Yes, some of them will eventually become good or even great starting offensive lineman in the NFL. Most aren't ready to come in and provide the Chiefs with anything day 1 and many never will. For every David Bakhtiari you find beyond round 1, there are 20 more Jason Spriggs that absolutely look the part but aren't.

“A lot of these guys I keep promoting”? Like who?
I’m sorry man, but you can be very condescending when it comes to talking about prospects and where they will go. The only difference between you and I is I don’t pretend to know with certainty.
Also, I said nothing about guys going higher because of their Pro Day or media attention. Nothing at all. Quite the opposite actually.
I remember when you told me that there’s was no chance that the Chiefs could get Juan Thornhill in the 2nd. Good times.
