Chiefs Have Decisions To Make On The Offensive Line
by Joel Thorman on Mar 2, 2010 6:05 PM CST
in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Draft
Email
PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs currently have five offensive linemen under contract for the 2010 season. Free agency starts Thursday at 11:00 PM (CST) but don't worry. Many of the remaining Chiefs without contract are restricted free agents meaning the Chiefs can control their rights (and match any offer those linemen receive).
Under contract in 2010 for the Chiefs (5): Colin Brown, Darryl Harris, Brian Waters, Branden Albert and Jermail Porter.
Two of those guys (Harris and Porter) spent much of the year on the practice squad.
RFAs (4): Ikechuku Ndukwe, Rudy Niswanger, Ryan O'Callaghan, Barry Richardson.
Richardson is an exclusive rights free agent which means he has no negotiating power. He can take the Chiefs offer or not play. That's assuming they'll offer him.
The lone unrestricted free agent is actually an important one -- Wade Smith.
Smith, who will turn 29 at the end of April, has been with the Chiefs since 2008.
Suffice to say, the Chiefs are in prime position to address the position in the NFL Draft. Plus, there will be some, what Scott Pioli calls "natural attrition" with the roster. Take a look at the tackles and guards/centers were on the roster when the season started.
There was some turnover and I expect the same this season. 2009 was the year of the defensive lineman, we'll see if 2010 brings the out the other side of the ball.

Here's hoping we keep Ndukwe
Doesn’t look likely with Alleman’s release though being as that he received more playing time last season than Ike.

I can't imagine Pioli cutting both to keep from paying his father-in-law a pick
We did play both last year so the deal should still be on IMO
"For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius." Scott "Young Frankenstein" Pioli
He probably...
doesn’t care. He isn’t going to be president of the Dolphins for much longer anyway. Its a 6th round pick (I hope that it).
Draft prediction top 10 - 1. Bradford 2. Suh (Chiefs trade up) 3. McCoy 4. Claussen (trade Campbell to Carolina, trade for J Brown) 5. Okung (Detroit) 6. Berry 7. Haden 8. Campbell 9. Davis (Bills trade for Vick) 10. Morgan (Jags draft Tebow in 2nd round) 2/23/09
didnt realize smith was ufa
Not a bad backup. Would love a new center and rg in the draft. Maybe a late g/t project
Hopefully Colin brown can fill the rg spot in the future and we will draft our future lg
1. Are they an upgrade over what we already have?
2. Do they have high football IQ?
3. Can they make a difference from Day 1?
4. Do they have a history of leadership?
5. Sign him up.

they should tender all the RFAs
no reason not to
IF they get a better player in FA or the draft, they can still cut the incumbent
but, by NOT tendering these guys, and letting them walk… KC really paints themselves into a corner
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
The line already looks a lot thinner
with the subtraction of Alleman and potentially Smith

Agreed
No reason not to bring them all back for now. If you upgrade later, great, cut them and move on. If no, you’ve got guys that are familiar with the system.
I am hoping we can keep Wade Smith
I don’t know his salary but it is less than a Million and he would be good depth
"For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius." Scott "Young Frankenstein" Pioli
Definitely
He could fill in pretty much anywhere on the line if necessary, that’s a nice thing to have.
he did his part at center and right gaurd
he had some issues during his brief time at left tackle.
i like Wade also.
Bewsaf
I'm SURE they will keep him
Haley was very happy with him last year, I think.
Clearly thought of him as the best OL “off the bench”… filled in at every position.
Wade comes back, O’Call comes back for sure, Rudy’s probably back, and Ndukwe and Richardson are the question marks…
I thought Ndukwe and Alleman would both be back… and alleman could very well be… they might just not have wanted to pay his full tender amount

i saw alleman as the odd man out
his blocking style is a little different than what the chiefs were doing at the end of the year.
i think Wade is better. Rudy is better. Both those guys can play guard or center.
i want to say Brown will step in and be better than Alleman…but i have not seen enough of him to know that for sure.
Bewsaf
"Rudy is better"
is one hell of an indictment.

by KCSatchmo on Mar 2, 2010 6:54 PM CST up reply actions
i know Rudy has a bad rap
and i think some better competition at center will help this team. But Rudy responded well at the end of the season to the coaching he was getting.
Bewsaf
You know I respect your opinion
but are you sure you aren’t just seeing the improvement and not the big picture? What I mean is you spend hours and hours watching the Chiefs OL..you see guys improving from teh start of the season..which is good…but how do they stack up aginst good players?
Rudy is bad…real bad…barely backup quality.
This is my signature line. It is full of awesome and win.
by KCSatchmo on Mar 2, 2010 7:12 PM CST up reply actions
Strait up
he needs to move to guard. i think he can be back-up quality. And he does not stack up against the good players (meaning starters).
i liked his progress and his demonstration that he is athletic enough to be a zone blocker. he showed he could reach a defender and also get to the next level (needs to finish however)…something at the beginning of the year i could not say.
So, can he continue to progress with the coaching he has gotten or did he top out. i don’t know.
i am not saying all this to suggest that the Chiefs should not try to upgrade. just pointing out that his progress might suggest that he might now have a value as a backup.
i still say he is better than Alleman by the end of the year.
Bewsaf
Pioli/Haley thought so too

