A look at 2014 Free Agents - Who should we pursue?

Obviously, there are several vulnerable spots on the roster that could and should be improved upon. John Dorsey isn't a huge free agency guy, or hasn't been in the past, and will no doubt look to improve many of our problems through the draft. There are, however, several big name guys that could garner some attention from the Chiefs. Here are a few positions that I think we need to improve upon, and the 2014 FA's for those positions (age of FA shown). Feel free to add to the mix. I've bolded a few players that I think we may show interest in.

3 of our OL are coming up as FA's (Schwartz, Asamoah, and Albert) so we'll need to pick up a few pieces or resign some guys. I'm betting Albert is gone.

Who should we pursue? Who should we avoid?

Discuss.

WR
Eric Decker, 26
Jeremy Maclin, 25
Julian Edelman, 27
Hakeem Nicks, 25
Anquan Boldin, 33
Golden Tate, 25
Kenny Britt, 25
Riley Cooper, 26
Emmanuel Sanders, 26

TE
Jimmy Graham, 27 (Saints would be full reerun to let him go)
Dennis Pitta, 28
Brandon Pettigrew, 28
Fred Davis, 27
Garret Graham, 27

OG
Jon Asamoah, 25
Geoff Schwartz, 27
Travelle Wharton, 32
Richie Incognito, 30
Kevin Booth, 30

OT
Branden Albert, 29 (possible franchise tag again?)
Zach Streif, 30
Eugene Monroe, 26
Jared Veldheer, 26
Michael Oher, 27
Austin Howard, 26

DE
Greg Hardy, 25 (not going anywhere)
Jared Allen, 31 (4-3 guy)
Michael Johnson, 26 wishful thinking here.
Lamaar Houston, 26
Justin Tuck, 30
Arthur Jones, 27
Robert Ayers, 28

LB (we need help at Jordan's spot)
Brandon Spikes, 26
Karlos Dansby, 32 (many here wanted him last time around)
Jon Beason, 28
Jonathan Vilma, 31 If Sutton stays, expect Vilma to get a look for a short-term deal.
Daryl Smith, 31

CB
Brent Grimes, 30
DRC, 27
Vontae Davis, 25
Aqib Talib, 27
Charles Tillman, 32
Captain Munnerlyn, 25
Chris Harris, 24
Others could be listed here as well.

SProbably our most glaring need, after Kendrick's debacle of a season
Jairus Byrd, 27 (will likely be tagged again)
TJ Ward, 27
Donte Whitner, 28 (SF may not be able to afford him. We may not either.)
Bernard Pollard, 29
James Ihedigbo, 30
Major Wright, 25
Chris Clemons, 28
Antione Bethea, 29

Those are just a few to get us started. Go.

It's safe to say that all of Denver's WR's number would drop 35-40% without Peyton.


That's being generous, too.

Those types of coaches generally go with the guy that knows what they want him to do. Guys that can interact with the coaches in between plays in practice and talk their way through their responsibilities. Lewis is that guy. Reports were that he was the signal caller for the defense and old school coaches value that kind of thing.

Abdullah was our second best safety, but was coming off a year away from the game and having a backround in the cover 2 4-3 defense from Minnesota...so he had a lot to learn and had to get into football shape. He was on pup when I was at camp.

Demps and Lewis came from similar defenses and most likely picked up their responsibilities a lot faster because their learning curve was probably shorter.

What these types of coaches don't value as much as they should are instincts and playmaking ability because those are things you don't "count on"...those aren't things you coach in practice, so sometimes guys like Lewis will play over guys like Abdullah when the DC is a stubborn old **** like Bob Sutton.

Just don't drop him into coverage where he has to make decisions very often and he would be fine.

He has always played well against Peyton Manning, too. Lots of interceptions from him, even.

I would like to sign Darren Mcfadden. What if we see him with 100+ yards games against Oakland? That would be great.

I am really wondering where McFadden ends up. What team would possibly want to sign a RB who won't last the season?

If he gets anything more than a 1 year deal, I will be astonished.
