As a reminder, you can add to your roster any free agents the Chiefs added during training camp before you cut to 53. Those include:
WR Chad Hall TE Sean McGrath NT Jaye Howard OLB Josh Martin ILB James-Michael Johnson CB Marcus Cooper CB Ron Parker SS Quinton Demps QB Tyler Bray |
I think we need to decide whether we're accepting the trades for Edgar Jones and Jonathan Baldwin. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm accepting both.
Here is my 53 man roster: QB Alex Smith Chase Daniel Tyler Bray * Out with the trash, in with hope. RB Jamaal Charles Bernard Pierce (Ravens) Cyrus Gray Knile Davis (R) * Davis is my only addition here. FB Ryan D'Imperio * Not happy with my FB situation, obviously. WR Dwayne Bowe Donnie Avery Dexter McCluster A. J. Jenkins Terrance Williams (Cowboys #4) (R) Josh Boyce (New England #4) (R) * I parted ways with David Reed after he bounced around from the bottom of one depth chart to the bottom of another for a few years. I'm hoping that Williams or Boyce will fare better. I'm not optimistic about Jenkins, but at least he's not Baldwin. TE Anthony Fasano Julius Thomas (Broncos) Demetrius Harris * I like the idea of converting a college basketball player to TE. In the meantime, I have a couple of serviceable to good vets. OT Branden Albert Nate Potter (Cardinals) Terron Armstead (R) Oday Aboushi (R) * I sure hope the Chiefs sign Albert long term. If not, chances are good that I'll be revisiting the offensive line in next year's draft, although the rookies might pan out. G Jon Asamoah David DeCastro (Steelers) Kraig Urbik (Bills) * I think I'm set at guard. C Rodney Hudson * I'm still optimistic here. K Ryan Succop P Dustin Colquitt * No big worries at either kicker position and Colquitt should be set for a while with his new contract. FS Kendrick Lewis Hasain Abdullah Sanders Comings (R) *IRdtR* * I'm not sure if Commings is a FS or a SS, but I listed him here. SS Eric Berry * I'm too thin at SS, but at least he's a good one. CB Brandon Flowers Alterraun Verner (Titans) Johnny Patrick (Saints) Marcus Cooper Ron Parker * I like my CBs a lot. OLB Tamba Hali Justin Houston Frank Zombo Cornellius Carradine (49ers) (R) (NFI) Josh Martin * I've got solid starters here, and when Carradine comes back from his non-football injury, I'm hopeful that he can be a third pass rushing stud. ILB Derrick Johnson Sean Lee (Cowboys) James-Michael Johnson Vince Williams (Steelers) (R) * This is another strength area. Top notch starters with promising younger backups. DE Tyson Jackson Sheldon Richardson (Jets) (R) Mike DeVito Kendall Reyes (Chargers) Karl Klug (Titans) * If $Rich pans out, this position group could move from serviceable to a strength area. NT Anthony Toribio Jaye Howard Alameda Ta'amu (Cardinals) * I'm pretty weak at NT Cuts: Eric Winston Kevin Boss Steve Breaston Matt Cassel Brady Quinn Ricky Stanzi Nate Eachus Peyton Hillis Ryan Lilja Abram Elam Stanford Routt Andy Studebaker Shaun Draughn Ryan Swope *retired* Sean McGrath Steve Manari David Reed Matt Tennant DeQuan Menzie Justin Cole Demorrio Williams Brandon Siler Eric Bakhtiari Jerrell Powe Marcus Dixon Chad Hall Quinton Demps Akeem Jordan Wallace Gilberry |
Note: I added Bray. Mistake omission.

Good point, assuming you have them. I didn't draft Baldwin, and cut Jones a while back, so no decisions for me. |
I wish I hadn't cut Marcus Cooper, Sean McGrath, and Ron Parker.

Dang, patteeu, you're building a pretty darn good defense.

