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

One plus is not enough here — this is a potentially franchise-altering pick for the Chiefs here at the bottom of the second round. Suamataia is a bit raw, but he has legitimate franchise left tackle athleticism and movement ability. Throw him out there and let him grow into an elite tackle.

Good question. The commentary portion appears to be from Yahoo's Charles McDonald, after a quick search.

That’s the culture. It’s kinda like the Hawaii thing of “live Aloha play Warrior”. These Polynesian dudes are generally super kind and gentle off the field and will fucking eat your soul on it. [Reply]
Just a home run draft. I can’t believe Kingsley was still on the board at 63, I was positive that we’d have to trade up to get him. And the morons who were bashing the Worthy pick will live forever in infamy in that thread, their idiocy etched into the annals of internet history for all to clown, mock, and laugh at for the next century.
Great job by the Veach. I thought we’d have to burn a 3rd next year or 4th this year to move up to have a chance at Suamataia. And I would have had no problem with us doing so. [Reply]
