Don’t chase paying guys to keep a defense elite

Too much variance year to year and offense is more predictable

Watson and Nazeeh coming off big injuries but Conner did look good in the slot last season.

I think we’ll be okay but will struggle early at CB3/CB4

Let's say you can only pick one:

-Pay Sneed a big contract now on the eve of our 3-peat
-Pay McDuffie in a couple seasons when it's his turn

I'd rather pay McDuffie. I think he'll be that much better than Sneed, if he's not already.
We have to pay McDuffie, he's a different breed. The only situation where it would be okay to let him go would be a blockbuster trade. But I'd prefer we just pay him some big money when the time comes.

This.

TEX usually his pessimistic self but he’s spot on. Spags has repeatedly said no one has stepped up for the second corner position. Our secondary is going to have some real regression (and pass rush too by extension).

Our question marks are OL and secondary. Provide something adequate and we’ll win a third SB in a row.

Yea, I dont get that one. Maybe they just didn't have faith in Sneed's knee.

There's already reports in Tennessee about him not practicing.

So you start looking around at teams that are gonna suck that might have a cb to trade

With the caveat that I don’t think it’s an either or, I’m not convinced McDuffie will ever be the full lockdown guy Sneed was last year on WR1s (but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a better career holistically). And I would’ve preferred to go a touch more all in for the 3-peat and let Sneed play on that tag.

Yep. The plan this year is to improve the offense, so it can make up for the defense slipping. With a scorched earth offense, the defense just has to be decent.

I'd be open to this being a spinoff poll. I lean McDuffie but it's pretty close for me.

Midway through the season:

“How do the Chiefs do it? Plug and play and presto: a top 5 secondary”

Trade for Patrick Peterson

Maybe if Sneed had already received his mega millions before this, the Chiefs would have felt better about offering him a 1-2 year deal, but they clearly didn't feel comfortable going 3, 4, or even 5 years.
I just don't know what our elite running offense would do without the best center. I bet we would be really bad. Patrick Mahomes is simply not fast enough to evade nose tackles and you see that every week! Nose tackles just quick and nimble destroying QBs. All the time!

notorious 08-29-2024 05:08 PM
Dudes are panicking and I think it’s simple:

Veach has a list of guys he really likes. If they become available he gets them. Our secondary is fine, you can never have enough guys that can play.

MahomesMagic 08-29-2024 05:09 PM
I expect McDuffie to be playing a lot outside and Chamarri Connor playing inside on key passing downs.
