Kansas City is trading its first-round pick Thursday night, along with three other picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown and one pick in the 2021 draft and another in 2022, per sources.
There was a shot during the game showing Smith, Humphrey and Brown all standing together at the end of a play, and they just dwarfed everyone around them.
We have an absolute unit of an offensive line. [Reply]
-Niang didn't make any glaring mistakes but I don't believe the way is shut for Remmers. That battle continues. Hopefully Remmers will be healthy soon.
-Creed and Smith are virtual locks for week one in my book. They looked really good, especially Smith. He'll have a bid at All-Pro if he keeps this up.
-Brown had a bit of a problem with that speed rush. But he let his guy run past the QB. Not bad.

Thuney is a savvy technician. Brown,Humphrey and Smith are big,strong athletes who have huge potential. The fact that they are already starting means so much. Smith and Humphrey can both handle DT's by themselves. That frees up Thuney to go to the second level and take out a linebacker. [Reply]
I fully expect to see defenses send a stunt where the DE speeds outside and a delay blitz comes through the inside. We’ll need a RB capable of picking that up, or, even better, Patrick throws a screen to that side. [Reply]

-Thuney, Mr. Reliable. Love it.
Niang is the RT on the unofficial depth chart, has taken 98% of the first team reps at camp and is gelling with Pat and the rest of the line...plus has now performed very well in the first preseason game whilst showing vast improvement day by day.
Meanwhile Remmers, who was ahead of Lucas purely because of experience and not physical gifts or skills, has been out of camp with a back issue (he also got injured last season aswell) and missed this game yesterday.
If it was Mitch waiting to come back I'd agree...but Remmers? He was decent last year but let's not go overboard. Unless Niang goes backwards between now and the Browns game I'd be surprised to see him lose his spot tbh. [Reply]

If Remmers is out much longer, Veach needs to consider looking for a reserve tackle. Hard to trust a tackle with a back issue. [Reply]

No one cares about what you think. I mean that with all kindness and sincerity. [Reply]

The medical staff has said they don't believe his back is much to worry about just being cautious. AS forthcoming as our medical staff is we may not see him for a while.
I personally would get as many looks in on Niang as possible during the preseason. What I have noticed that's unusual to me is Niang has a tendency to bunnyhop in pass protection. I don't know if its good or bad just looks strange. [Reply]

No shit. The best ability is availability. [Reply]
