If they don't I'm assuming you'll figure that's a let down or disappointment or just look forward to the draft in KC?

Were you really so eager to trade that you'd have them give up not one but possibly THREE players just to get one 2nd-tier pass rusher?

They held the mighty, unstoppable Bills to 24 points. Just ONE more successful offensive drive and they win. It's that simple.

They'll have a puncher's chance for as long as Mahomes is here - well, for at least as long as Mahomes is here and Kelce is still the weapon he is.

Just feels like there was more that could've been done, though.

When you feel like you're right there in the AFC and the SB race, woudln't that behoove you to make a move to try to get even the smallest advantage?

I don't have a problem with playing it this way, but at some point, they're gonna have to win more trophies. You can't keep burning these seasons with Andy and Pat and Kelce because of the "future" forever, right?

It's possible he's a headcase. We've seen his behavior on the field. He's been a starter for a year and a half and honestly we're not losing anything with Jaylen Watson, who has upside that dwarfs Fenton.

Maybe he threw a fit. It's Tuesday, he may have been told now that he's returning from injury he's CB4.

He melted down, and we shuffled him out the door as fast as humanly possible.

I'm just writing Chiefs fan fiction at this point, but we've seen this team inexplicably cut bait with CBs before and we've never learned the truth.

It's a bit scary, but the evidence we have seems to point to them having a real blind spot on the DE/DT prospect acquisitions.

I dunno, just weird.

I liked Eager's work with PFF and his thought process. He has tweeted often about the Chiefs as of late. Is he a Chiefs fan?

That, or a healthy kicker.



Yeah, I would have liked to see them add at least a complementary pass rusher to the fold. Someone to force Malik Herring out of the rotation.

But again, I'd rather them not roll the dice this year and avoid overpayment than jump in and do something that hurts in 2023+.



I don't see it as burning it. I see it as the team feeling that it IS good enough as constructed and sticking to its plan and price ranges.

Being too conservative definitely has potential pitfalls. But so does being too aggressive.

A small sample size yet, but they need a hit in fairly short order.

Speaks, K-Pass, Kaindoh - blech. Not to mention the Clark miss, signing Okafor and moving on from Ogbah. Their 'wins' thus far have been Wharton and Danna; Nnadi has been mostly a draw. Even fliers like Reed haven't amounted to dick.

5 years and they haven't really brought in a single meaningful player. That's starting to become more of a trend than a blip.

They gotta get a couple more right in short order. Maybe it starts with Karlaftis turning a corner.

To me, him not signing to a team so far is more likely him waiting to sign to a contender for the home stretch than teams not thinking he can play anymore.

I'm willing to concede that I felt the same way about the corner position until they just carpet bombed it with draft picks this year. Hopefully they get someone who is a true difference maker.

Last I read, he wanted in the neighborhood of $9M. We simply can't afford that. Now if he wants to cut that in half, it might be worth it.
