Obviously we have holes at CB and a need at WLB but we can address one or the other or both as soon as he decides how to move forward with LDT, Watkins and Jones. No need to rush those decisions until you exhaust every effort to trade or extend or sign them. We solidified the DL with Pennell, we've upgraded ST, we've soldified the wr group with resigning DRob. We need an IOL upgrade at one position at least, one starting caliber WLB, and 1 2 starting caliber DB's. That is very doable in the draft, udfa and some one year prove it deals/other team cuts. We are already better if we do nothing other than draft well. Hard to draft starters at CB, LB, and IOL when the team drafts last in every round. Gotta have some creative trades. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I feel like we need to restructure a contract to get to 50 cents of cap space available for humor purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta have some creative trades. CB is pretty deep. I think we can get a good OL or LB in round 2. I think we will be fine The team is back and we can win just like last year. Also have yet to see how things shake out with contracts for our guys too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka the chiefs give eric berry a mega deal and he decides to quit on the team. Was a stupid move to sign him but an even shittier move by berry Yeah they granted one exception in the NBA for that, even though I can't remember what they called it.

With the way Veach has drafted and what crappy options we ran out of the field last year at Will and IOL its not far fetched to imagine a late 2nd and 3rd rounder player being a pretty decent upgrade. I still think Breeland gets resigned for a pretty decent contract in the area of 3/24 in which our entire team is coming back pretty much with the addition of 5 rookies and our rookies from last year having a year of experience....we should be a good bit better regardless.

I hope they move Hitchens to his role. Limited cover ability, just let him go into lanes and blow it up. No reading just going and plugging the lanes. If it works great. If not let him go next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Bird rights are when a team gets to pay its own player more than other teams. The Allan Houston rule was when a team could cut a guy with minimal cap ramifications. It was ironically not used on Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This CB class is so deep, I have little doubt that we can find a day 1 contributor at the end of rd 2. Maybe not an immediate starter, but someone in the rotation. We still need a veteran with starting experience there though. Hopefully on a 1 yr deal that doesnt affect the comp formula. I'm praying to the heavens that Queen or Murray drop to 32. I'm jot optimistic. Although a lot of pundits seem to believe Baun has the ability to play Will in an even front or Edge in an odd front. He should be there at 32. I think we will have much better luck going LB rd 1 and CB rd 2, than vice versa. This LB class is pathetic. And yes, I also agree they could find a possible day 1 starter at C or OG in rd 3. Rankins is already going to upgrade LG. I cant wait to see how he performs with a whole season to work with Heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the LBs is still there at #32, the Chiefs should grab him. If not, they could trade down to #37 or #38 and pick up an early fourth, still get the CB they targeted, and have that extra pick around #112.

I agree. Does resigning your own FA's count against the comp formula? (e.g. Breeland) You are totally right about the LB and CB class. I've been hearing some stuff about Murray not being the greatest fit, not sure how true that is. He surely can't be a downgrade over what we ran out last year though. I think Baun might be the guy and he might end up being better than both. Queen is a freak but he's smallish too for what Spags typically likes at LB. I would be happy with any of the 3 but you won't find anything but long shots at 63 at the LB position. Still though I think Rankins is an upgrade and Wylie back on the right side might really help our IOL. Not sold on Reiter though and would love drafting a center this year but maybe Allegretti is a dark horse there. Should be fun once things actually start picking up.

There are several centers or guard/centers that would be an instant upgrade over Reiter. Muti, Ruiz, Cushenberry, Harris, Biadasz might be instant starters.

I'd agree that Spags typically goes with the heavier LB except if you look back, including his time here in KC, he tries his best to get a very athletic WILL linebacker. Going back to Giants days and having Jonathan Casillas man the WILL that would give him a fast LB for coverage and overall athletic abilities even though it seems Casillas at about 220 couldn't cut it on running downs and would be subbed. Same goes with DoD here. Seems that didn't work out so here comes Lee and that didn't do what he wanted either. So I think if giving the chance Spags would LOVE LOVE LOVE a guy like Queen or Murray over Baun for his WILL. I'm thinking that either Queen or Murray could be that WILL he has always looked for but come up short. Now just have to figure out how to move up for Simmons HAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,599 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Surprised no one has mentioned Clowney, especially Balto. He has lowered his asking price. Figured I would see something like Watkins is restructured or cut. Saves us 14 mil if cut. Let Reiters go too. The sign Clowney and keep Jones tagged for now to work out a long term deal or trade him next year. Draft Ruiz (C) and go from there. Clowney, Jones, Penell, Clark in the line. Saunders, Speaks, Okafor and Nnadi as depth. Be even better if we signed Breeland and only need to get LB, WR us deep and maybe RB/TE in draft then if we got Ruiz at center.
