xen 1,010,219 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I read yesterday that Sneed said last week that he didn't want to play on the tag so i guess maybe keeping him wasn't an option after all. Think there were a few mitigating factors here. Had to be a predominantly man coverage team that needs a corner. That eliminated all the zone teams, which are most. Had to be a team willing to give up picks, overlook the penalties, and shell out the contract. As we saw, the contract demand was the stick in the mud. Woof 19m per is a lot. There's only 4 corners making more and they're all younger, either 24 or 25. We still don't really know what's going on with the knee. While I don't think it was much of a factor, I suppose it might have been with some teams. He got 55m guaranteed so the Tits didn't care evidently. qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they still had Vrabel they likely would have been mid round at least. Now they're pretty boon or bust. Levis is still their QB and he can be very volatile.

He's been the bright spot, the one looked at to redirect the family's trajectory. I don't blame him for getting a much $$ as possible.

Holmes4six! 968 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 We also have Nico johnson I believe who from what I heard was going to make the 53 last year until his injury. so johnson Watson and Williams along with McDuffie.

I dont believe Veach gets jobbed or caught off guard by much of anything. I think he may be the best GM in football.

Calichief 3,016 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The market gave us all we were gonna get. The continued Veach doubt is wild to me. Snead was gone for sure next year. We got something for him. Our secondary is stacked and the coaches have proven they can develop that room. just wait until you see Connor doing the same thing boys. That kid can ball.

Calichief 3,016 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Chiefs are probably about to use this pick to move up. Franchise left tackle anyone? Iluvhouse24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thuneys contract has gotten to the point where we almost have to do this if we want to sign Creed. And we'd have to release Thuney after this year if we wanted to resign Trey. Which personally I wouldn't rule out. And they are looking at IOL during draft season too. Veach is always going to think 2 steps ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough to dabble in FA for the leftovers on one year deals. Still then should have money to extend our FA type guys in season then too. I think this is the 2 steps ahead thinking he is doing and then to get a guaranteed 3rd this, this year, before any comp formula that might not gave us one is awesome. Sucks as we all think he could have done better, but it is a pick in the 3rd and a higher 7th than we had before, plus he gets all that cap relief. I can't wait to see if he does extend a couple of our FA then and go into next year with just needing to resign 1 or 2 guys and having more cap then for whatever is needed.

West 6,713 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Great Strategy by Veach Inc. The market is a variable out of his control but the overall approach was fantastic. Chiefs get picks for a guy that would have left because KC could not afford him. KC returns the $19 mil to the pot for extensions and the 1-2 holes they will attempt to fill before the draft. As we have been reminded, Veach and Reid want to be able to "line up and Play" BEFORE the draft to have maximum flexibility for Trades and grabbing BPA's. Great Off season so far....

How much can you move up using only a 7th rounder as bait. We don't get the third round pick until 2025. Not much of an incentive. Maybe move up one spot for a seventh rounder?

jetlord 10,207 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 None of us can predict what Veach will do on draft day, but I doubt he will move up in the first round. The Chiefs need bodies at a variety of positions rather than emphasizing a home run at one of them. If they take care of a backup LT in FA before the draft, they are positioned to go BPA. If they can find a partner, they could trade out of round one and get who they want at pick 35-40. I do expect Veach to trade around day two or later to get his targets as he's done in the past.

Why is next year's pick worth so much less than a similar one this year? The Chiefs will have a lot of needs nest year as well as this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Think we will be fine at CB. I remember when we lost honey badger, ward and breeland etc. We have a much better group now than we had then. Fmbl2187 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
