I absolutely agree with you on almost everything above. I took Eichenberg in my latest mock draft this morning. I think at worst, he can start at RT. At best, he can start at LT. That fills at least one hole. You'd still need a center since we're all assuming Reiter will get too much money but you wouldn't have any gaping holes at guard or RT, since Wylie, Remmers, Niang, and LDT to fight out those positions. |

Why not?
He played extremely well against the Chargers in Week 17 and was by far the best LG on the roster in 2019. If the Chiefs decide to pass on a left tackle in favor of waiting for Fisher, I think there's a good possibility that he heads into camp as the starter at Left Tackle. |

For the record, I'm not saying that he's an above average Right Tackle at this moment in time.
I'm saying that if he had a full offseason and training camp at Right Tackle, there's a chance he'd be above average because he's shown that on short notice, he can more than hold his own at the RT slot and against a very good defensive line in the Saints. |

I'm not real comfortable with him being penciled in as a starting tackle. |

He's been in the Chiefs system now for two years, so it's time to shit or get off the pot. Again, he played well at LT vs. Chargers and looked really good while doing it. He's certainly better than Cam Erving, who started 8 games in 2019 for the Chiefs and went 5-3 with him. I'd prefer to have a guy with experience at Left Tackle as opposed to a rookie drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round next season. |

And if I remember from watching some Texans games....even Tunsil didn’t look that great.

The Chiefs have Niang, and I'm currently assuming he's the man for the job? If anything, the Chiefs would try Wylie (or preferably Remmers) at LT next year as a placeholder until Fisher returns by, ostensibly, December or January. |

I'm not going to assume anything about him. He might not even be a starter opening day. |

Wylie is ass at RG. He was okay for a stretch of the Saints game at RT.
If he does well at RT on Sunday I’ll give him credit but his presence thus far in his time here is very lackluster at best. |

They can't replace everybody in one offseason, it's just not possible. |

Mahomes is never going to have the kind of protection that you and others seem to think that he needs because he's always extending plays and running around. He's not a 5 or 7 step drop QB. |

Most definitely has the size and speed. He's worth a late mid-rounder, say in the 4th, but he's not a guy you can count on developing. He's a luxury pick more than anything. He might be a star, he might be out of the league in 2 years.

I will never understand how the Chiefs "terrible" offensive line rendered the team to a 16-2 record and another Super Bowl appearance.

Wylie is always getting beat. I see him getting owned badly at least twice a game. Fortunately Patrick Mahomes is awesome mitigates it. |
