Possible Target: Chiefs OL, Zach Fulton

[alexwilkins]

I know he’s been brought up, but I haven’t seen him as a talking point. He makes a ton of sense. Drafted by the Chiefs in 2014, he’s played in 63 out of a possible 64 games. While only starting 46 games, he’s started both guard spots and has spent time at center. He’s got nice size at 6’5” 320lbs. Plus he’ll be a good 27 years old by seasons start.

Guess it depends on if they want Whitehair to stay at center.

I honestly want to address OG/OC in the draft; whoever offers the best value in round 4, draft that player and tell Whitehair he is playing the other spot. Personally, I like Whitehair more at OG but he's a hell of an OC.

Lol... I played football at Homewood-Flossmoor with Big Z. Junior high basketball too. I've followed his career a bit. He can play several OL positions at a reliable/serviceable level. Which in itself, is valuable.

Funny story... My buddy actually wound up moving to KC and hung with him over last off-season a bit. He would go for a night out with a few of the Chiefs, and Fulton was cool enough to tell some of the girls hanging around that my friend was the punter.

He's a real solid, high-character dude. With an insane work ethic and a great locker room guy. Those are the things I can say for sure. I know those things are peripheral... but this is probably my only chance ever to give legit insight on a player I know personally. So, F it. lol

I would highly prefer signing an FA like this to address the OL as opposed to drafting a guard at #8.

If we draft Nelson at 8 that's good with me but we would still be relying on Long to stay healthy and at least one of our depth guys to make progress. I think "versatile veteran" is a need in the interior regardless. I also want us drafting DBs or WRs in the 4th so I think it'd be good to use some of our $80m (sigh) in this area.

That's awesome, Richie.

I'm okay with Fulton. He turns 27 in September and can plug in at either guard spot, plus fill in at center in a pinch. Decent player now with a (small) chance he improves to something more.
