It really sounds like Remmers has taken on the leadership/Vet role on the Oline. It's going to be hard to unseat him.
My money is Niang will be the swing tackle this year and will only start in the event of injury.
Yea, if I were to guess, I’d say he doesn’t get the job this year barring injury or bad play. [Reply]

Smith, a Tennessee offensive lineman from 2017-2020, was drafted with the No. 226 pick in the sixth round by the Chiefs. However, just one day into training camp, the former All-SEC First Team player has already made his way into the starting practice rotation.
“As full camp Day 1 wraps up: Trey Smith is starting, Willie Gay impressed, Chris Jones moved between DE and DT,” said Harold R. Kuntz, a reporter for Fox 4, in a tweet on Wednesday.
With Kansas City’s fall camp now in swing, Smith has had the opportunity to compete on the field again, doing what he does best. Not to mention, his play on the field has especially caught the attention of Kansas City head coach Andy Reid.
“He’s done a nice job. He showed enough to legitimately be in that position right now,” said Reid, according to Adam Teicher on Twitter. “He’s got to compete. We’ll see how all of that goes when we get the pads on.”
Smith worked out with the Chiefs starting offensive line without pads and was slotted in at the right guard position. Andy Reid also mentioned that Smith’s “consistency” during offseason programming led him to this spot.
On the first snap of Chiefs training camp, Smith was joined by Orlando Brown, Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey, and Mike Renners on the line.
Thuney praised the entire line’s efforts after the opening day of training camp. However, he did also specifically mention Smith, as well.
“[Trey Smith is] really strong, he’s physical, he’s smart, he studies his playbook really hard,” said Thuney, according to USA Today Sports. “Everyone is communicating up there on the O-Line, but he’s doing a great job, and yeah, it’s just great to be part of this group.”

Meh, if Reid and Heck like Remmers better at this point... no worries
He's the steady eddie vet, meanwhile Niang has a solid layer of rust to knock off... Niang is the future no question, but this may well be Remmers year at RT [Reply]
The takeaway from the fact that Smith is starting and Niang isn't shouldn't be that there's something wrong with Niang, it should be that Smith is awesome. [Reply]
