He could prob be a stud right tackle if he would accept it
although defenses would still come at him in the passing game

Even at RT, this teams need pass blocking. OBJ won’t accept a move and I’m not sure we’d want him to unless he’s going to take massive lowering of his salary.

If he weren’t asking to be the highest paid player at his position I’d probably be a bit more patient but I just can’t. The guy wants to be #1. So play like it or GTFO.

One good thing is the Chiefs have money next Spring. They also have 12 draft picks.

It’s a tough situation but they do have the resources to attack the position.

Yeah - we're not a 'put a road grader in at RT' team.

Conventionally that's the offense's strong side and where your TE is going to line up. And conventionally your TE lines up in-line and can aid in that pass blocking assignment.

But ain't ANY of that the case for us. We don't line up our TE inline terribly often. And we don't even use a strong-side run bias so there's no benefit to us having a more powerful straight line blocker in there.

We just aren't a team that can alter how it treats LT and RT that much. We need bookends who can pass block - period.

What's wrong with this guy? :-) Referring to Geron Christian

So we have the play on the field issue and the value issue.

I know this: Hill is closer to the no 1 WR in the NFL than Brown Jr. is to the best LT. Hill didn't get the money here and BJ won't either.

To be fair IMO we need an in line TE behind Kelcee. I think Reid would like to employ that and the talent just isn't there at the moment. It would open up a whole lot with a legit TE to pair with Kelcee as he nears the end. Hell, the Pats showed what two weapons at TE can do to NFL defenses. I'd love to see us steal that. I'd also love to see us able to run the football better and not have to sacrifice having a legit pass catcher at the position.

I'd love to see us lock up the book ends this year but according to the talking heads this isn't the best draft at tackle...
[Reply]

There's a couple of premier pass blockers coming out this year. I don't know how deep the class will end up being but it doesn't look that bad.
[Reply]

Slater is one of the best I'd seen coming out in a while and he went #13 overall.
[Reply]

Because teams get weird about certain things. In Slater’s case, I believe it was arm length.
[Reply]

Don’t recall how Christian Darrisaw was regarded before the draft? Would have been in easy trade up range and he’s apparently looking pretty good so far for Minnesota.
[Reply]

With proper scouting you can get a good LT in the draft. Chiefs should have the ammo to move up to get one they like.

Is it possible that Brown already knows KC won't pay him what he wants so he is just trying to make it through the season and doesn't give a shit?
[Reply]

We signed the guy for peanuts to be a backup, and even then, we made him "compete" for that job with Roderick Johnson in training camp.

I get it... we're all sour on OBJ right now. So am I. Nobody watched the Texans last year, and there wasn't enough in preseason for any of us to make an accurate read on this guy. I'm just saying... it's pretty rare that great LTs can just hide like that in plain sight. You can do that shit with RBs, Gs, CBs... hell, even WRs sometimes slip through the cracks and play on shitty free agent contracts before breaking out. The LT position is really hard to pull a fast one like that.
