Should be an interesting battle this offseason.

Whatever happened to Welbourne?

edit: hmm... missed that news

Gotta go with Turley in that case... until he gets hurt that is, which should be 2-3 games in

 

[-OZ-]

Black is why they signed Turley.

Won't Svitek have a shot at the job too?

YESI see Turley starting @ RT, and then Svitek taking over for Roaf in '07. WS was an All-Pro in NFLEL and many people have been mentioning him as another Brian Waters-esque move by KC.

Sounds about right. There's no one better at scouting, drafting, developing o-line then the Chiefs.

I just don't think Turley is talented enough to overcome all of the obstacles he's facing. No way he starts.

Have there been any successful OL that have made the transition from NFLE? I can't think of any off the top of my head, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Chase,The guy I mentioned, Brian Waters,

From his bio.......

"...Also became the first undrafted guard to make the Pro Bowl since Newton did it following the ‘98 season … Has firmly entrenched himself as the club’s starting left guard, owning a string of 55 consecutive starts, the fifth-longest active streak of any player on the team … Has come a long way since being cut by Dallas as a rookie free agent in ‘99 … Came to Kansas City for a free agent workout in 2000 when the Chiefs convinced him to make the move to offensive line after working as a tight end in camp for the Cowboys the previous year … Was originally envisioned to be Tim Grunhard’s replacement at center before the club inked Casey Wiegmann in 2001 … Actually started the 2001 opener in place of an injured Wiegmann before moving into his current role at guard midway through that campaign … Worked exclusively on special teams during his debut with the club in 2000, but quickly assumed a larger role in his second season with the club … Worked as both a collegiate tight end and a defensive lineman, giving him a vast background to call upon … In fact, never played offensive line until entering the pro ranks with the Chiefs in 2000 …

He was picked up as a street FA (3/6/00) ... Released by Dallas (9/5/99) ... Originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Dallas (4/23/99).

So you see, there is some good history with KC and NFL EL. Other guys such as Dante Hall made their mark over there before becoming All-Pro's for KC. Hall was 3rd string RB coming out of TX A&M.
