xen 1,010,220 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 No way to tell right now. I think he could have come back this year but for some reason we had to IR him so we could watch berry patrol the sidelines. LDT was more important to bring back so I get that. But Sorenson... woof. What good does knowing the defense do if you suck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Not being able to play him and evaluate him has hurt this year and beyond. Kid can ball. I think he has starter potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,121 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’d still draft safety. Sorensom and Parker are done, Berry is sketchy at best and Murray......well y’all know. Teams need 3 available safeties theses days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 With Lucas and Watts around I think we could survive another year with a healthy Berry so CB is a higher priority need IMO. Still wouldn't object a solid FA pickup or a draft pick as we should never trust 3 guys, none of which has played a full season this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I think it really depends on if werthers originals is gone or not. I think he will be, so S isn't super critical but ideally would like to bolster some Day 3 picks to add there. I anticipate Berry being good to go Week 1 2019, so that's one spot down and they have Lucas and Watts to fight over at FS. If we quit the bend but don't break shit, it'll take a lot of pressure off those guys. Getting some better quality depth would not hurt though.

Draft one, sign the other as FA Then go after other needs in draft and use rest of cap to get extensions done etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it depends on who’s available, but to me safety is my top priority. This has become a premium position where a versatile guy can impact any sub package or base scheme. And our safeties right now can’t cover or tackle or stay on the field. Watts is intriguing and flashed potential, but that’s not enough to impact need there to me.

Balto 723 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I’m still a fan of signing Earl Thomas on a friendly leg break deal. Best case he is 100% and Berry is 100%!!!! Worst case is Thomas plays at a reduced level and Berry repeats this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd make a major play for Landon Collins if they don't franchise him (which they likely will) and if Berry's return is questionable. If they are confident Berry will be back (which Im not sure how that works right now), I'd draft his ultimate replacement early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are confident Berry will be back (which Im not sure how that works right now), I'd draft his ultimate replacement early. Collins can play both FS/SS positions, but he is a natural SS. If we were to draft Berry's replacement, I'd give up our 2nd+future pick for Collins to eventually replace Berry...but have him play FS in the meantime.

sith13 1,746 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If we have the money to spend for a Safety I would pick Collins over Thomas. Definitely more expensive but could be the the perfect replacement for Berry when the time comes. He likely gets the tag though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If we are paying a FS, Id go with Clinton Dix. Still young, good range, etc. Grades out in top 10 overall at safety position this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs need OG, TE, and RB on offense and none at the first round level. They certainly need ILB, CB, and S which is worth first and second day picks. I'm all for them picking up a proven safety or corner in FA, but they need to draft and develop starters in those positions and that usually means spending higher picks on them. It would take a very high powered offensive pick to convince me that the Chiefs shouldn't spend their top picks on defense even with a FA pick up.
