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]
All 3 of our Tackles have rated favorably on PFF for Pass Protection, but the penalties, and that Raiders game that was a complete meltdown don't pass the eye test IMO.
I’d like to see jones tagged and traded for a top 15 pick. If we can get into that 10-15 range we could take the Oregon state kid Tailese Fuanga. Move him to LT. He has the size length and athletic ability. He is great in space too. [Reply]

No one is going to give up a top 15 pick for Jones. [Reply]
If Smith can be signed for another year at the same price? Sure. Play him and Morris like they did this year, with Morris getting more PT as the year progresses.
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. [Reply]

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]
I'm intrigued by Suamataia in the 2nd but not the first. He needs a bit too much development for me.
I also feel like we had the debate last year that Andy Reid does not, in fact, take much less "love" BYU players. He's had like 2 in his entire coaching tenure and I do believe only 1 was drafted. [Reply]

He measured in at 6’4” with sub 34” arms at the Sr. bowl today, though. [Reply]
Name all the players from BYU Andy has had on this team in his time here.
Goddamn the "Andy Loves X" stuff is just always wrong. Dude doesn't love drafting fatties (though the draft pundits have been saying he does for over a decade now). He doesn't love players from BYU.
In his ENTIRE career he's drafted one player from BYU - a guard in the 5th round for the Eagles. He loved that guy so much he cut him before the end of his rookie contract. Chad Lewis was already an Eagle before Andy got there.
How much work are you really going to let Daniel Sorensen do here? Or is it the 1 game Matt Bushman played here? Or the 7 games Zayne Anderson played.
Andy has never demonstrated any particular affinity for players from BYU - it's just lazy sportswriter tripe that's somehow been spoken into fact. [Reply]
I’d be happy to keep Donovan, and upgrade from Niang. Give yourself four guys capable of playing and just play the depth game. Hope they’re healthy for playoffs. [Reply]