Alleman could still be back.
An RFA tag is at least 1.01 Million
According to this site:
http://football.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&zTi=1&sdn=football&cdn=sports&tm=10&gps=86_263_1020_632&f=00&tt=14&bt=0&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.chiefswarpath.com/home.htm
Alleman was only being paid $460k last year.
So the descision not to tag him and let him shop around to set his value may still lead him to resigning with the Chiefs.

Well they played poorly yet Sucktitude is probably not where they ended the year.
After looking at the Yards rushing given up I would say that the Defense is pure SUCK.

And the defense is where I would put the priority again this off-season.
Berry or Haden in 1st
Cody in second
Spikes in second
Center
then a SS or O-Tackle
Whatever is missed in 5th or whatever is best. Maybe 2 WR’s and a TE

Sry bro
but this happens constantly around here. We try to have an intelligent discussion about a player but then it quickly devolves into some guy posting:
“I’d take him in the 1st.
2a: Dude who gives me wood.
2b: Dude who gives me wood but everyone knows won’t be available.
3rd: Dude who gives me wood that shouldn’t be drafted until the 5th.
4th: Dude who gives me wood because I saw him play one game.
5a: Dude who gives me wood because he ran a fast 40.
5b: Dude who gives me wood because some comentator likes him.
5c: Dude who gives me wood because nobody else is talking about him and mentioning him makes me look smart.”
It’s crazy. The conversation switches to some silly ass mock and the good conversation about the player is abandoned.
It makes me not want to come here anymore.

Wouldn't want them to try and turn the whole thing over
We do need 2 new starters tho. When 40% of your OL is suck. 40% is average and 20% is old. You need to get to work fixing it.

we have some youth whether it works out or not is another thing
but draft picks will be even younger youth
"For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius." Scott "Young Frankenstein" Pioli
Pioli will trade at least one draft pick away for a
player or players that are proven in the league.
He might but I don't know that he needs too
I think the WR’s out there now are free to highest bidder.
Same with RB’s and TE’s
Chambers is one of ours and I don’t know that I would make him one of the top-5 salaries on the Chiefs to retain him. Smae with DJ who would move up the list as a Backup ILB to keep him.
"For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius." Scott "Young Frankenstein" Pioli
Oh he needs to
we need 5 exp starters or 1st-3rd rounders that are ready to play now without time to upgrade.
As I see it now we have 3
So one good one through the draft and one mature pick up in FA plus we need to bring in 5+ more for camp to create competition and potentially vie for a backup position

Completely disagree
You never start looking for your _ of the future. I get told all the time around here that we need imediate impact from this draft. Why? Hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but we ain’t winning the SB next year. IF the best players we can get take a little time to develop..so be it.

No we aren't

in 2010 in order to build up our core. Just, the draft is deep this year, and it’s prime time for the new coordinators to set the tone for the next decade.

I don't think we have tosuck

I think we all agree that we need to get those guys to coach up now. I don’t want to trade this years picks or next years picks. Just make em good solid picks and prep em for 2010 and if not 2011.
Richardson and Brown, Morgan, Washington, Cottam and many others fit in this group now.

The "Dude Who Gives Me Wood" is Al Davis' Draft Strategy
and it honestly does seem ingenious when you first think about it. Anytime Al Davis gets a wood, it is nothing short of a miracle. It baffles me how that strategy has produced such poor results.

A center and a tackle
would be all I want on the Offense this year.
I tire of WR’s and TE’s and RB’s those are all spots that can be filled in FA and castoffs apparently. We did last year and next years draft will have some good skill guys to finish off the rebuild

O-line offers the best free agency option imo
Specifically Gaurd with Stephen Neal. We draft one O-lineman by the 3rd to go day one. We draft a NT by the 3rd and we focus the rest of the draft on playmakers both offense and defense. We need playmakers more than I know how to stress in writing.

Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.
I have question about trade talks
Are teams allowed to be in trade talks right now or do they have to wait til Fri? I know you cant sign a FA or trade a player til 12 am Fri but can teams be talking trades now or do they have to wait til Fri to even start talking?
Why wouldn't GM's be able to talk trade.
The trades couldn’t consumate till the opening of Free Agency.
As long as they are talking about their own players I would think it is no problem.

then you could only talk about trading your own players away for draft picks. And the teams you talk to, couldn’t talk back.

