Secondary is starting to really come together

[staylor26]

Thornhill Reid

Sneed McDuffie Fenton

I love this group. Very young. Very athletic. Willing tacklers.

Need to add a 3rd safety in the 3rd or 4th.

Maybe Pitre in the 2nd if you really want to make this group special.

CB was always a need for KC. We lost Hughes and Ward and didn’t replace them in FA

Unless you wanted to go into the season with just Sneed and Fenton while hoping Baker or Bootle play above their heads.

Much rather use a premium pick on a CB (the first time ever in the Veach era). Tired of relying on 4th rounders to fill out the CB position

Not sold on it.

Think about it from a different angle....

Ward was a "good" corner....he just got $14 mill per. Veach mentioned talented guys with a profile like their first 2 picks likely pan out because of of their work ethic.

If they both turn out to be just good...they likely saved the Chiefs $30-$40 million a year for the next 5 seasons.. Just having someone to get Clark off the books is a nice move. Not being on the hook for $28-$30 mill for Hill...Chiefs are set to be players in FA again. If a WR isnt there at 50...it's not as dire as it once was. They can go BPA and continue to shave off salary to be used elsewhere...

They still have 3 picks in what BV referred to as the "sweet spot" in this draft.....they could double down on CB/DE or take a safety. I would take the more expensive positions if they have the players rated equal...


Chiefs just scored two important positions...and their OL is relatively cheap for 3 more years. This is the model for sustained success in the NFL..

You hate everything. You are insufferable. Worst poster on the forum.

I still want another edge in round 2.

I'll take a Myjai Sanders, Drake Jackson, or Cam Thomas thank you very much.


Pair that with a Pickens, Watson, Pierce, or Metchie at WR and I'm thrilled.

so draft players..and trade them in their prime when they want to get paid.. and repeat?

this plus getting big name veterans is a model for success in the NFL..

last 3 superbowl winners including the Chiefs won because of huge veteran signings not meaningless end of round 1 picks..

Looks like Sneed and McDuffie will be moved around depending on matchups.

Probably more Sneed outside while McDuffie plays a lot of slot when more corners on field.

JT Woods may be that man in the 4th...Hill was my draft crush in the 1st, then thought maybe Pitre or Brisker in the 2nd, but wouldn't be surprised if BV pulls the trigger in the 4th w/ a "centerfielder" in the 4th to replace Thornhill and keep Reid in the box.

This is setting us up for 2023 and the future

2022 will be a nice year but 2023 will give us an even better chance at winning the SB

I don't think Spags and Veach want HB's attitude in the secondary room influencing these young guys. When he first came to town he had the perfect attitude to turn our defense around. His mentality has changed dramatically since then. Last season his attitude was crap and his lack of desire to tackle was blatant. I can't imagine he would be any better if no one else wanted him and he had to come back and take less money than he thinks he's worth.

but i dont think u do that..i mean apart from Mahomes having a seizure at halftime of the Bengals game this is a team 3 years in a row making the Superbowl..(we do0nt speak of dee ford)
so now you pump the breaks and start a mini rebuild rebuild with unproven guys and guys who have struggled on other teams (MVS, juju, Reid) ..

I think you need the win now mentality with Travis at the end of his career . .and Mahomes moving backwards ..

Sadly we will turn into Green Bay and the Chiefs will continue to sell tickets because of Mahomes..and they will hang their hat on 2019. .

that 2019 Superbowl was won more because of Frank Clartk and Honey Badger then it was because of Mahomes. . I think 2020 and 2021 showed us that mahomes doesnt dictate this teams direction...nort taking anbything away from PAtrick..hes amazing and I wouldnt want another QB on the team buit hes not as clutch as we hoped

You should probably sit on a shotgun.

At this point, we may be his only option and his value has plummeted.

If we get him for $2-3mil a year, why not

[chiefzilla1501]

Veach does a lot of damage with scrap picks at cb. He's gotten ward, Fenton, Sneed, breeland for peanuts. A lot of that has to do with spags being particularly great with DBs. So we're not even close to finished. We've got a great nucleus to start with

[O.city]

I wonder if they still do anything with Bradberry.

That would be a nice secondary if you could draft a S and trade for him.

Mahomes looks across the field and thinks, I DO NOT want to become that(Russ Wilson twice a year).
