I was kidding. However, your original point about "that same line of thinking is why we went into the season with Moore and Toney pencilled in as the starters" doesn't make any sense. Your making the case that we went into the season with unknown quantities at starting spots and it failed. If that's your fear then we should absolutely sign Donovan Smith and ensure we don't re-live that situation this year but this time it's at LT.

Didn’t Bakhtiari get his leg amputated?

Atleast get thru OTA's and see what you got here.

SB teams don't generally take a super raw dude and go yep that's the guy at the 2nd most important position on offense.

If it is Wanya Morris we failed

At this point, unless something else happens, I don't see an upgrade out there at FA. Sure you could bring in Smith but I'm not sure he's light years better than Kingsley or Wanya. As long as neither of them are just downright horrible....start one.

Don't draft super raw guys that early.

The only way to learn is to play. He's never gonna be in a better situation than he will be this year to learn and such.

I can't figure why people don't think he can't be atleast as good as OBJ and Smith.....had it on CP authority they both sucked.

I think they will try it. Let them battle it out in camp but if the winner doesn't look good enough they will get a vet in to start.

LT's that aren't raw go in the top 15 picks...usually top 10.

I mean yes David Bahktiari was a 4th round pick that basically played LT from day 1 but he's literally a unicorn, that shit never happens.

The Franchise 04-29-2024 12:04 PM

Braxton Jones was a 5th round pick who hasn’t been horrible at LT.

It happens but is rare.

Buffalo's Dion Dawkins was a 3rd round pick who started at LT his rookie year I believe.

The only FA option for the Chiefs is Smith IMO. He knows the system, he's only 30, and he is exactly what we need, a little stop gap insurance policy. Otherwise, I think the Chiefs are going to roll with Kingsley. They are going to give that kid every opportunity to win the job and I'm all for it.

I also think C.J. Hanson and Hunter Nourzad both make the roster. Allegretti's absence provides space on the roster for both these cats, and frankly, Lucas Niang probably gets cut or traded if Morris or Kingsley look good in camp.

The reason I used Bahktiari is because he did that for Aaron Rodgers...the other 2 examples we have here in Dawkins and Jones literally were protecting on awful teams with shitass QBs.

It's a lot easier to make that call when the franchise isn't back there.

Well yea the Eagles signed Becton which I find annoying.

They also don’t usually trade their hof wr in his prime or roll with all rookie or young defensive backs or go with an unproven wr group or………
