Wanya Morris was drafted with pick 92 of round 3 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 8.35 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 215 out of 1294 OT from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/KnzoH8NdfSpic.twitter.com/KZgxtMNcfb

It's why Taylor's ratings were so low in the beginning of the season and why ANDREW WYLIE was such a PFF standout for a while (despite Washington fans unanimously wanting to send him back to KC). [Reply]

Yeah, I ignore their takes, especially when it comes to Sneed. They grade him low, but his numbers against the elite #1 WRs in the NFL speak otherwise. He is an elite CB this year having an elite season. [Reply]

IMO the fact that Reid and Co are willing to start Morris in these spots, and aren't giving him constant chip help, speaks to what they think his ceiling is. I don't know where this myth came from that 3rd round project LTs can never have some bumps in the road. I'm very interested to see what his PFF grade is this week, and if any of the local pundits look at his tape.
Tackle is a position with a learning curve, even high 1st round picks can have bumps in the road and still develop. There are several examples, we took one of them #1 overall. [Reply]
Not sure how to feel here. This is the biggest question of the off-season to me. He played okay but got beat badly by elite rushers. But is he learning?
I think the Chiefs should make a strong push in FA for multiple WR's and if there's a quality LT available the Chiefs should trade up to get him [Reply]
The thing with Morris is that if he can somehow be turned into an average starting LT, finding that in the 3rd round is like winning the lottery. It would mean we can focus on WR and other needs, instead of taking an LT at the end of the first round – who by definition will have some issue like low ceiling, or be a project. And that first-rounder still could still easily be a full on bust. Even supposedly blue chip LTs bust all the time.
So we should all be rooting really hard for Morris to work out imo. The fact that the coaches feel comfortable with him out there says they think he has a chance at least. [Reply]
I think end of the first we have a far better chance of finding a WR that can contribute quickly, even in this offense, and certainly be an improvement on what we have. I think any LT there is more of a project. I DO think we should go for that type though, probably in the 2nd round. FA is wafer thin at OT this year, trading seems a waste of resources, we're just going to have to buy another lottery ticket - a good athlete, raw prospect type - while we remodel our weapons.
Hope Morris develops, I have some doubts, so let's get another guy who can compete there and see if we can get one up to speed. We may just need to give them a lot of help while we hope Taylor figures it out at RT. [Reply]
Give him a full offseason in the spot and go from there.
He played fine. Yeah, elite rushers gave him issues. No shit, welcome to 75% of the LT's in the league. We went after a "put him on an island and forget about it" LT and everyone freaked at the money it would cost. [Reply]
While the season has been frustrating, a lot of people miss the fact that this team has developed a legit #1 WR, and developing Morris is also a bonus. I hope he's OK, but I also wouldn't mind Smith being back for the play off run.
Just the fact that he has played will help the team evaluate the position better for the upcoming draft. Question, not that I want to see him moved inside, but is that even an option for a guy like him? [Reply]
You could kick him inside, but you wanna exhaust the opportunity at LT first, from a value standpoint.
People just need to understand that while he may not end up being a top 5 LT in the league, if he's serviceable, say top 15 LT, that's perfect from a cost standpoint. [Reply]
