Chiefs Release Taylor, Moore Takes Over Right Tackle

About this episode

Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Line: A Patchwork Unit No More

The Kansas City Chiefs first-round draft pick plans took center stage at the NFL Scouting Combine. Despite Patrick Mahomes being sacked 34 times last season, the offensive lines performance was not as dire as the numbers suggest, due to numerous injuries. With Jawaan Taylor and Trey Smith set to return, the line looks strong, except for the right tackle position. The Chiefs released Taylor, saving $20 million in cap space, and Jaylon Moore is poised to fill the role. Other positions like defensive line, running back, and wide receiver require immediate attention, making a high draft pick for a right tackle less necessary.

For the NFL, it's March 3rd, here's what's happening. The Kansas City Chiefs plans for their first round draft pick dominated talks at the NFL Scouting Combine this week. Patrick Mahomes got sacked 34 times over 14 games last season, but that number paints a misleading picture of their offensive line. Injuries hit hard up front with Ricky Josh Simmons missing nine games to Juan Taylor out for four, and Tray Smith sidelined for nine. Taylor left the patchwork union in most of the year, but with those guys healthy, four fists of the line look solid heading into next season. The only real question mark was right tackle, but the chiefs just cleared that up. They informed Taylor he's getting released before the league year starts, freeing of $20 million in cap space. General manager Brett Vitch sounded unsure at first during Combine interviews. Now Jalen Moore steps in after proving reliable at right tackle while filling in last year, thereby's time without burning a high pick on a developmental guy. Other spots like defensive line, running back and wide receiver need immediate help more

than another tackle anyway, especially with no elite right tackle prospect in this class. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor, see the episode description, comfort you can hear. Then you can relax into S-O-L-I-SoliPillow dot com.
