ChiefsPlanet - Football ****Official 2022 Free Agency Megathread****

This year, I have resigned myself to the notion that there will be a huge influx of athletic BPAs on the roster, but will have to accept we will not replace Hill (so don't reach for his ghost), and we won't solve the edge problem in the draft this year (like Oweh or Parsons), but there's a good Edge out there somewhere after the lead pack of 5 or 6, but it surely won't be in year one. Veach needs to hit on the right one of Mafe, Ebiketie, Ojabo imho.

I'd guess they end up supplementing the DE draft pick with a free agent vet or two post draft.

I Would happy with Mafe and Dax/Brisker or Booth/Gordon, with a DL at 50 or 64. Raw or small-school CBs and athletic LBs available in the 3rd, with Skyy Moore, Shakir, Pierce(watson seems to be gone)...that would be an amazing haul of young players that should be rotational pieces that will be starting soon, and that's not even hitting the 4th rnd yet.

:bravo:

Every guy I like there, there's another guy that will be there at 50 who I like just as well. Not sure how to handle that.

I'm the same. The only edge that seems to fall between 30 and 50 in the mocks i'm doing is Ojabo, and v occasionally Wyatt at DT.

I've said it in other threads but if a couple of the edge guys we want go really early, say mid-teens, the real meat of this draft for edge is at 50, not 30.

They’re years added to the deal to spread the signing bonus out over more years, with the idea that they’ll just be dead cap in those years.

If Johnson and Karlaftis go off the board in the mid-teens, there's no reason to trade up. There's a bunch of guys all grouped together at that point and one of them will be available at 29.

There will be 4-5 available at 29 that can play in this defense and likely Ojabo will be there if we want an elite one that we may miss out on the rookie year of. I love the idea of drafting Ojabo at 29 and then a second pass rusher at 50. Sam Williams, Cam Thomas, the kid from USC and a couple others.

It's time to just use up all the picks and stock as much talent as you can.

MVS' contract has a cap hit this year of less than $5M and his dead money next year is also less than $5M. Only $8.65M is fully guaranteed.

Just goes to show why people shouldn't overreact to AAV numbers, they're almost never real.

Exactly. That's my assessment and it lines up with this from the MVS thread...

I think OTC has all of the contracts updated. They have our cap space at $18 million. You have to think that the draft class is going to be around $11-13 million but we still have a new deal with OBJ, hopefully, coming that will clear some cap space for that.

I could see maybe one or two moves before the draft with that amount.

They've gotta get a vet pass rusher (or two). There some nice ones out there that will need a 1 year deal.
