I think they end up taking their lumps with Kingsley. Let him be ready for what's coming in Jan/feb.

Pretty sure we won a SB with him

Safest bet is to bring back Smith to give Kingsley more time to develop. If there is an injury then you see what you've got.

How many Olinemen do we usually keep on the 53?
[Reply]

9 or 10
[Reply]

T - Taylor, Kingsley, Morris
G - Thuney, Smith, Nourzad
C - Creed

Those are your locks.

Caliendo is probably back based on experience. You could include Niang as well. That's 9 right there.

If KC drafted a LT with a top 10 pick who was plug and play, I could see him starting day 1.

I'm not saying what KC should do, but I would be very surprised if Andy's plan A is having a 'project' rookie learn on the job at LT.

I would imagine he either thinks there is somebody else already on the roster that can be day 1 LT, or he plans on signing a vet.

Now sure, if King absolutely crushes the competition at camp, Andy may be very reluctantly forced to go against his instinct and start him day 1. But barring that pleasant surprise, I'm expecting he has a different idea.

Of course, in the NFL, plan A doesn't always happen. You can't force Smith to sign a team friendly one year deal for instance.

Wouldn’t David Bakhtiari be an improvement over Donovan smith? I know he’s injured but Donovan smith is often injured also. As long as Bakhtiari is ready the playoffs, we are fine. Let Kingsley or Wanya play in the regular season?
[Reply]

That same line of thinking is why we went into the season with Moore and Toney pencilled in as the starters.
[Reply]

And won a Super Bowl, BTW.
[Reply]

:-) And we had to effectively black ball those two to do it.

If you ok with inconsistent or bad, just save the money and play the young guys.
[Reply]

Or you just put Caliendo on the PS and carry one less guard...
[Reply]

What happened to Prince Tega Wanogho? The Nigerian Prince was more mysterious than Lucas Niang.
[Reply]

Just play the young guys and let Smith ride off into the sunset.

Atleast get thru OTA's and see what you got here.
[Reply]

Week one I don't think you throw Wanya or Kingsley out there unless you have to. Andy traditionally rolls with Veterans early.

Let's roll the dice on Donovan one more time. Seasoned vet who buys us a little time.
