He certainly hasn't shown me enough to warrant a starting job anywhere. I think you put his hand back in the dirt and you make him your rotational player at the end spots. The Chiefs may very well have to draft or sign another player at DE because I do agree about Hamilton not fitting overly well outside. Neither do Williams and Nnadi though, so he could be an odd man out at some point.

I agree Bailey is probably going and I'm fine with that. There are a lot of interesting defensive interior options in free agency as well as the draft, Brent Urban, Shelby Harris, Margus Hunt, Wilkerson and Suh all playing well and provide a variety of price options to add to the line.

At least we are going to get a long look at Speaks as an OLB this season with the Houston injury, to work out if there's any way he can play there.

I'm fine with a Rookie but if you do that I think I would want to retain Devey. There aren't a lot of options in free agency, Paradis over in Denver is playing very well.

The Morse situation, I agree with you completely. I wonder if the concussion history will mean he won't get a lucrative deal, but he'd be an idiot not to test the market and see if someone will pay him.
