Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate - Page 38

I think it's entirely likely that at least 4 of the 5 guys that played this Super Bowl will not be starting in week 1.

I think we can assume LDT is probably starting, for example.
I think we can assume based on free agency projections Reiter won't be back.
I think it would be a mistake for Wylie to be in our starting 5.
It's possible they bring back Remmers to start at RT but that wasn't even the plan in 2020; I doubt that he's penciled in to start there in '21. He sure as hell isn't the plan at LT.

The only guy that MIGHT be penciled in is Alegretti. As a starter I mean.

I honestly don't know what to think about center. It seems inconceivable that Reiter gets paid enough that they don't want him back. Hudson was great and Morse was pretty good - you could see why they got the checks and why the Chiefs didn't want to foot that bill.

But if Reiter gets a fat contract and the Chiefs let him walk? In his case, it almost seems like exactly what they SHOULD do.

The problem then is that they almost HAVE to draft a center because signing somebody cheaper than Reiter means a downgrade from a guy that already wasn't great to begin with.

Rankin and Niang.

They didn't play Rankin all year, then played him wih the backups, then nothing.

I'd say we have a good idea how they value him.

I'm really interested in how the Justin Britt visit went. If he's healthy and good to go, that would seem to be a really good and cheap option for an upgrade.

I don't care what PFF says, Reiter is below average.

You're gonna either have to have a rookie mid rounder somehere or a cheap FA. Thats why I'd sign Osemele.

I'd draft one too. And let Wylie compete.

Best man wins.

You've almost got to pencil in Niang as a starter though, right?

No, I’m not ignoring anything. I just don’t see how that changes what I’m saying.

5 new starters is 5 new starters. Even if 2 are LDT and Niang, it’s still unlikely that they have 5 new starters.

Osemele, Remmers, Wylie, Allegretti etc. at least one of these guys will be starting probably 2.

Fisher
Allegretti
Reiter/early draft pick/FA signing
LDT
Niang

*Osemele, Remmers and a developing draft pick as depth

I think this will be our OL heading into the playoffs next year

Who the fuck is starting for Fisher until he comes back?
[Reply]

I don't think we need to "plan for the playoffs" in terms of the OL. Don't get Mahomes killed in week 4.

I would so fucking mad if they extended Reiter for anything more than a couple million AAV. I’m not sure I want him back at all.

I’d like to put a lynchpin at center. A top 100 pick or sign someone with serious talent.
[Reply]

Yea let Reiter walk and get a comp pick.

Draft Humphrey, Dickerson, Myers, or Meinerz.

That's the million dollar question.

I believe in the current NFL you need at least 3 really good OL.

Then you can cover up 1 mediocre and 1 below average guy.

I honestly don't think Reiter is all that bad. He's certainly no pro bowler but I think he's a legit starting center in this league. He was about the one guy that didn't get totally embarrassed in the Super Bowl on the line.

Now I wouldn't pay him what the open market probably would. But I would welcome him back on the cheap.
