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
We are missing so much info that it makes it hard to know where they go in 2025.
Obviously best case is they still think quality starter is in Kingsley's future. I would pay Trey. Keep the interior rock solid for Pat.
If you bring back the likes of Hopkins and Hollywood to go with Rice and Worthy, I think the WR corp will be strong enough to help the LT situation not look as dire as it has at times the past two years.
But if they believe they have to go out and get a LT, I understand, just would mean Kingsley is an absolute lost cause which feels very premature. [Reply]

Let that go.
I'm not big on letting WRs go who have the chemistry with Mahomes down.
By all accounts, he was one who did. Much like JuJu and Hopkins now have. You need the speed insurance too. Why not? It's gonna be an incentive laden deal. It would be nice if we don't have to force WR in the top 64 again. Just take it if it comes. [Reply]

I wouldn’t unless he was a true blue chip LT. I get having a franchise LT, but KC also has to be careful with how many picks they surrender. To keep this team competitive long term they will have to continue to stock this roster with young, cheap drafted talent. The more picks they have, the more chances they will snag that talent. [Reply]
I would bring Hopkins, Hollywood, JuJu, Mecole, and Watson back. Leave no doubt. They are all one-year deal guys. And if you get a BPA opportunity in the draft, so be it. [Reply]
Kingsley will be fine, Chiefs have the lowest percentage in the league of players drafted that never play @ 1.6%. As a reference the Vikes are at like 13.6%.
Let the kid develop some. My question is… Why can’t he play OG? …Couldn’t he move over to either OG spot if we lose one in the next couple seasons? [Reply]

I would so no to guard because his game is more athleticism than power.
Wanya might be able to make that switch, but I'm not sure on that either. [Reply]

I'd have chemistry with him in shorts in April.
He didn't play a snap and missed the whole season. If he wants to come back for like 3 million dollars, ok. Otherwise.....keep DHop and go to the draft. [Reply]

Hopkins
Rice
Hollywood
Worthy
^That’s a really good WR Core.

Well we basically lit 7 million dollars on fire for him this year. Hopefully he can do something in December and the playoffs, but thus far, not a great investment. [Reply]

No shit. This infatuation with Brown is weird. He's done fuck all because he got injured on the first snap of preseason. Unfortunate, but it is what it is. Putting stock into team PR nonsense is silly to me, especially given what happened in 2023 with Moore and Toney. Heard the same shit about those two and they ended up being unmitigated disasters. [Reply]
Now, do I think Brown will come close to being that bad? No, but I also wouldn't put any stock into what the team says in camp and preseason. They've tried to shine a lot of turds that ended up smelling like shit. [Reply]
