Draft and develop your own WR's. Andy has done it a lot, it'll happen more with a more aggressive QB.

I'd maybe take a flyer on a low end WR but meh to spending big money there.

Would you please stop linking to fan boy sites?

JFC.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing but the Eagles just won the Super Bowl with 2 free agent starting WR's.

Yeah, but I think that's more outlier than anything. Plus it's not like Torrey Smith was a big role type guy there.

Jeffrey was good though.

If they wanna go big for a WR, I won't be mad. I just think it's money spent better elsewhere.

Well, which do you prefer and why? I've seen a lot of guys on here champion Conley or Wilson on CP, we took notice when Robinson and Mahommes showed some chemistry. They're each pretty good, but none of them have done anything special yet and fanbases across the NFL are not exactly clamoring for their services.

They redid like half their team. I don’t think we've Seen such an impressive offseason by a GM like this in a long time.

Nick Foles
LaGarrette Blount
Jay Ayaji
Alshon Jeffrey
Torrey Smith
Derek Barnett
Chris Long
Timmy Jernigan
Rasul Douglas
Ronald Darby
Patrick Robinson
Corey Clement

I’m wondering if Veach might take an approach like this

The signings like Chris Long are what the Chiefs need to hit on. Low cost effective players. Obviously.

Interesting note: the Chiefs put in a waiver claim for Bruce Ellington when he was released.

Well, keep in mind that Chris Long had already earned more than $70 million dollars before signing a cheap deal with the Patriots, in which he won a Super Bowl, and with Philly, with whom he won a Super Bowl. Plus, he donated his 2017 salary to charity.

Guys like that are far and few between.

Yeah, but just guys that are under the radar pass rushers.

It's somewhat interesting that the Eagles chose not to re-sign Connor Barwin, who went to the Rams, but signed Long on a fairly cheap deal.

Their 2017 numbers are almost identical. Same number of sacks (5 each).

Yeah, interesting.

I think guys like Galette are set up to provide some good value with having to pay them less, if they'll take it.

Older pass rusher seems to be a good place to find value if you have enough other guys that they don't have to play a lot.

And yet Veach passed on James Harrison and Dwight Freeney.

That, coupled with Hali's age and awful ROI may signal that he's just not interested in older pass rushers.

True.

And **** they could have helped in the playoffs.

Basically anything to get Zombo off the field I'm good with. The front 7 needs remade a lot.

He's an RFA coming off of hamstring surgery

https://amp.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...mpression=true

Interesting article. Bad FA class should lead to more trades. We got Ragland and Erving last year.

Wonder if Veach would trade one of our 3rd rd picks for a young proven player?

I’d keep these picks because we’re already limited in draft choices. But I trust Veach in trades. He’s crushed it so far.

Barwin was an odd fit in the Eagles D after they switched to Scwartz, which is why they let him walk for a betterfit with a guy like Long.

Not really.

As it currently stands, the Chiefs have a 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 7, 7, 7.

They’ll get a Comp Pick for Foles, too.

IF big if, they could get Richardson and he's the badass Sheldon, it'd be awesome.

Eh, 3 7s are a total crap shoot. I more or less was taking about rounds 2-4 since we don’t have a first

Reid’s son will have his hands full motivating Richardson and Jones.

Three 7's can be packaged up to move up in the draft or used on a Punter or on guys the Chiefs like so much that they don't want to risk losing as Undrafted Free Agents to other teams.

Multiple 6th and 7th round picks can be extremely helpful in building the roster, especially for Special Teamers.

Thought I read somewhere else on here a lot of the 7th round conditional picks won't actually happen.

Richardson hasn’t had a double digit sack season since 2015 and his numbers are rapidly declining.

I highly doubt Richardson ends up with the Chiefs but if he does, it’s gonna be on a tiny “Prove It” deal and I doubt he can even prove it at this stage.

Seattle likely tags him.

No they aren’t

I will never understand how the hell Denver vcan pay so many players over 10 mil and have no cap issues. Two WRs and two dbs get over 10 mil per year. Von gets 20 mil and they are talking big money for Kirk. How can they do that and still keep the players they have?

They got guys on deals bc of Manning. Apparently Sanders, Talib and Wolfe are all getting cut.

Avery Williamson would be a nice signing. Only 25 and had a good year

Jimmy Sexton, Dontari Poes agent, was telling my staff today how bad Poe wants back to KC. Hopefully we could work something out?

So now that the Chiefs created an unnecessary need at CB, who looks good. Kyle Fuller? Aaron Colvin?

Fuller, Butler or Melvin.

I thought the chiefs were going to interview Harrison but he went straight to ne. Seemed like he passed on us, not the other way around.

I never heard about or read that story.

We do know that the Chiefs didn’t out in a Waiver Claim for him.

Need a CB now.

Wont find a better one

I’m all in on getting Kyle Fuller.

Me too Los Pollos

At least Sutton won’t know when they move around to different WRs.

Tahir Whitehead says he can play 3-4 or 4-3. Great run stopping LB. FA from Lions. Not great in coverage but improving. (Besides, we have Justin Houston for that.) :) Has played both middle and outside linebacker. Price should be affordable and better than most of KC's current LBs.

