He seems to have a line that he’s willing to go up to and not cross. I’m glad he’s doing that.
I mean, we're on the verge of a dynasty and we haven't improved this offseason (so far).

You actually think this team has improved over last year?
Right now this team is worse than last year. We lost our 2 best olinemen at the 2 most important line positions.
We gave 70 million to a left guard and now people are saying we don't have money to get free agents.
Thuney/Long are not worth as much as Fisher/Schwartz. Apparently we are starting Niang and Remmers at tackle.
Before you start talking about injuries, that doesn't matter. We are talking about facts, not blame. It's not the Chiefs' fault that Fisher and Schwartz got hurt, but it happened.
The total addition/subtraction since last year so far for us isn't good.
Maybe we sign tons of talent later, but right now we are worse. [Reply]

If the cap is going to be higher next year and more stars will be willing to commit to long term deals, it probably makes sense to just roll the cap space so we can be bigger players in a more meaningful free agency year.
I’d rather wait a year and sign Allen Robinson to a multi-year deal than to pay big money to TY Hilton or Juju for 1 year. [Reply]

That pretty much describes him.
PFF has this guy as their 11th ranked OT, 54 overall. They describe him as "clean of an OT as it gets." So 31 seems high. I'd take a chance on Walker Little before him. [Reply]

PFF is awful, but they’re especially useless when it comes to the draft. [Reply]

Yeah, Villanueva, Okung, and Jason Peters to name a few. Reiter has an offer on the table from KC. He could be back. Then of course there is a chance Schwartz and/or Fisher could be back as well. So there's still a lot to play out on the OL front. I'd say Villanueva is the biggest fish left. [Reply]
