Chiefs Sign Sean Smith

[ChiefMojo]

@ALLsportsINTEL reporting Sean Smith to KC! Is this his agent?

[Jayhawk Chief]

Fantastic off season. We'll have to wait to see how it works out, but on paper....

Would they really want to mess with putting Flowers in the slot? That's a pretty radical re-alignment.

I don't think Welker's any better than Decker. Robinson can hang with him in the slot just fine.

Alex Smith sucks

People are really under rating the Abdullah signing. IMO, he'll have more of an impact than Robinson.

Chiefs agreed to terms with CB Sean Smith, formerly of the Dolphins, on a three-year contract.

The news — which was first "reported" by Smith's former teammate Vontae Davis two weeks ago — comes via Smith's agent. He joins Brandon Flowers and Dunta Robinson to form one of the league's better cornerback trios, though Robinson could still end up at safety. It's the same failed strategy Andy Reid adopted in Philadelphia, but he's willing to give it a second chance as division-rival Denver transforms itself into an offensive colossus. Regardless of where Robinson plays, Smith will bookend Flowers on the outside. The Chiefs might not be ready to compete for a playoff spot, but are going to be a far tougher out in 2013.

I wouldn't mind Dansby a bit, at the right price.

Sadly, do we have a good DC?

People around the league believe Smith will gain about 5 mil a year.

134 tackles last year. On the old side but still a difference maker. Other thing is trade down with whoever and take Ogletree.

Fyi, while we wait to see what Sean Smith got $-wise, a note that CB Dunta Robinson got $13.8m from KC not $15m as I'd seen elsewhere.

This will make the draft more interesting... look for Reid to go after playmakers on both sides... with fewer holes to fill.

DT, Neil Smith, Dan Sally,Joe Phillips, Dale Carter, James Hasty, Mark Collins....


Got a lot to do to compare to the above

Exactly.

I don't see any way they don't trade down at this point. With Hudson's injury and Allen's suspect play last year, not to mention Lilja's retirement, the Chiefs clearly need to take some linemen, no question. And while I think it's pretty apparent that O-Line is probably where they're going with their first, I can't imagine they aren't going to take a 'bad' trade down which would allow them to get yet another potential interior lineman in the 2nd.

They have to be maxed on the cap and they still have 3 clear holes (ILB, RT and either C/G...maybe both). They need the ammo in the trade down to fill those holes in the draft.

They can't just take Joeckel and call it a day; they're going to need another immediate contributor and I think they'd be fine moving down, taking Lane Johnson and then adding that 2nd round pick as an absolute worst case scenario.

I don't either. His 2012 PFF rating was garbage, but that doesn't necessarily tell the whole story.
