I’m not totally against it, but I’d prefer EDGE or WR.
Niang, if he’s healthy, should be Schwartz’s replacement, and Fisher will likely get an extension. Re-sign Remmers and let him and Niang compete for RT. |

All about who is available to me.
If they pass on Jaelan Phillips, Toney, or Marshall to take Teven Jenkins or Alijah Vera-Tucker, I won’t be pissed, but I’d be disappointed. |

As I don't think you want to go into a year with a rookie left tackle being forced to protect Mahomes, I agree it's ideal to draft a tackle a year early if/when a LT is needed. That being said, I think an extension this off-season for Fisher should be a priority IF they do in fact intend to keep him long term. The issue is the compensation. Fisher simply is not worth the $20 million or so a year top left tackles are getting. If they can get him for maybe 4 years, $60 million or so I think that would be wise to go ahead and extend him to avoid the uncertainty with him entering free agency after 2021. However, if that doesn't happen then I think you're forced to take a tackle in the first 2 rounds to prepare for the possibility of someone else manning the position starting in 2022.

Fisher isn't going anywhere. They're not going to take an OT in the 1st.

The Chiefs aren't taking an offensive lineman in the 1st round.
This isn't 1960 or 1970 or 1980 or 1990 or 2000 or even 2010. This is a different Chiefs team that's built on skill players and a QB, not on the offensive line, which can be fleeting at best. How well did the Cowboys do after loading up their offensive line with 1st round picks while starting a 4th round QB? Or how about those Browns? |

I'd go up and grab a guy like Slater if he dropped far enough.

Now, it was just one article, and I don't even remember who wrote it, so probably that guy knew as much about who KC might draft as I do. But based on Andy's recent history, I'd be shocked if he took a OL in the 1st. |

I know that was under Dorsey, but it’s still the Andy Reid era. |

I have ER as the top need, followed closely by WR, and then OL (specifically RT and Center)
Now, I like Phillips, Rousseau, Oweh, Jones, and Weaver as fits on the edge. I'm not overly excited about Paye or Basham early. I'm not so sure I'd spend a 1 on Oweh. I think the kids from Miami are gone. That leaves looking the ones from Pitt, and that DL was very talented. So, who is a beneficiary and who is the difference maker? I've been a fan of Weaver but I'm unsure about round 1 with him as well. I like him more than his teammate Jones as a guy that generates his own wins. At WR, I have Chase, Smith, Waddle, Marshall, Toney, and Stevenson as guys I like early. I think the first three go pretty early. I think we'd have a to move up a handful of slots to get Marshall. I could be a buyer on either of the other 2 but... That kind of leaves the what you bring up at OT and I'm a big fan of keeping Mahomes breathing. I don't trust Niang enough after an opt out rookie year to lock him in. I've said all along that if Jalen Mayfield is sitting there, I'd have a really hard time passing him up. I maintain that stance. I feel like Mayfield is that Schwartz/Conklin quality of RT that you don't find many of. This is a guy that went toe-to-toe with Chase Young and pretty well shut him down. He's the only OT I'd consider round 1. So would I take Mayfield over Jones, Weaver, Toney, and Stevenson? The answer for me is a resounding yes. I have alot more faith a really good receiver is there at the end of 2 or 3 than I do a RT of Mayfield's quality. You also have the opportunity to fix two spots with one pick by kicking Niang to guard. |

It's gonna be awesome to watch them use premium currency on offensive linemen only to have Patrick out there running around and people still blaming it on the offensive line.

And that’s exactly what will happen because people seem to think that great lines can keep a mobile QB upright while holding their blocks for 7 or more seconds.
