Well, after Marcus Peters. We have terrible CBs...even though I think Chiefs fans underrated Phillip Gaines. Nonetheless, we have a bunch of chodes when we go into the dime and we STILL cut Russell who was a 3rd round pick this year. Speaks volumes about how much the staff was unimpressed by him.

It's honestly tough to say. He obviously had some level of talent coming out of college or we wouldn't have drafted him. It sounds like he's not that smart of a guy, as the most public criticism we've heard about him is that he's had a lot of trouble grasping the terminology the Chiefs use. Aside from that, he largely just couldn't get on the field above other guys we drafted later, so he pretty much showed the fans nothing.

File this post under the "Things that happen in Madden but not real life" category.

Would we trade Jamaal Charles straight-up for a cornerback? I love Jamaal, but if he's back...well...I think we've got a rich talent pool at RB right now.

Just spitballing.

This.

The Chiefs probably didn't expect DJ White to beat out Russel. It happens. I'm happy to see Dorsey have the balls to move on from a high round pick.

And FWIW, i expect him to be added to the PS.

There had to have been an off the field issue then.

The other thing to keep in mind, guys, is that without trading out of the first round, which resulted in the Chris Jones selection in the second round, the Chiefs wouldn't have even had a third round selection to make.

That trade also opened up the opportunity to draft multiple 4th and 5th round players, all of whom made the roster, save for Kevin Hogan, who most likely wouldn't have been drafted by the Chiefs, either, had it not been for all of Dorsey's moves.

Yep, off the field the Chiefs kept telling him he was terrible on the field.

Funny guy!

Very plausible possibility.

What? No "Well bye"?
ROFL

For as hell bent as Dorsey was on getting back into the third round (seriously, Captain Ahab wasn't as fixated as Dorsey was on the third round), he sure shit it away, didn't he?

So in effect, the Chiefs gave away an additional year of team control of Chris Jones for....nothing. Nothing at all. And that's what I hated about that trade down to begin with.

It wasn't Chris Jones, it was that if you really think Jones is a player, you just take him in the first and leverage the value of the player option to save yourself a shitload in the long-run. Agents are digging their heels in on franchise numbers now that they've gotten so high. The franchise tag isn't going to be much of a benefit for teams going forward. So if you can't get guys extended early, you're stuck fighting in the market for them.

One way to help get that extension is the threat of the 5th year option (see Fisher's deal, and Fisher's deal was even harder because the 5th year option for him was more than twice what it would be for a late first rounder).

The trade down failed.

So they brought back moses, which is nice.

I don't see them trading for anyone.
