The list I shared included only one player, Duveney-Tardif, who was drafted late. I don't know if he won a starting job out of camp but he was re-signed by the Chiefs to a second contract, so he was good enough for that.
Many others on the list were picked up as free agents, two of them earning less than a million dollars in 2019. My point was good scouts and GMs can find quality offensive linemen later in the draft or though other means besides pursuing a Ricky Williams type trade of draft picks to find one sure-fire starter. Which isn't a sure thing anyway.
Depth is what you use when your starters are injured,. Depth is what you always have on hand to develop, groom, train, etc. to hopefully, eventually take the place of your current starters. Right now, Evans and Edwards might be better players than anyone available at their positions in the second round of April's draft. Quality depth is what makes teams perennial winners.
We will cut some good players to get down to the final squad-again. Just how much depth can we keep? We need starters this season