O-Line
Last I checked Jamaal Charles dominated towards the end of the season. Not sure if it was him, or the O-Line, but I am beginning to think maybe we should worry a little less about the O-Line right now. (I agree our line CAN be upgraded from where it is now.) In this order in the draft let’s get a Safety, WR, NT, and so on.
OL was MUCH improved in the 2nd half
Partially due to Charles, partially due to them finally getting used to the ZB scheme, I think.
There is still room for improvement, of course… but it’s clearly NOT time to panic and junk the whole group and rebuild.
add a couple of good pieces, keep building each year
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB

The O-Line still needs much improvement
I have a feeling that Waters will be the starting Center. I also think that Rudy is a much better Guard than Center, so I believe we will keep him.
Between O’Cal and Albert I feel comfortable with the tackles. Putting Waters at Center, Wade or Rudy at Guard, and bringing in a strong L Guard will make the line better. I really don’t know the readiness level of Richardson, but I hope that he has improved to the level of playing. Otherwise, I can’t see keeping him.

Haden, Berry, McClain and Bulaga would all be in play in that scenario.

I see where you are coming from
they have been spoke of in similar fashion. I just believe the need for that position is greater in this situation than it was our year. The injury/knee issues also had an effect on dorsey that that is absent when speaking of Suh. Now this year you have McCoy on that same tier, but I think the two of them have separated themselves sufficiently from the rest of the 4-3 DT’s. As much as the lions need a LT as well, at the end of the season they pointed to their current LT as a position that is good for now (so i’ve heard from die hard lions fans. That’s right, both of them.) We’ll see.
by jakethesnake27 on Mar 2, 2010 8:41 PM CST up reply actions
Suh has had some minor knee work done.
I think a year from now, we’ll all be saying "oh, well, Bradford was the franchise pick, and look how much Okung helped, and McCoy fit their scheme SO much better, and you just KNEW Shanahan had to go offense, and isn’t Suh’s progress a little slow, and and and aren’t Marvin Austin and Jared Crick the best linemen the world has ever SEEEN?!!!
The path to Victory is made of losers.
my thing is many think bradford, suh, and McCoy will go 1,2,3
I personally don’t think that happens because how often do you see the top three players go in the top 3 spots?? not often cause that isn’t always top need.

by TheAngelsColts on Mar 2, 2010 8:26 PM CST up reply actions
Bradford-Suh-McCoy could happen
I just think that Detroit will lean more towards Okung as the fear of not getting a LT…again…begins to weigh on them. They can’t let Stafford get killed again this year. No matter how much they like Suh. Then TB is sitting there picking between the guy they had resigned themselves to get (McCoy) and fell in love with or the guy they didn’t think would be there (Suh). Not gunna be surprised if they stick to their guns and go McCoy.

I think the wildcard with that will be Shanahan
He had more mobile offensive lines in Denver, so they would be good at taking cheap shots, so he might wait for a mobile tackle later on rather than take the best all-around tackle.

McCoy doesn't fit a 3-4
If he did, he’d be an end, and we’ve got those.

* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
I don't think Rudy
will be starting anywhere. I think he’ll be a backup if we get an upgrade at center. If he got pushed around at center, why would he be stronger at guard?
I don’t know about Brown’s role. I’d like to think he has one, but I think it’s probable he just got moved to guard on the roster because O’Cal surprised at tackle. Brown was a spread tackle at Mizzou, and I don’t know how that translates to a guard that has to pull. O’Cal’s backup, I think.
Right now, I’m thinking that Alleman might have been released because KC plans on acquiring multiple new starters, and they want room to keep Rudy and Brown. Or maybe Haley just doesn’t like him, and I need to think about something besides football for a few minutes.

I could be wrong
but I think Brown was working at guard before O’Callaghan was added to the roster. Maybe someone remembers better than me.
bh13 is correct
Brown was working at RG in camp, and looked decent
O’Call came later, and took RT from Ndukwe

Oh right, I remember that. This senility thing's kind of fun sometimes, makes everything seem new.
They thought we had two or three viable right tackles to start the season, and it turned out we had none, right? I wonder how things would have went if they’d recognized that at the start of camp, and had Brown working at tackle instead of guard. We might not have picked up O’Callaghan, or Ndukwe.

wanted to say thanks to those that helped me with your pick and here it all is if you want to take a look at the full thing

wow ... and Berry falls like a rock to SF at 13 ... if that happened realtime and we took Bulaga at #5 ...
… I think a lot of people here would call for a psychiatric examination of Pioli’s mind

hi, Mo!
5 minutes!!!
Dammit
I wanted Pouncey to fall to the second :)
Pretty good picks, I think. It’s good to see some different stuff. With KC having the fifth pick, most of the draft talk here is just about the same three or four names over and over again.

fwiw (not much) I really don't think Pioli is taking a LT

49ers really cleaned up in that draft

re
I think you offer Smith, Richardson and Niswanger – backup guard-tackle-center trio, otherwise your trading a low draft pick away in august for the same.
