Veach will find linemen like he always has and also LDT / Niang could conceivably come back.
There won't be any good left tackles left at 32 but there will certainly be good interior linemen and if Alijah Vera-Tucker falls to the late 20s it would be worth it to move up for him.
Or just let Wyatt Davis fall to you. I'd much rather have one of the top IOL than reach for the 6th best LT [Reply]

We don’t know Niang’s situation. We do know Williams opted out because of his mother’s cancer, but that’s because he volunteered it.
Maybe Niang had a family situation. Maybe he was going to be rehabbing so long he decided he’s just going to focus on rehab and lace them up next year. Maybe he has a health condition that puts him at high risk.
We don’t know.
And marching in one protest where every photo/video of him shows him masked up and maintaining distance doesn’t mean his reasoning was off or selfish or that he doesn’t love football.
This is Niang training on his own in late November.
If he was practicing with the Chiefs, the trainer/coach he is working with would be masked up.

Ok well i've just been doing some research and it looks like Remmers played a lot of games at left tackle for the Panthers and Vikings. Infact he played almost a full season for the panthers at left tackle. Meanwhile Wylie was actually a tackle in college and obviously got the call to play right tackle against the Saints aswell as sliding over there against the bills. So the great thing is he's already had a full week of practice reps ahead of the Saints game and played a better d-line too. And then he got some reps the other day against the Bills aswell. Now he's gonna have two weeks to prepare knowing he'll be the right tackle instead of just three days of practice.
So the line is likely to be the line the finished the game.
That's the most experienced line we could put out there and three of them have played in a superbowl (Remmers for the Panthers). It's basically the d-line against the Saints with Remmers instead of Fish. The Saints got three sacks and hit Pat a few times but we still ran for 170 and put up 30 points. Also four of this line played against Tampa already (they got two sacks)..Wiz is the only one who didn't. All in all hopefully with the experience and reps these guys have, coupled with two weeks to get ready, our line will play to the best of their abilities.
Edit: And i just read a tweet from Chiefs reporter Matt Derrick saying that Wylie took right tackle reps in the offseason, pre-season and during practices plus played a few snaps there last season aswell. So he's been preparing for this moment both on the practice field and in the games. [Reply]

Great stuff. FWIW just checked on Mike Remmers at LT for Carolina in 2016. He got a solid/good grade via PFF (71.2) starting all 16 games. Browsing through his grades he seems to grade considerably higher at T than when he's at G. [Reply]

Literally the best post you’ve had on this board. [Reply]
Patrick Mahomes will be in some serious trouble with Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaquil Barrett chasing him down. The offensive line will be the biggest weakness of the Chiefs come Superbowl Sunday. Tampa Bay will take advantage of this weakness, exploit it, and come out on top as Superbowl Champs. [Reply]
