After the Chiefs drafted Eric Fisher, someone asked me on Twitter to predict the Chiefs’ starting offensive line for the first regular-season game, left to right. Here was my answer: Branden Albert, Geoff Schwartz, Rodney Hudson, Jon Asamoah, Fisher.

“Baldwin is kind of a tweener.,’’ Reid said at the NFL’s annual owners meetings in Phoenix. “He does have good, long speed, not great long speed. He’s somebody that needs to continue to develop. That’s a position that you need time to develop in. We’ll see how he does.”
