Y'all want to ride with Smith for another year or give Morris a chance? Because there's probably several good to decent prospects who likely will be there when the Chiefs pick. [Reply]
I'd say here's at least a good list to start from bubb... I can leave you to then make your determinations.
LT Prospects
1. Joe Alt, Notre Dame
2. Olu Fashanu, Penn State
3. Kingsley Suamataia, BYU
4. Javon Foster, Missouri
5. Kiran Amegadjie, Yale
6. Patrick Paul, Houston
7. Brandon Coleman, TCU
8. Zion Nelson, Miami
9. Julian Pearl, Illinois
10. Nathan Thomas, Louisiana
RT Prospects
1. JC Latham, Alabama
2. Taliese Fuaga, Oregon State
3. Amarius Mims, Georgia (LT conversion chatter)
4. Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma (LT conversion chatter)
5. Blake Fisher, Notre Dame
6. Christian Jones, Texas
7. Roger Rosengarten, Washington
8. Matt Gonclaves, Pitt
9. Andrew Coker, TCU
10. Garret Greenfield, South Dakota State
OTs that will more than likely be OG/OCs
1. Troy Fautanu, Washington
2. Jordan Morgan, Arizona
3. Graham Barton, Duke
4. Sataoa Laumea, Utah
5. Dominick Puni, Kansas
6. Delmar Glaze, Maryland
7. LaDarius Henderson, Michigan
8. Gottlieb Ayedze, Maryland [Reply]
Niang on the other hand has to be replaced. They don't seem to like him at (backup) guard and he does not appear to be athletic enough for NFL tackle. Or he is just way too heavy.
Donovan Smith is gone (he would not resign for this years contract) as it was a prove it deal coming off injury. I would bet they would draft a developmental tackle in rd 2 or 3, Niang can play RT (doesn't paly inside), Wanya Morris can play LT (he'll have an entire year in the off season program) and they they look for a street FA for depth.
Cap is going to be tight especially if they get CJ and LS back
Gonclaves and Greenfield seem to fit the general arm length although Greenfield is 24 (so he will likely fall in the draft) [Reply]
Here's an update. If you think I'm off or not looking at someone, put it out there. I forget more than I remember anymore.

I'd swap Suamataia and Guyton. And I think Guyton and Mims are both viewed as LT because of their athletic ability by NFL teams. Other than that, looks pretty good.
I'm hopeful that one of Fautanu or Suamataia will fall to the end of the 1st round. Everyone can't go in the first, after all... [Reply]
It's also possible that as previously thought, Taylor could play LT. Morris played both sides in college. If they take another in the early rounds, they might just roll and sort it out in camp. [Reply]
Amarius Mims is intriguing to me. He appears to be a freak athlete for his size. His talent and size are generational. He’s only started 8 games though. I think I’d roll the dice and trade up to around 25 if he fell that far though. He’s gotta be better Orlando brown. Would you trade up for Mims?
Mims coming in at 6-foot-7 3/4 and 340 pounds. Mims showcased his unique athleticism. Mims clocked an impressive unofficial time of 5.07 during the 40-yard dash. His freakish build was on display with 11 1/4″ hands, 36 and 1/8″ arms and an 86 and 3/4″ wingspan. He posted a 25 1/2″ vertical jump and a 9’3″ broad jump. Mims is built solid. [Reply]
