From Clayton

Many of the top receivers in this year's draft project to be No. 1 receivers in the future. Watkins is clearly the best receiver to hit this league since A.J. Green of the Cincinnati Bengals and Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons. The draft is loaded with great receiving prospects -- Watkins, Mike Evans of Texas A&M, Odell Beckham of LSU, Marqise Lee of USC, Kelvin Benjamin of Florida State and Brandin Cooks of Oregon State. Teams may prefer the potential of drafted receivers over the track records of the receivers available in free agency.

Other than that he's been a career backup. You think that's a coincidence?

The problem with these stats is that they are not broken down by position.
He started about 5 or 6 games at RT and gave up most of those 6 sacks ther (3 that I watched).

He was far more steady at guard.

That's cause for some worry.

What's going to solve that issue in 2014- a season where we want to win playoff games and take this team to levels that it hasn't seen in 20+ years?

A ****ing rookie, or a veteran who began to play well with this team as soon as it began to gel?

Like I said, drafting a Larry Warford is a smart idea. But you have to find him first, and even browsing through the prospects available in the 1st and 3rd rounds is far more difficult to find that quality of player who can contribute instantly than you're making it out to be.

Hell, Mike Iupati sucked his first 1.5-2 years in San Francisco. And even now he's not exactly some impenetrable force. I just saw a highlight reel posted by you yesterday where Red Bryant made him his ****ing bitch.

I for one do NOT want to deal with the headache of a 1st round OL who "needs time." Not when we're trying to plug and play and win NOW.

Like hearing the positive news. Maybe Schwartz will take a discount, if that's our sticking point.

Too bad it wasn't a legit source, but who knows. I'll take any positive news at this point. Even from Barry.

OldSchool 03-01-2014 02:39 PM

If we can't get Schwartz back, I hope that we try to get Travelle Wharton in here. He's the only other versatile OL player available in FA that could start and play well at OG. He's just older than Schwartz.

A "qualifying free agent" is a player that was on your roster the entire year and entered free agency due to his contract expiring.

So if we lose

Albert
Jackson
Abdullah
Schwartz
Asamoah
McCluster
Demps
Lewis

To free agency and sign no "qualifying free agents" to replace them with, we would get a comp pick for each of them.

The comp picks range from rounds 3-7 and the things that impact the quality of the comp pick awarded the most are playing time and contract amount.

Nope. The max number of comp picks one team can get is 4.

Schwartz said on 610 that he would love to come back. I believe him.

The Chiefs gave him the chance/opportunity that he wanted and it eventually worked out for both parties.

I think that this is more of an agent trying to bleed every potential penny out of a free agent situation than anything else.

Schwartz fits the RG spot in Reid's system quite well. I don't know if that would be the case elsewhere and I'm not totally sure that he's going to get top flight starter money on the market.

I think that the guy wants a home and the Chiefs want him. It's just his agent making noise.

He'll be a Chief in 2014 and starting at RG.

Just hope that's true. Would make our OL situation a lot better. I am intrigued by Rokevious Watkins though, can he put the BBQ down like Poe did to stay in shape though?
