I think he'd underthrown it to the point that Sorensen would've possibly made a play on it.
But damn, was Dan toasted or what? Amazing awareness and ball-skills. Kid's a ball-hawk for sure. We haven't had one of those in a looooong time. As previously noted - you can see the safety skills there.

It's good to see the All-22. During the broadcast it just made no sense to me that Herbert would attempt that pass. Now it makes a bit more sense.

How often does a rookie corner look ready and actually succeed so early in their development? Obviously Marcus Peters was the outlier but damn this kid is really impressing me.
I’m trying to be patient bc of how we’ve been burned by small sample sizes from MARcus Cooper and Terrance Mitchell. He’s been incredible this far though.

And it's the first 5 yards that are so impressive. He is just immediately up to speed. yeah, it's crazy to me that a guy like this just gets missed. The athletic ability is there in spades and he sure doesn't seem like an idiot. Even if he's not a true stud, how does a guy with this tool-kit make it out of the 2nd round? Great scouting here. Looking past his SR year tape at safety and just identifying attributes that we could develop - that's how you just keep crushing it.

For the life of me I couldn’t figure out what scouts saw to put Trevon Diggs over this kid? I mean if you really looked at them for 5 mins you’d see nearly everything from Sneed was better. Measurables, speed, ball production. But we knew he was a great opportunity asset bc I remember Veach saying he thought abo it trading up to the top of the 4th to get him. It must have been full blown anxiety and stress waiting to see if he would even be there for us. Thankfully he was.

Speaking of rookie corners, anyone know if BoPete got ST snaps this week?
He was active. |

It’ll be fascinating to see what they decide to do when Breeland gets back. These top 3 corners are outside lane guys. So someone has to spend most of the time on the bench...

Probably some combo of how Ward and Breeland are playing and future team plans. As I'm sure you know, Ward is a RFA next year & Breeland a FA. |

Breeland's going to come cheap next year because of the 4 game suspension (risk for another team) and his age (29 to start the year). Ward is one of Veach's best acquisitions and while it's taken him some time to reach true Starter status, he'll be in his Prime years beginning in 2021 and I don't think the Chiefs can afford to see him walk or end up on a rival AFC roster for the following 4 seasons. They can't lose Ward to the Ravens or Patriots, let alone the Raiders or Chargers. |

Ward is an easy call to retain. 1st or 2nd round tender depending how he plays this year. Can’t have enough of those corners.

I'm not sure Ward's as flexible and/or loose-hipped to turn and run as well without a sideline to play off of. But that's where Sneed's athleticism, ball skills and comfort in space are so fascinating. He CAN play inside. I don't think he needs the sidelines to act as a 12th defender. I think you have a damn good trio that way.

Hopefully Hitchens gets his act together and gives us the player that was very good for Dallas. |
