I think with the lower cap this year and forcing teams to cut more players, Chiefs can get a serviceable tackle at a decent price. I would like to see ~3 lineman drafted still. Gotta invest in that to keep Mahomes healthy for years to come.

Yeah, my guess is they go and get another tackle in FA or maybe two. And I am guessing you see two draft picks on OL, a WR, DL, TE and WR. Also guessing if Schwartz does get healthy eventually you could see him resign for less money.
Hope Lucas Niang can play RT
Sign Free Agent to play RG
Draft Center Late 1st Round
Re-Sign Kelechi Osemele to play LG
Sign Free Agent to play LT
There are pieces out there to make it work.
They are expecting LDT to come back also so he could fill a guard spot if still good after a year off. Osemele was playing great before he got hurt, not sure we can rely on him though coming off double knee surgery. Veach has been good on the cap so far, so I bet he has a plan.
I hope they grab Curtis Samuel (FA from the Panthers) and promote Byron Pringle from within.

That's a rock solid five.
Was thinking that too as a potential pickup - but that is an extremely small WR room. Incredibly fast / but zero height.
While I agree, I think the best TE in the NFL has the height thing covered.
Hate to see Fischer and Schwartz go but get that it is a salary thing and both are hurt to where you can't count on them next season. Just hope they have a solid plan with the line because it got abused badly by TB in the SB and with a high priced QB in his prime you can't go cheap and expect to keep him healthy and productive if his pass protection is not good. Not worries about WR because they surely will find a guy to replace Watkins who was either hurt or inconsistent so not like he leaves a huge hole to fill.
Fisher had a lot of scrutiny his whole career to live up to the pick. He never did but he turned into a decent player and a good guy.
The move makes sense.

Fisher was the right pick. It could have been so much worse. Imagine if we went Luke Joeckel instead.
The 2013 draft was so bad he still might have had the best career of anyone picked in the first round.
Reiff is probably a good pickup and might take a discount for a ring. There are still a lot of cuts coming. KC will be very attractive to veteran players looking for a ring.

Why it is so tough to even get back to the Super Bowl. Amazing that the Chiefs made a 2nd straight SB with injuries and opt-outs. Now with releases and free agency and a reduced salary cap it's going to be an interesting off season.
