Right Tackle?

[Direckshun]

The Chiefs have needs.... everywhere this offseason. Veach is going to be earning his paycheck.

WR, the entire DL, the entire secondary... it's a lot.

But what about the RT position? I feel like it's a bit forgotten in the mix.

Schwartz and Remmers aren't coming back due to debilitating back injuries. Wylie held down the position pretty decently but the Chiefs had to give him a lot of help to pull it off, and he's a free agent anyway.

What resources are you willing to throw at this position? Poll forthcoming.

Camp battle.

Been saying it for a couple months now - Wylie is a PERFECT candidate for the 4-year veterans exemption.

Under the 4-year qualifying player benefit, the Chiefs could offer Wylie a 1 year deal for $2.42 million and slightly less than half of that would count against the cap.

Now maybe he played his way into a better deal on the market - it's not impossible. But we'd have said the same thing about Reiter and that dude ended up bouncing on and off practice squads all year.

Offer it to him quick and see if he wants to spin the wheel and take his chances. Then find another Remmers/Blythe kind of under the radar veteran and hope that Niang makes the entire conversation moot by flat out earning the job.

I'd like to see Niang develop, but I wonder if he's not injury prone. I'd rather keep Remmers over Wylie and that dream of Long playing RT. I keep wondering what is the plan with the Prince. It seems they've slotted him to be a backup LT.

[Direckshun]

Given the injury he suffered, Niang is going to start the season on IR and may not play in 2022.

[dlphg9]

Niang is toast. Dude is injured all the time. He was injured his rookie year too, but took the year off for COVID correct?

Mitchell Schwartz would be awesome, but idk if he will ever feel good enough to play again. I love the guy. He's on 610 often and hes smart as hell. He really seems to love KC.

[oldman]

I'm done with "G than can play T" (aka Wylie). Long will never see the field again for any length of time. Go with Remmers at RT, hope Niang will be ready at some point in the season. If not, look for look for one of those Big 10 roadgrader dudes in the 5th or 6th. We don't need to draft WRs after the 2nd or 3rd round. We had 16, yes 16, of them in camp last year and still wound up with the same 6 plus Gordon. That should tell you something.

Zackly. Theyre not gonna admit to a mistake after one, err two years.

He’s probably frequently injured because of his conditioning. He’s not willie roaf. Very few tackles can look like this and play well and stay healthy.

Pro athletes that don’t take care of their body get on my nerves. Compare Niang to trey smith. Massive legs and good build. He’s obviously working at taking care of himself and it shows up in his play and RT needs to be able to be more athletic than guard.

[Otter]

If Rasheed Walker is available in the 3rd I'd have a hard time passing up on him. Let him sit behind a vet mentioned above for at least a year and may have a long term starter. Potential out the wazoo.

Plenty of potential still left in Trey Smith as well.

He looks much bigger with shoulder pads and a helmet on.

So you're saying there's a chance? I think doctors gave Alex Smith less chance than that. I'm not worried about Swartz but would love him 'back' in good condition for depth but I think Wily can secure the position. I do want to draft a RT in later rounds.

I can see Swartz giving it the ol college try but mostly as a camp fodder.

[Chris Meck]

Schwartz is done. He's going to bang his hot little wifey and enjoy the fact that he can walk without a cane when he's 50.

Dropping that weight is the best thing in the world for his back.

He's done.
