Guys, let's not re-litigate the Niang situation.
It's entirely possible it's a huge contradiction that he participated in a BLM protest and then opted out of the season. It's also entirely possible that he participated in a single BLM protest because it was an emotional time and issue for him and he tried to keep appropriate distance from others. And it's possible he didn't see a contradiction in opting out of an NFL season where close contact was going to be the norm and no one had any idea how the season or the evolution of the virus was likely to proceed. I wouldn't be shocked if he deeply regretted that decision regardless of how the Chiefs had done. It's also possible the guy has personal issues that we have no idea about. We'll see what he's able to contribute next year. If we can win a SB without him this season, it's a nice win for the Chiefs that he chose to opt out as we have another year of his control. |

If we are going for the first 3 peat in NFL history we need to do anything possible to keep the offensive line together. 1. Wish Fish a speedy recovery hopefully he is back early next year. 2. LDT comes back after a year away playing his best football. 3. Schwartz gets over the back issues with a full offseason possibly corrective surgery. 4. Draft your center for next ten years with your second/third rounder.
LT - Fish LG - Allegretti C - Draft RG - LDT RT - Schwartz All of that said I have a hard time believing Veach spent a third on Niang if he wasn't planning to move on from one of the tackles or LDT after this year. |

I think we all knew Niang was the wildcard when we drafted him. If he hit it would make the rookie class special. But then Wharton, Sneed and Danna happened while Clyde was awesome and Gay looks promising. It would suck if the guy doesn’t work out but it feels like we’re playing with house money. |

Depends on the rookies. We've had hot garbage playing o-line all year and we're gonna be in the Super Bowl.

Value has to be taken into account. LB in the first is absolutely out of the question. OT, DE, WR, DB - those are positions of value in round 1 and they're much more valuable as well. |

Two rookie tackles is a good recipe to get your QB killed. |

You could sell me on Pat Freiermuth at 32 though. That'd make this O sick nasty.

I certainly hope with a full off-season he gets more opportunity to grow. |
