My completely untrained opinion that isn’t worth two dicks: the move to G might help mitigate his terrible footwork in space, but he lacks the mean streak to be effective without proper technique on the inside. His footwork is bad, his hand fighting sucks, he’s not a technician, and he’s not a mauler. The least a lineman can do is be nasty. He doesn’t have any of those qualities and that makes him basically unplayable. He’s a 2nd round pick so he’ll get his opportunity, but like Skyy Moore, he doesn’t even look like an NFL player at the moment. It’ll require a complete 180 if he wants to be a major contributor on this roster. |

I would really love to know more about what the Chiefs think of Driskell at this stage. He's been given a legit redshirt treatment -- the Chiefs don't think of him like the other OTs they've casually tried to develop in the past like Prince Winnebago because he's been taking up one of the 53 roster spots all year. That tells me they like a lot about him but don't want him to play? Are they actually trying to carve out a longterm depth role for him?
I guess I don't really see the point of keeping him around like they've been doing if they're not eventually expecting he'll contribute in some capacity. And I wonder what that could look like. In any case it just sucks that we're carrying two redshirt tackles like this now. Would be nice if he could be better than awful if Wanya goes down again. |

Now FWIW, Penei Sewell wasn't good his rookie year either. He won't ever be Penei, but he could improve a bunch.

Based on how much it was reported that Veach tried to keep Trey Smith, it is probably not likely we spend at all on any LT should they be available. And the ones available aren’t worth the cost it would seem.
But it seems like Veach is hellbent on keeping this IOL together for a little longer and I really don’t blame him.
