He's not played Left Tackle since high school. He played OG for Ohio State. He's all projection at this point. A "pretty safe" projection, but a projection none the less. The Chiefs did this once, in 2008. We drafted an OG, Branden Albert, in the 1st round intending that he play LT. It worked; he made a Pro Bowl. That was the Jamaal Charles draft. Until 2022 it was probably the best draft in the last 50 years. 14 hours ago, RedGold said: Johnson was the LT for all of 2022 As you say, it's less of an issue with Johnson.

onejayhawk Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 5 minutes ago, mayanfootball said: Let's not count on a 50yrs draft. I'm not, but the early returns are encouraging. A normal draft will produce a first year starter and an addition rotational player or two. A good draft will produce an immediate starter and multiple contributors, a couple of whom will eventually start. Drafts with an immediate impact player, like the Jets or the Lions in 2022are also good even without other contributors. The depth of our 2022 draft is unreal. We had two immediate starters, a third first year starter, and five eventual starter candidates--Skyy, Cook, Chenal, Williams, Watson. Add the three starters and useful 4th player from 2021 and our roster is suddenly well filled out. Veach has raised the bar on what constitutes a good draft.

onejayhawk Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) We are about a week away from the first wave of decent lists. For now 31: R1 P31 EDGE Lukas Van Ness - Iowa 63: R2 P32 OT Matthew Bergeron - Syracuse 95: R3 P32 S Sydney Brown - Illinois 122: R4 P20 RB Tank Bigsby - Auburn 134: R4 P32 TE Luke Schoonmaker - Michigan I Didn't get the DT I wanted so I took the value that fell to me. 31: R1 P31 TE Dalton Kincaid - Utah 63: R2 P32 G Cody Mauch - North Dakota State 95: R3 P32 EDGE Keion White - Georgia Tech 122: R4 P20 S Jammie Robinson - Florida State 134: R4 P32 WR Xavier Hutchinson - Iowa State Edited March 3, 2023 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayanfootball Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Post combine draft; no trades, PFN site; I suspect that KC, with releasing Frank Clark, will continue to bargain with Orlando Brown Jr. in hopes of finalizing a deal. 31. Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee 63. Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan 95. Will McDonald IV, Edge, Iowa St. 122. Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington St. 134. Cory Trice, CB, Purdue I don't think I can improve much as of3-11-2023. No OT. That's an issue. Hyatt is BPA and a need. He'll fit in with PM who must get the ball out quickly this next season. Mazi is STRONG and will help free up Chris Jones. Will McDonald will eventually replace Frank Clark. Henley is backup and special teamer. Trice is the better available of a very deep CB class.

KC_Guy Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 a post-"Brown & Clark are out" mock: #32 - OT Anton Harrison - Oklahoma. Traded down one slot and got the player I wanted plus #120 #52 - DT Gervon Dexter - Florida. Either rotate him with Jones in the middle or flip one of them outside. Traded up using #63, #122, and a 7th rounder #91 - WR A.T. Perry - Wake Forrest. Traded up using the highest 6th rounder on the board. After him there was a sharp drop-off in WR. #120 - ED Zach Harrison - Ohio State. The pick I got in the 1st round trade down. Athletic freak but may need some time. #134 - TE Luke Schoonmaker - Michigan. Didn't target TE, but he was by far the best quality on the board. #168 - CB Garrett Wiliams - Syracuse. Another "W" at CB; what can go wrong? I think covering all bases. Thought about drafting another OT, but decided a tier 2/3 vet (like Wylie or another one year hire) would probably be the better option here.

mayanfootball Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 If we must draft OT because we let Wylie walk........ 31. Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee 63. Mazie Smith, DT, Michigan 95.

mayanfootball Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'll take this draft if it fell to us; Post combine, PFN site, no trades 31. Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern 63. Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan 95. Wanya Morris, OT, Oklahoma 122. Sean Tucker, RB, Syracuse 134. Mike Morris, Edge, Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I don't think Skkiribski can stay outside. That's too high for us to take am OG. Rankings have Siaki Ika and Mazi Smith all over the place. I have seen them from the teens to the end of round #2, like here. Are you sure that you want your first Edge on Day #3?

I don't like mortgaging the future really either. Edited March 13, 2023 by mayanfootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was ranked #89 on the NFL list, right next to Thornhill. It seems clear that the team intends to use a FA for 2023. Someone like Donovan Smith would not be too expensive. Taylor Lewan would does not even impact the compensation formula if the knee can pass medical. 50 minutes ago, mayanfootball said: If KC continues to work the "quick release" offense, he can play outside. Fair enough. If he can play RT, Skoronski would be a beast. Now the problem is that you have two RT only tackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the best OT in the 2023 Draft. The short arms are a real handicap for a tackle. Guard, not so much. He’s a Pro Bowler at guard but just an average tackle if a team keeps him there. -- Executive for NFC team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
