Mloe68 1,521 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I still think we're missing a genuine slot receiver tbh and I believe the Chiefs will be bringing one In. It's no secret they've been working out WR prospects even after we signed Watkins. We haven't had a legit slot WR in many, many years. I think that backup tight end spot will be the focal point of any more offensive upgrades though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think IF we can add a decent slot guy to the mix, it would balance out our WR group brilliantly. And I agree another TE is vital too and I see us drafting one with one of the first four picks tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played on the outside and even as the possession receiver when Maclin went down in 2016. With DAT resigning we have Watkins - Hill - Conley - DAT - Robinson/Chesun on the roster so we could add another WR to the mix as a slot guy but I think that will be taken care of within the roster. Another TE might be the higher priority as Kelce is the only worthwhile guy we have in the position. With a decent guy added to the mix we could see improvement from day one.

kkuenn 3,606 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 TE. Make Harris our 3rd guy out there but could you imagine the damage done with a good TE opposite if Kelce along with the fact we would have depth behind him finally worthwhile.

jetlord 10,209 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The question is do we have to spend all the marbles on defense? That's what I'm asking. We've got eight picks In this draft, Why not spend three of them on the offense to really sure that side up, and then spend the rest on defense? Because as much as we need players on the defense, I'd argue we desperately need a 2nd TE too. Next season's defense should be vastly improved even If we only add three players to it simply because of the return of Berry and Ford. While the offense may be entertaining, it's so frustrating to watch the defense unable to get off the field in critical situations and blow winnable games like the first OAK game or the playoff game last season. BPA is fine as long as it's at a position of need. The Chiefs need a DT, Edge, CB, and S more than any position on offense. Sure, an OG and second TE could help the offense, but it won't do any good if the defense isn't shored up. And after the third round or so, it's hard to get a lot of instant help in the draft. We can't count on every draft pick becoming a starter. Focusing on defense this year is the best way to go with the provision of grabbing an offense player if the value is too high to pass up.

The best recipe for a crappy draft is to not follow your board and draft out of desperation. Just take the BPAaaPoN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 That and Vermeil demonstrated what a top offense with no defense gets you during his time here, while Marty demonstrated the other extreme. Have to stay balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Ugh. The best recipe for a crappy draft is to not follow your board and draft out of desperation. Just take the BPAaaPoN. Yes, yes and yes. Take what is there. This could be a DV era offense and a Dv era defense. We are not selling out on this year. We are building. If we have to suffer through a 8-8 season, poor us. We get a decent pick and a bad ass stable of skill players to build on next year. I think we go 10-6 low end and possibly get some post season experience for this young group. It will be fun regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think what is good to know is that even behind that crap line PM played with in Denver, he still made plays. My concern is what happens when there's 5 or 6 games worth of film on him, what might be exposed in his game as a full time stater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
