Man!!!! I love Andy Reid. The @Chiefs and Andy Reid are offensive line savants. Kingsley Suamataia has big time potential. I think he he can be awesome guard or tackle. Just needs a little technique work. He is an aggressive killer who is great athlete.
Kingsley Suamataia is a versatile offensive tackle who split his 1,300 career snaps at BYU almost exactly down the middle between left and right tackle.
My favorite line from Dane Brugler's draft guide: "He delivers more pancakes than Denny's" ��
Traitsy OT w/ great size+athleticism+strengt. Easy range in the run game to pull or climb to landmarks or hit set points in slide. Patient hand usage to stay square and trust his lateral agility. Pad level & overall technique should develop in NFL. pic.twitter.com/p9zOJEuMkr

I get that he’s raw, but I can’t even fathom going into next season with him projected as anything more than a backup, and that really sucks. Thank God Morris has progressed, and him doing so gives me hope for Kingsley, but man, he was just so bad. Pat looked like a totally different player with him out there.
Bro.....it's so bad as soon as Wanya was back in the offense looked completely different!!!! And Wanya is literally the definition of mid.
Wanya had the bad game against the Raiders last year, but Kingsley literally has looked like he's only played for some semi pro failed football league at best.
Also, Veach drafted Skyy Moore when he could have drafted that absolute beast that the Steelers got.
Some of the shine is starting to wear off on some of these drafts. [Reply]

Sure, Veach goes on vacation every year after the trade deadline. He never keeps digging to add available veterans when they can make us better. [Reply]
Commanders have rookie 3rd rounder Brandon Coleman starting at left tackle and he’s doing really well. It’s clearly not impossible to find decent tackle ply outside the top 15. [Reply]

Because everyone projected his athleticism to be elite. He was atrocious. I almost never say this about a rookie because who knows...but man he doesn't look anywhere near to being an NFL player. I don't know if it's partly mental but I can't believe he was a R2 pick. [Reply]

My attitude to drafts is that it always takes at least a couple of years to evaluate how it went. That said, a draft like the McDuffie, Watson etc year was so insanely good it had multiple contributors throughout and in their rookie years. Compared to that, yeah, the last two haven't really hit, but that's a helluva high standard.
Have to say Worthy has been a disappointment in terms of direct impact, Kingsley...well, Wiley was anonymous before injury, Hicks looks promising, the rest have been blocked by better starters. But we'll know better next year.
Kingsley is the only guy who looks like ne needs a total rebuild to not be a bust [Reply]
