Who are your top FA choices, and why?

#Chiefs spent 20.8M salary/cash in 2013 on the corner position, 2nd highest in the #NFL. Only 1 of 5 @ end of season was starter quality.

Who said our corners sucked? Me. That's right. Can't pass rush if you're not given at least a 2 second window to get there.

That's a bit misleading though. Yes, Robinson sucked. Smith isn't great but to say he "isn't starter quality" is a bit hyperbolic.

And then there's Cooper. I like Riddick but giving up on the guy, especially after the first half of the season he had, is beyond stupid.

Yeah, I know. I just really hope we bring in 1 or 2 guys for insurance next season though. I fully expect Cooper to take a step up in his game and be more consistent next season. He was doing quite well for a while, but that was when he was able to take advantage of QBs who were either equally as inexperienced, or just not good.

Sean Smith was pretty solid for the most part. He's not going to shut anyone down, but he's going to do his job and prevent a lot of plays from happening on his side. He also runs hot and cold though.

The one I have the biggest issue with is FLowers. You can't be paying someone that kind of money if they're not playing like a #1 cover corner. They don't have to be Revis, but they need to be at least on par with the next tier of guys (Haden, Peterson, Grimes, etc).

HAs to be a problem with coaching and scheme.

There is just no way our secondary shouldn't be able to provide basic coverage.

This is probably unrealistic but I would like to have Sam Shields, CB, Green Bay. I'd have him lock down the nickel spot and never look back. It's unrealistic because he probably wants to play outside but, he's the best nickel in the game imo and we play the nickel a lot. He also won't be cheap.

I'd move Flowers to FS. We signed three big corners last year and I don't Flowers fits anymore. It's obvious we are modeling ourselves after Seattle and he could play that Earl Thomas role. He's smart, sticks to assignments, and can tackle. He's fast enough. Hell, Byrd only ran a 4.66 forty at the combine. FS is about smarts and positioning more than speed imo. I think he could do it. Cooper, Smith, Shields, Flowers, and Berry would be a nice nickel package.

Shields is an outside corner, not a nickle CB. He plays the same spot that Sean Smith plays. I'd take a look at Brown too. If you want a great nickle corner then go after Munnerlyn.

True, Shields is outside now but he was the best nickel in the game before he moved. I like Munnerlyn but I don't think he fits the mold of what they want.

We've talked to both EJ Gaines and Verrett about playing in the slot. Pretty sure Munnerlyn fits that role.

Cut everyone but Cooper.

Devin Hester will have options, but #Chiefs No. 1 focus is to re-sign Dexter McCluster. If that doesn't happen, maybe Hester in play in KC.

I'm sorry, why is this not getting more run? Raji and Poe together on the line? **** me, that's just sick.

That depends how motivated Raji is. When he got lazy he played like a tackle sled on that D. He was great in his first couple of seasons though.
