I can see swing tackle for a year, but he was drafted to start at OT, probably LT. The real question is how many developmental talents we can handle at once. Niang should at least be ready to play, but PTW is not and Durant is dicey and there is Darryl Williams. If we add a C and another developmental player, do we run out of room?

onejayhawk Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Free agency is going to be unusually deep in talent this year. The Chiefs are one of the cases on point. This article points to how things are developing. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/2/19/22291548/free-agency-could-be-wild-and-the-chiefs-stand-to-benefit J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayanfootball Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Dunno what we can afford to take from Free Agency. We need to cut payroll, not add to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J See that’s going way to far. Now Niang is Mayfield? He hasn’t played football in quite a while let’s pump the brakes. This sort of thinking is gonna lose us games and SBs. a 3rd round pick is still a 3rd rounder. Sometimes you get a Kelce or Houston, other times a Phillip Gaines or Keivare Russell Brandon Speaks was supposed to start too and we know how that turned out. Not saying he’ll be that bad but just because you have high expectations doesn’t mean they’ll succeed like you hoped. which is why I think replenishing the well with more options/talent can only be a good thing. Breeds competition, and it’s long overdue with a lot of expiring contracts on the OL incoming. Edited February 22, 2021 by Chiefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeds competition, and it’s long overdue with a lot of expiring contracts on the OL incoming. Why is it going too far? In the stellar 2020 class, Niang was graded top 5 or so. TDN had it Wills, Wirfs, Thomas, Becton, Niang. He was pushed to the 3rd round solely by the injury, which is said to be fully healed. He may not have played in over a year, but he has gotten to know the team and the system. I stand by the statement that Niang is better than anyone we will have a chance to pick, except Mayfield if he lasts that long. Niang and Mayfield are also similar player types--mobile and athletic. I am all for replenishing the well. It is called the talent acquisition phase after all. that's why you scrap the plan and take Alijah Vera-Tucker or Christian Barmore if one of them slides to us. It does not mean ignoring what is already on the roster. Brandon Speaks? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Niang at LT is pushing it, imo. His pretty athletic for a man his size, but he'd be on the lower end for LT's in the league. I think he dropped in part because of injury and that he didn't have the feet for LT. Bobby Massie was a good comparison for him, I think he's a bit better than Massie, but the same positional value. He could hold his own at LT in a more run heavy offense, but don't see it with how much we drop back. Not that I see anything wrong with putting him at RT, I think that's the best spot for him and KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
