I like mazi smith and think he'll be a quality player. I don't think he'll add pass rush at all though. He seems more like a run stuffer to me and a guy that's hard to move off his spot.

I did. His production doesn’t live up to his physical profile but his ceiling is huge.

The sacks will come down if Fields actually does commit to taking what the D gives him. He needs to shave about a half second off of his time to throw as 3.45 is just way too long. He gets that to 3 seconds or so and you probably shave off 10-15 sacks on that alone. Having said that the reality is he will likely always have a high time to throw (3 seconds would still be top 5 in NFL) and a decent amount of sacks because mobile QBs with big arms tend to take more sacks than otherwise because they are looking for big plays.

Zac Taylor is from the McVay tree and McVay is from the Shanny tree. Getsy is from the same tree via LaFleur so they all run some variation of the ouside zone.

Sure but I suspect they draft someone and they also have a lot young players on the line who can potentially improve. Jones, Jenkins, Borom, Leatherwood, Carter. Diesch. You probably need 3 out of that group to become viable starters with Jones and Jenkins already a long way there.

Leatherwood showed absolutely nothing last year.
Diesch is a practice squad guy.
They need to draft AT LEAST two guys. And hopefully find a vet to sign as well.
Jones and Jenkins are fine. Borom is fine as a backup. (But they can do better)

You treat Leatherwood as a swing tackle, backup position. If he surprises then good for the Bears.

Yes hence why I said potential to improve. Not saying they will or that we should count on it. But a guy like Jawaan Taylor was pretty bad his first couple of years and then started to figure it out in his 3rd year. In fact most of the guys people wanted in free agency looked pretty bad early on and in many cases you were going to be paying them off of one good year or really for their attributes other than pass blocking.
McGlinchey's pass blocking in true pass sets was 56 for example which is marginally worse than Borom's. So you paying 17m for his run blocking really as not much of an upgrade pass blocking.
And most of the 1st round tackles last year were not all that good pass blocking. Slayer was the only rookie T with a better pass block grade than Jones and he was a 6th round pick so I think people need to be realistic as rare for someone to come right in and be really good at pass blocking.

Someone start a rumor that he runs a puppy mill
That should hopefully drop him to our #64 pick

Except two of the four highest cap hits on the Chiefs last year were defensive linemen. And since drafting Patrick Mahomes in 2017 only once have the Chiefs used a draft pick in the top fifty on an offensive player. So it seems like Kansas City has other ideas about where you should be investing money and draft picks.