It's a shame I let Sean McGrath go, but I got lucky on Julius Thomas so I'll take that. NT is still a pretty big weakness on my defense. David DeCastro had better pan out on the OL to help me forget that I passed on Dontari Poe. |
A review of my team's draft this year. Recall that we traded out of the #1 pick at significant cost to pick up more lower picks.
All in all, I hit first-round gold and got some production out of my lower picks. My mid-round picks were a disaster in their rookie year, though. Round 1, Pick 13 - Star Lotulelei, DT (Panthers) Started every game, played well, and got a couple of DROY votes. Filled a huge need on my team. Grade: A Round 2, Pick 34 - Geno Smith, QB (Jets) Started every game, but it was a learning year. He's my second-string QB and hopefully he'll improve with experience. Grade: C- Round 2, Pick 39 - Menelik Watson, OT (Raiders) Had some nagging injuries that cost him the chance to shine. Started only three games even with injuries to Veldheer. Perhaps he'll blossom next year. Grade: D Round 3, Pick 63 - Travis Kelce, TE (Chiefs) Total injury bust in Year One. Grade: F Round 3, Pick 72 - Brandon Williams, DT (Ravens) This one hurt. He saw very little action this year, and I drafted him after strongly considering both Keenan Allen and John Jenkins. Grade: D- Round 3, Pick 96 - Tyler Wilson, QB (Raiders) Huge bust. Grade: F. Round 4, Pick 99 - Denard Robinson, RB/KR (Jaguars) I don't know what happened here. I took him as a high-risk, high-reward play, and he was looking promising in preseason. But then he almost never saw the field once the season started. Grade: D- Round 5, Pick 134 - Jesse Williams, DT (Seahawks) Went on IR in preseason. Grade: F Round 5, Pick 141 - A.J. Klein, ILB (Panthers) Actually got a couple of starts and made some tackles, mostly on special teams, I think. But still, he made the team. Grade: B Round 6, Pick 170 - Bacarri Rambo, FS (Redskins) He actually won the starting job in preseason and I was quite hopeful, but got demoted three weeks later. He's still better than Kendrick Lewis. Grade: A- Round 6, Pick 204 - Jordan Poyer, CB (Eagles) Got cut by the team that drafted him, and had a good punt return average with the Browns in limited action. At least he's still in the league. Grade: B- |
Here's how my draft looked after the first year. I had a strong first round pick but then my draft nose dives pretty quickly in terms of first year production. Several players suffered injuries (or were drafted with injuries) and I have hope that some of them will bounce back and turn into nice players. Some of them look like pure busts.
1.13 (13) - Sheldon Richardson DT (Jets) Finished as PFF's 5th rated 3-4 DE. Had 4 sacks and was a wall against the run. Lost a couple votes to Star Lotulelei on his way to winning DROY award. Not the biggest hole on my team, but despite losing Tyson Jackson this off-season it has become a strength. Grade: A 2.07 (39) - Cornellius Carradine DE (49ers) Carradine spent his first season on injury lists and making no impact. Given the quality players ahead of him on the depth chart, he's likely to be a role player in 2014. If this pick is going to pan out, it's probably going to be another year away. For now... Grade: F 3.01 (63) - Terrance Williams WR (Cowboys) Williams had a decent rookie season starting 8 games and catching 44 passes for 736 yards and 5 touchdowns. This was a huge hole for my team so that production was welcome. With a chance to go into the upcoming season as Dallas' #2 WR, we're hoping for a good sophomore season. Grade: B- 3.10 (72) - Terron Armstead OT (Saints) Armstead started 2 games as a rookie and looks likely to take over as the Saints' starting LT this year. Not much rookie production for a 3rd round pick. Grade: D 3.34 (96) - Knile Davis RB Davis rushed for 242 yards and 4 TDs in limited action behind Jamaal Charles. He had a pretty good game going in the playoffs after Charles went down with a concussion, but then then he broke. His injury riddled history has me very concerned. Grade: D+ 4.02 (99) - Josh Boyce WR (Patriots) Boyce was drafted with a toe injury so he got off to a slow start his rookie season. He started 3 games but only caught 9 passes for 121 yards. Grade: D+ 5.01 (134) - Sanders Commings CB Missed almost the entire season with injuries. Grade: F 5.08 (141) - Oday Aboushi OT (Jets) Aboushi didn't see the field and will have an uphill battle for playing time in 2014 as far as I can tell. Grade: F 6.02 (170) - Ryan Swope WR (retired) Retired. Grade: F 6.36 (204) - Vince Williams LB (Steelers) Williams started 11 games as a rookie which seems like a win for a 6th rounder. Grade: B |
1-7: Tavon Austin, WR (Rams)
Early returns not good. Only played about 50% of offensive snaps and didn't crack 500 yards. Did show some flashes of the crazy athletic ability that got me to pick him, but also dropped too many passes. Possible McCluster-type, which would be disastrous as a high first round pick. Grade: D+ 2-38: Geno Smith, QB (Jets) Coming along quite nicely. Played all 16 games his rookie year. Struggled at times but finished relatively strong. I'll take it for a second round pick when my team is searching for it's franchise QB. Grade: B- 3-63: Travis Kelce, TE (Chiefs) So far appears to be more fragile than Moeaki. Grade: F 3-96: Tyler Wilson, QB (Raiders) Sweet merciful mother. Grade: F 5-134: Jesse Williams, DT (Seahawks) Training Camp IR. Grade: F 6-170: John Boyett, S (Colts) This is the guy who had the great story last September where he told cops, "You can't arrest me; I'm a Colts player" and then got cut right after. Naturally he is now a Denver Bronco, albeit as a practice squad player. Grade: F 6-204: Jordan Poyer, CB (Eagles) Like Rainman said, he's still in the league and produced some as a rookie. I'll take the same grade: B- |

Nice pick. I was a Star guy the whole way and never considered Richardson. |
I love this time of year. My draft needs:
Huge Need Fullback - Need a starter. I've got no one. Tight end - Need a starter. Tony Gonzalez is retiring and his depth is Fasano. Offensive tackle - Probably need a starter. Losing Albert and Schwartz and my starters will be Eric Winston and Menelik Watson Free Safety - Need a starter. Baccari Rambo and Kendrick Lewis aren't solutions. Outside Linebacker. Need a starter. I've got Hali, but all my other guys are backups. Defensive End. I can't seem to solve this problem. Need a starter. I've got Devito and Alex Carrington, and some backups. Plus Pitoitua if he started. Moderate Need Quarterback - Need a backup. I've got Russell Wilson. Wide receiver - Need a #2 or #3 if I can't find hidden gold. I've got Bowe and Kendall Wright starting. Nose Tackle - Need depth, most likely, but maybe one of last year's rookies will step up. I have Lotulelei starting. Mild Need Guard - Need some depth. Got Wade Smith and Alex Boone. Brian Waters is retiring. Cornerback - Need a dime back, but I'm good with Flowers, Alphonso Dennard, and Sean Smith. No Need Halfback - No need other than deep depth. I've got Jamaal and CJ Spiller. Center - Need some depth. I've got Rodney Hudson. Kicker - Fine. Got Henery. Punter - Fine. Got Colquitt. Strong Safety - Maybe some depth. I've got Reshad Jones. Inside Linebacker. Fine. I've got DJ and Maualuga. |
