You're not alone, nor are you some magical fortune teller that called it without anyone else saying a thing lol.

That's exactly what I'm saying! If you and I are both targeting players as players the Chiefs are likely to select far in advance of the Chiefs actually selecting them... Then that's very much a clue that we know what Dorsey wants.

That's all I'm saying, really.

I could totally see him on the outside in a few of these packages.

I've been incredibly encouraged by Gaines' special teams play. And he didn't look bad in the spotwork he did against New England.

His preseason was so horrendous, I have soured my hopes of him becoming an eventual starter -- which is what you want in a 3rd round corner who's 6'1" with 4.3 speed.

But here's hoping.
