Throughout the years and particularly this preseason, the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line has often been a subject of controversy and ire.
The Chiefs have made strides along the offensive line by adding and developing first-overall pick Eric Fisher, drafting second-round pick Mitch Morse, developing a top-tier right guard in Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and acquiring top-tier right tackle Mitchell Schwartz but have always left the remaining guard spot up for grabs for someone to show up and take.
Traditionally, in football, having a single weakness along the line is not a killer, unless that player ends up being so bad they can’t even slow down an opponent (see Mike McGlynn).