Obviously. There may not be a better one on the planet.

I can't be positive. Maybe you are right.

Yup

I wouldnt mind Trumaine Johnson either, dudes only 28... gives us two years before the dreaded 30

Either one of that quartet, with Fuller, Amerson and - fill in the blanks - for depth looks pretty good to me

Kyle Fuller (Bears), E. J. Gaines (Bills), Aaron Colvin (Jaguars) and Bashaud Breeland (Redskins) are 26 years old have some good NFL CB exposure and might be good additions. Pro Football Focus gives Gaines an 85.9 rating with 654 snaps, Fuller 84.3 with 1017 snaps, Colvin 78.5 with 700 snaps, and Breeland 79.0 with 856 snaps. Another possibility would be Malcom Butler at 28 years old, 81.0 rating, and 1038 snaps.

The problem on all of these players will be affordability under the cap. I think their market value could very well be around $10 million per year. That was the beauty of Marcus. A very good CB and a very nice price.

If the Chiefs can work out the money, I think I would prefer Kyle Fuller from the above list of free agent CBs.

Gaines absolutely won't give you a 16 game year. Pass.

I'd pony up the money to get Trumaine Johnson, but if they decline, I'd take a good look at Rashaan Melvin.

Pass on Butler as he is on the decline it seems.

This is complicated now, CB FA and draft D line or FA D line and draft CB?

CB FA class seems better, but I think the CB draft class seems better too? I guess I wouldn't mind Poe coming back (open up the hungry pig playbook), Sheldon seems like a big risk.

What 2018 picks are received for Peters really makes a difference I guess.

Yep, maybe he would take a little less than market value to sign and play on the same team with his brother?

This.

Seems crazy to pay high dollar for a CB that will be no where near as good as Peters, doubt their looking to pay another CB.

if they get a CB on a Sean Smith 15-20 mil range type deal then it's a win.

Now which CB that is I have no idea, the FA market will dictate all of this.

Colvin is JAG. I really like Butler but if he breaks the bank, then just use a draft pick.

$15 to $20 million on a CB that will be on the wrong side of 30 when the Chiefs are ready to compete for a Super Bowl?

I think it’s more likely to see the Chiefs take another chance on a cheap prove it deal and draft a CB in the first next year than shell out all that dough this year.

Sean Smith deal as the example from a few years ago when he signed. Not current Sean Smith. If they can get a CB in the 5-8 mil per range they could be okay.

They need to hit that sean smith type guy again that’s not crazy expensive but fits what they want.

H was really good here.

Out the money in the front 7.

David Amerson

They need multiple CBs.

Mitchell, Gaines and Acker are UFAs and we dealt MP. Nelson is going into his last year.

I think signing Mitchell becomes a priority. Still think it makes the most sense to spend FA money on a young LG

Sign Trumane Johnson and Trent Murphy. Acquire everything else through the draft.

I’d be ok if we sign Fulton, Daniel, Mitchell, a good LG and a guy like Kyle Fuller in FA and then draft almost all defense. Maybe a gadget guy to replace Thomas. I’m a gsmbler so I’d prefer Talib and Richardson/Wilkerson but trading Peters sends a loud n clear message that’s not in the plans.

If they dumped Peters for character issues no way in hell they are going to sign Richardson or Wilkerson.

Johnson will require a huge guaranteed portion and at 28, he’ll be on the wrong side of 30 when the Chiefs are ready to contend.

Murphy tore an ACL won’t be ready to work out for teams until after the season begins.

Veach is going to make this roster much younger, which means low effort guys like Richardson and Wilkerson likely aren’t in his plans, as they set bad examples.

Fuller and Attachou.

And Norwell and Marquis Lee on a one year deal, as Conley insurance.

Norwell is gonna cost a lot

I’d rather put that in the defense while Mahomes is cheap but there isn’t much to pick from on d

Avery Williamson is one good option

Left guard is the biggest need on offense.

I don’t care what he costs, get him.

Signing Norwell allows Veach to focus almost exclusively on defense, outside of a #2 and #3 QB.

Backup QB’s are no longer cheap, either.

Agree. I would go all out for Norwell. Protecting Mahomes is top priority. Build an OL that is a ****ing brick wall in pass pro

The Texas punter is a stud.

And we also have the NFL rushing leader and Ware who can take a ton of pressure off Mahomes. I love the idea of spending money on a LG like Norwell.

He’s just gonna be expensive and I doubt they end up sinking that much more in that spot

I wonder if Veach tries to flip some of these picks for players.

So what’s the use of having $30 million in cap space if they’re not going to use it on starters?

I think it's quite possible, if the trade market in Indy is as hot as they expect.

I bet trade haul is leaked this week, too.

Yeah I was browsing around today at guys they may target for some of the picks. There’s def some options

I haven't seen a real list of all the trade block possibilities yet.

I was looking at guys who are on rookie deals or ha e 2 years left on their deal etc

We’ll see what happens

If they cut a safety or two, I wonder if earl Thomas would be up for trade?
