blkwdw13 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yes his rookie season he played center. They moved him there the week before the first game of the season. He has only played a few games at G. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WhitCo03.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember that he was originally drafted to play LG but was forced to play C because of Grasu going down and Sitton becoming available.

WindyCity Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 36 minutes ago, G08 said: Makes sense to me... LT > RT > OG > C Find a 4th or 5th rounder you love at let him compete with Grasu at center. Cut Massie, kick Whitehair over to LG, let Morgan take another year to develop and Kush can backup all three positions (assuming we even keep him). Based on the Reid model they have always seemed to invest more at the C position. Kelce was UDFA But is one of the best in the game and Mitch Morse was a 2nd round pick. They put a big emphasis on the C getting out in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think a signing of Zach Fulton makes too much sense. Played for both Nagy and Hiestand, is an upgrade to the line and allows them to move players to their best positions. This could then allow them to focus on a pass rusher or DB in the 1st and hit OL later in the draft. You would need to get Fulton on a cheaper deal than Sitton. He isn’t as good as Sitton, but he is younger and more versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have an interior OL making a combined 32 million. Unless Long is released. As soon as Whitehair is due an extension Long is gone...I love him as a player but this is a business after all.

He has also shown a tendency to prefer longer taller OGs...especially in KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs, like the Saints, are big on the tall, small school OT moving to OG. Chiefs right bow 6’5”, McGill 6’7” South Dakota St 6’6” Memphis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of signing a guy like Norwell who will command top $ it might make more sense to draft Quenton Nelson if available. You would have him under fairly cheap control for the next 5 years with Whitehair likely getting extended at some point in the next 2 years and assuming that Long will be here at least the next 2 seasons due to the big cap hits they'd take by cutting him before then. Also considering that they may need to re-sign Massie or a new RT after the 2018 season I don't think it makes sense to tie up that much money into your interior OL for the next 2-3 seasons.

But what impact playmakers are you then signing? Truth we badly need both and I think the interior OL market will be better than the playmaker one in FA.

If that's the case then I'm prioritizing him over Norwell, who may just resign in Carolina anyway. Same goes for Ansah and Lawrence if they reach the market.

I doubt Ansah or Lawrence aren't tagged at least...if Quinn is out there then great but that is a pretty big leap...Norwell is very unlikely to resign due to the fact they are already paying Turner.
