maybe Niang is fine. But even if he's fine, Mahomes deserves better than fine at the tackle position, does he not? If there is a quarterback in the league that needs better than fine, it's Mahomes. |

I have my own personal opinion that the line will likely be better. But better than bad does not equal good. Are you confident at any position other than LG? Serious question. And keep in mind, the stakes are higher for us than anybody else in the league, because of who we have under center. |

Maybe Niang is really good at RT?

96% winning percentage. If Fisher is on the roster right now, I'd feel a ton better about our chances in February than I do right now. |

But speaking probabilistically, Niang is probably not going to be a Pro Bowl caliber LT his rookie year. Fisher probably will be, whenever he returns in 2021. My personal view on the film I've seen since we signed Blythe is that he's on par with Reiter. And I'm being dead serious when I say that I'm not even sure Long starts Week 1. |

I’m confident in every position except LT right now. LG is improved. C is improved because Reiter was the definition of meh. Blythe is average and we don’t need a superstar there. RG is fine. Long, when healthy is above average. LDT and Wylie are capable backups that can fill in if needed. RT has depth and an actual competition. Niang, IMO, is a solid RT. If he takes a little bit of time then Remmers can fill in. And I’ve already said that I would be good with Okung and a LT in the first two rounds to take over mid season if Okung gets hurt. |

The people hoping that Niang is a LT are at the same place that you are. |

He probably won't be ready to play at a 'pro bowl level' until mid-season at the very earliest, and that's quite an optimistic guess at that. The cool thing about our chances in February is that it's APRIL ****ING FIRST and it's way, way too early to be puckering our bungholes about what the roster will look like in September when the season starts. |

Niang is talented and I still believe he's going to be a really good RT but we genuinely do not know what's coming down the pipeline there. |
