I honestly would love to add Andrew Norwell to LG. I know that’s big money but that position was awful last year. That worked for Oakland with Carr and Osemele. Just a thought about Mahomes’ protection

I think we'll see the OL actually look better this year by default of having a QB who can move his feet within the pocket and still throw downfield. No more running into a sack.

Kcrockaholic makes a decent point there too. It is my personal belief that Pat’s playing style resembles Aaron Rodgers. Well, Rodgers makes his line look better than it is almost year in and year out due to the threat he presents throwing outside of the pocket. This is something Veach will need to consider too before paying big cash for the LG. If they can sign him for $12M per, I’d do it for sure. But I don’t see him getting any less than $13-$14M. |

Sure hope Veach does SOMETHING at LG, there isnt much I'm bullish about as far as needing new offensive talent at the moment.... but LG is a must IMO
It doesnt seem unreasonable to ask for just ONE new offensive starter... its been a revolving door of jags far too long |

Norwell and any expensive signing on the offensive side of the ball would be terrible and short-sighted IMO. I am pretty sure Veach won't go for Norwell. It also depends of what he wants to do with Morse who will be a free agent after this upcoming season.
Whatever you call revolving door at LG did not hinder this team from having the leading rusher in the league, Smith have his best season ever and an overall top 5 offense if I am not mistaken. I would look to possibly draft a LG, ideally versatile player, as the Chiefs will not just draft on the defensive side of the ball. Or else, you go for a reasonable free agent option and you still have Ehinger who showed some promise in his rookie year. The big money should go to the defense which obviously needs it. And you guys need to realize that it will be very expensive to resign Hill, Jones, Peters, Fuller, etc in two years. If you sign Norwell, you might very well be saying goodbye to one of those players. Really, the best thing would be to draft a LG in the 3rd or 4th round.

You know, it is kinda weird how easily we forget about Parker Ehinger. The guy was a 4th round pick and started day one. He actually looked like an ascending, solid player before his injury.
He tore 3 of the 4 major knee ligaments, though. A devastating injury. He essentially got redshirted this year. Maybe he’s their plan A at LG? Cheap, and has showed promise. This gives him an offseason to regain strength and power. It makes some sense. |

Let Morse/Ehinger battle it out at LG. The loser can be the reserve player along with Erving and a draft pick. Devey won’t be back and Witzmann should get cut. Ehinger is almost $700,000 cheaper than Witzmann too... |

If we could keep Fulton for a reasonable price, I’d be all for this.

He is tall and lanky, with no bucket... and honestly, he didnt look all that great while healthy IMO It was more of a 'hey, not too bad for a rookie 4th rounder' kinda thing We need a drive blocking badass in the mix, I'm just tired of this lightweight mobility kick, some of that is great for pulling, versatility etc... but a good line also needs a few manimal snotknockers |

If you meant offensive skill positions, meh let them disagree... Mahomes has a trio most QBs would kill for in Hill, Hunt, and Kelce Quote:
