I think they're very comparable talents. Morris most likely has the inside track, with NFL experience and his first full offseason. Morris was raw, but it looked like he was holding his own and might even be winning the job, until the concussion. Both young tackles fell out of the 1st round because they were raw coming out, but otherwise checked a lot of boxes. IIRC, Morris was the first OT taken after the 1st round in 2023 draft, after a flurry of OT picks in the 1st. I think the Chiefs were overjoyed that he was still on the board when they took him. Ideally, it will be a fierce competition between two starting-caliber OTs. In a perfect world, they're both pro bowl caliber, and they find a trading partner for Jawaan Taylor after this season. Otherwise, they'd almost have to roll with Taylor until 2026. His contract was signed before the t.v. contract, so his 2025-6 cost might look very reasonable to an OT-needy team, especially if he turns in a good 2024 campaign. He really got picked on last year, and had to adjust to the new interpretation of false-start rules.
David Bahktiari is the guy the Chiefs should be focused on. He would be a wonderful fit for KC, Mahomes could finally stop having to run for his life all game. Hopefully the Chiefs would also look to add a veteran WR since Rice will likely be suspended for 6+ games this year. Tyler Boyd should have been a Chief, dunno what Andy is thinking. Boyd only cost the Titans 1yr/4.5m, that's cheap enough for us to go 1yr/5m and add an important veteran WR for us.
Bahktiari would be a very interesting pick up depending on the money although I would like to see what either Suamataia or Morris could do although I’m nervous about Morris depending on improvements in the offseason/camp, a veteran could definitely help with development tho. On the receiver side after last year I’m almost convinced they can win with anyone out there although depth can’t hurt.
I agree and some what surprised they haven't re-signed Smith, that was my impression that they would at some point this offseason. Jet doesn't get enough credit in my book, one of the best blocking backs in the league in pass protection.
Donovan Smith hasn't been great for a decade. Morris looked terrible last year. The BYU is a long shot. I wish Andy would get the job done for once. We should have already signed Wr Tyler Boyd, he wasn't that expensive. Boyd and Bahktiari would truly make use a 3-Straight threat.
Decent breakdown and analysis, but you are WAY too kind to Morris. That was an absolute lowlight film on him. I don't I think I saw a single play where he seemed like an NFL left tackle. Yes, I get it. He was a rook, he's gonna make mistakes against Mack, etc. But he didn't show ANY promise in these clips (admittedly, I only watched the first 10 minutes). Good effort on your part, and I'll keep an eye on you. Like Wanya, you've got some growth and development to focus on. How about some energy, some emotion? But best wishes and take care. I'll be back.
Really appreciate the feedback and support! Definitely took an optimistic view on the film for Wanya, I really like him coming out of OU last year so we’ll see if he can bring his game up to potentially start. It’s all a journey, looking to improve as well so again really appreciate the feedback!
The two Raiders games was a tale of two performances for Wanya, week 12 was probably hios best performance of the year and highest grade of 62.8. Then week 16 his worst performance and grade of 43.8. I'm pretty sure he started week 16 though and week 12 he came off the bench when Smith went down, when he started and teams game planned for him he did not play well.
Hopefully not. He's a smaller version of Orlando Brown Jr. Good run blocker but not athletic enough to stop your better DE's. I remember Vonn Miller having 2 crucial pressures in the Bills regular season game that impacted that game. Slow feet and not that powerful.
I could kind of see that, really if he can improve his first step and get better footwork I think he has a chance and hopefully just rookie timing. It never felt like he was in sync at any time last year.
That left side is getting worked, and he is not winning the battle. I don't know if it's a combination of his technique and them moving back too far. Are the fact that they are not standing strong and creating a pocket for patrick that football out is frustrating, to say the least. This is the Kansas City chief's multi-million dollar man.Why can't you protect him?I'd blame the coaches.I blame the g m this is negligence. Malpractice, even. Shame on the Kansas City Chiefs organization again.
The tackles are a huge problem, the left is far worse I think tho. The problem is they have two guys that need to develop and don’t have the time to. Probably should’ve kept Smith at least for another year. But I agree with you I think it’s on the coaching, maybe the scouting a bit too, both LT’s have been drafted the last two years and they haven’t hit in the draft on RT either. OT is just a weak position for the Chiefs all around.
I think that Kingsley young rookie will eventually win the Job!!
Love when he told Patrick Mahomes that "no one will touch you. Not in practice or in a game!"
I'm excited to see what he looks like this preseason! I could definitely see Kingsley taking the starting job and Wanya playing swing this season.
@@papaschro Now THAT I absolutely agree with. But that's what all the camps and preseason games are for. Very interesting battle there.

Im just hoping that Kingsley ends up being a Beast and takes the job but thats just me

I would re-sign smith for one more year he did great and has the power. Also get mckinnon back hes an excellent pass blocker

As long as its not 74 Im happy
Definitely moving to LT after last year lol

@@papaschro You obviously aren't the only one who saw his potential. And Brett Veach isn't bad company to have. Keep on keepin' on.
Raiders schooled him on his first outing, no doubt.

No more false starts?? HALLELUJAH!! 🤣
We can dream 😂
