I guess the fact that he is a MIZZOU boy has nothing to do with it lol. That being said having 2 guys from MIZZOU on the Chiefs' D would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said having 2 guys from MIZZOU on the Chiefs' D would be cool Call me a homer but this kid is Spags' kind of lineman. Tons of length, power rusher with some movement skills, inside-outside versatility with where you can line him up, plays the run very well and has some pass rush chops with good hands. He will be on our radar. Late first or 2nd round kid depending on testing. Might be considered a tweener by some but defenses that value length and versatility or 34 defenses will love him. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,207 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hey Xen, what do you think about Guyton, the OT from Oklahoma? Would he be a worthwhile pick at #32? You are probably closer to OU than most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be a DT and not much experience but he's a really good pass blocker. Better than you would think. Gets worked over some with dline games but that's coachable. He'll see a lot more of that in the NFL so he better learn quick how to pass guys off. Really wish he had played some LT in college but was all RT. That would concern me as a chiefs fan as I don't see them moving Taylor and I don't see this guy ready to switch early to LT. He needs to be coached up on how to play and moving him to LT at the same time would be a lot for him to handle. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Oh wise one...I have read several scouting reports about the LT at You Dub. Sounds like he has incredible feet and athleticism. Fautanu at 32 a realistic possibility? Too high? Too low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,597 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 May not get a LT in the first. Maybe a mid to late 2nd? There could be a run on them leaving good talent for us in the 2nd like the guy below as an example https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Patrick-Paul-OL-Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Chiefs don't find good OT value at #32, they could take a WR and trade up in the second to get the guy from Houston or BYU. Either should be an upgrade over Smith and four years on a rookie contract. Isn't Andy Heck considered a good teacher? It's hard to see more than seven OTs picked in the first round so the Chiefs should have a shot at a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how free agency goes on both sides of the ball...I think OT at 32 may be our best course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Chiefs have their sights on a certain OT, Veach might trade up to get him at around 25-29 like he did for McDuffie. As you said, getting a starter at OT or WR in FA could change the whole draft. Also, a lot depends on whether they can resign Sneed and/or Jones.

Yeah if both those guys go that certainly changes the equation. Getting some more good young offensive skill guys seems paramount to me as well.

I just cannot see them spending significantly at LT after locking themselves into Taylor for a few years w/ significant cap numbers. And how often do good LTs hit the market anyway. I can see them re-upping with Smith for another year. He's not great, but he's turned it up a notch in the playoffs. Either way we need a plan at LT that goes beyond him. And I really like Wanya's athletic profile but he was extremely overmatched at LT at times. Just flat bad. My head and gut says we resign Sneed , spend at WR in free agency, and draft along the lines. At this point it's hard to argue any plan they come up with is a bad one. * I am still intrigued by the idea they may try Juwaan at LT. *I also do not know exactly how a tag and trade scenario works if they franchise Jones. Can someone link me? Do teams have the ability to decide on whatever compensation they want even after placing a tag on a player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get 2 first round picks on a non exclusive tag which is what you would use for a tag and trade, but since no one in their right mind would do that anymore for a non QB you end up letting the player shop themselves and negotiating the compensation.

DTs of his caliber are non existent. But then the age thing. Course I think more likely outcomes are we let him go so we don't have to tie up that cap space or we resign him.
