Chiefs cut Jared Gaither

[gblowfish]

Gaither is a poor player. Cutting him shows me two things. One, because his head was not in the game at a critical time, he can't even remember the snap count, kills the team momentum, and gives Pittsburgh time to re-align their defense, and play for the pick. Cutting him shows there is consequences to poor preparation and attention to detail. Two, the Chiefs will probably draft a tackle in the first or second round, so they only have to limp through five more games short on the line until the end of year. It wouldn't surprise me if they trade down, and pick two linemen with their first two picks.

They need a tackle to replace Richardson. If they get a good one (first round) that can play left tackle, you move Fat Albert off the blind side, move him to the right, and plug the rookie in at left tackle. Weigmann and Lilja are about done, so you put Hudson at center, then look for a guard to offset Asamoah on the other side. Probably make that your second round pick.

They may be worried about how well Charles speed will be affected by the knee injury, so maybe a running back in the third round.

I'll be shocked if they draft a QB.

Regardless of whether or not KC manages to get two choices in the 1st round?

There is no greater need on this team than QB. Drafting offense in the first three rounds means no meaningful players added to the defense.
