Rebuilding the KC Chiefs
OK so this is my pie in the sky fix for our team...
1) Focus on tackling and physical toughness on defense. Our guys simply try for the turnover too often. DBs run to where the ball will be IF the WR doesn't catch it rather than trying to separate the WR from the ball and his head. Instead of trying to lead the league in TOs, we should focus on leading the league in fewest missed tackles and most decapitations. Turnovers will come off physical hits. That's how Baltimore does it. That's how we forced a fumble against NE. 2) We must get 2 defensive playmakers in free agency. I'd like to see us make a run at Kendrell Bell from Pittsburgh and Charles Woodson. Smoot would be ideal, but I don't think Washington lets him hit the market. After last offseasons hold out, I'm not convinced the Raiders will tag Woodson again. I'd like a new MLB, but the truth is that Mitchell is actually improving. He does overrun some plays, but that can be corrected. He's a good tackler when gets his hands on a runner. He needs to better in coverage. Beisel has played pretty well also. 3) While Kennison and Morton have had their moments this year, we need to get younger at WR. At a minimum, one of them must be replaced, preferably both. If we can replace both within the cap then I'd like to see us run after Porter from Oakland and Givens from NE. 4) Right now we would draft 7th and I suspect we may be around #5 after the season is over. I say first round Derrick Johnson - LB from Texas and 2nd round Chris Canty - DE from Virginia. Johnson is the best defensive player in the country and after we cut Holliday, we'll need another DE to rotate in with Allen, Hicks and Wilkerson. Players that I'd part ways with if I can do it within the cap are McCleon, Holliday, Barber, Kennison and Morton. I'd add Woods, but given his new deal, we won't be able to. I'd like to resign Blaylock but Bell, Woodson, Porter and Givens probably wouldn't allow us to. We need to play Johnson more now and get him ready. Those are my thoughts....blast away. |

We're not going to replace our wide receivers. At least not for a couple years.
The offense is fine. It is good enough to win a championship. The defense is not, and until this team finds balance, they won't even get close. Vermeil needs to start running full-speed practices.

Morton and Kennison have improved their play in KC each year. Yet they have also gotten older each year. With a healthy Boerigter back we will be in great shape.

If we are to rebuild a team, chances are that we will have to suffer some of the cap hits, like SF is right now. However, let's say, 100 million is the salary cap. I want at least 45 million on offense, 45 million on defense, and 10 on special teams (kickers, punters, etc.)

Taking away from resigning Woods, Hicks, and Bartee to ridicilous long term contracts, the Offense would had most of the majority of the signing bonsus.

I would have no problem with your fixes but would prefer a DE first. 3/4 of our secondary will be starting again next season so I think our only hope is to get to the quarterback sooner. The biggest downer is the Woods contract. He has been the worst part of our secondary and his contract says that he stays and plays.

Oh, and on that note, I honestly don't want to get players that is all about money (I.E. Woods, Grbac, etc)
I want players who come cheap, but love the game (Like Allen, Holmes) with a passion. I think with that combination of players, you can field a decent fucking team.
