I went ahead and added the starting left tackle for every Super Bowl in case you're feeling nostalgic. I didn't include Jim Tyrer because of, well, you know why. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
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]
