What part of the OL are you more confident in?

[RunKC]

Thought this was an interesting debate. What are you more confident in?

Poll incoming

That's not good.

Nope, but they clearly have plans to deal with the situation and it's not a good idea to abandon the idea of drafting a Tackle just because it didn't work out last time.

I’m surprised by the answers - kc has had good luck with the plug and play guards. But almost no luck with tackles (we had diff gm when we had our good tackles)

Except that I don't think that's true.

You don't draft a raw prospect with all of the traits and give up after like 3 games.

If you DO, then you should not be in charge of drafting NFL players.

Center.

Taylor and Trey are overpaid.

LG is a black box.

Moore is a projection based on limited PT.

I don't think they've given up on Kingsley. There might be a lot of debate as to exactly how to proceed with him, but I'm sure they haven't given up. OTOH, We just spent a lot of money on OT in free agency that appears to relegate Kingsley to either backup OT, or possibly to start at LG.

We have issues with both OTs and we just bought a 2 year mercenary to bridge the gap for us at LT. Taylor's contract is up after this year and I'm pretty sure he won't get another without a massive pay cut, so between his expiring contract and Moore's 2-year deal, we're going to be needing OTs. Even if they only work out to be backups, we need those too because the ones we have aren't cutting the mustard.

Or is competition. He's not getting paid a ton, and it's not a long term deal. Unlike everyone else on CP, I see playing Kingsley some at OG as getting him used to NFL game speed and strength/contact but not a white flag on him as an OT.

Jaylon Moore will literally decide our season. If he plays even decent ball like we got with Donovan Smith then we’ll be the best team in the league. If he struggles like Wanya and Kingsley then well won’t win the SB.

I hope this guy is at least decent.

TBH, I don't think we win that SB even with great LT and LG play. The game wasn't close enough to pin the entire loss on one position. The Eagles were just loaded, had a better gameplan, and were more motivated and hungry. The game would have been closer of course with more competent line play.

We're a contender regardless of LT, but yes, a solid LT makes the Chiefs less prone to falling apart when it counts.
