It would be nice if Tim Ward and Kaindoh develop this year and put some good stuff on tape so they feel comfortable moving on.

Me too.

He looked good week 17 against the Chargers' starters.

He flat abuses second team guys.

I'm optimistic. But I usually am.

I think if Kaindoh just gets a few opportunities to see real NFL game speed itll be good for his long term development. He looked decent reading runs both too and away from him against 2s and 3s. But some real deal looks couldnt hurt him.

May be why his play has declined even further. Knows with the felony charges and his play recently it's his last year of making significant money from us and almost definitely any other team so he's mentally checked out.

Read the end, yes. The QB is responsible for dealing with the unblocked man through his pitch/keep decision.

When the end doesn't crash, why are you pitching it wide? RB is a sitting duck at that point. You pitch it if/when the end commits - Clark didn't.

Looked to me like Jackson needed to take it up the middle when Clark didn't come upfield.

Clowney cost $29 million over 3 seasons and a 3rd round pick + some roster chaff.

Clark cost $65 million over those same 3 seasons + a first and second round pick.

This really the argument you want to make?

Ideally you don't do either of those trades, but I'd still take Clark over Clowney even with those parameters based on the hindsight of Clark actually being a key contributor to the Super Bowl run. Clowney just seems like an even shittier DE version of Hammy Twatkins

Also based on the fact that if we hadn't traded that 2019 pick we most likely pick one of the shitty DL from the bottom of that first round based on all our draft visits. Or the degenerate CB we ended up with anyway.

I said when we made the trade (and even when he was dog-shit into November of '19) that flags fly forever and if Clark was instrumental in a SB, it's hard to call the trade a failure.

But right now, if I could trade Clark for Clowney, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Straight player for player I'd probably still take Clowney and when you factor in their respective contracts and cap hits, it's not a close question.

Last year was a wash at best. Clowney was better when he was on the field, but he wasn't on the field enough (as is his custom). Then again, I'm not sure what Clark actually provided when he was.

I mean the only benefit Frank Clark has provided this team was a 6 week stretch (ish) at the end of 2019. We could argue just how critical he was in 'closing' wins that were largely decided by the time the sack in question happened (two of which were coverage sacks), but every play counted in the Super Bowl and he made one. So that makes the deal a 'win' in the same way Watkins deal was a win - a bad acquisition in a vacuum that was made palatable by a championship.

Clark is bad. He's been bad for awhile. Injury, motivation, diet - whatever. He's just a bad football player and there's little indication that this is going to change anytime soon.

Maybe.

But I remember one of 'The Franchise' episodes where Veach seemed really high on Rock Ya-Sin and CB was another clear need at the time, coming off the AFCCG debacle.

Wouldn't have surprised me if he was the pick. He's been...fine. But the fact that we took Hardman where we did also puts in the back of my mind that maybe AJ Brown would've been the guy and that one stings.

Chris Jones will fix his shit. He's going to be good out there.

He just couldn't tell which way was up by the 2nd quarter. He'll learn from it.

He deserves criticism for a shit game - it was as bad an effort as you'll see. But that's not who he is going forward or who he's been in the past. He's an elite talent and that will surface as the season goes along.

Nobody replicates Hill.

That was the mistake they made - thinking they could replicate a unicorn. I said it at the time - if they think they're losing Hill, the answer isn't to replace Hill, it's to re-think their approach. Because Hill is on a HOF career arc, you don't just replace that.

And you don't even find a reasonable facsimile for a guy like that. It's like thinking Noah Gray can replace Travis Kelce if he gets hurt. He can't. If Kelce goes down, you can't just plug Gray in and say 'close enough...'

You'll have to do things differently. And that's why they shouldn't have been looking for a Hill replacement, they should've been looking for the best possible WR they could've gotten their hands on.

I understand why they did what they did - I just don't think they should've done it.

Damn so you dont think Veach went for the best WR rather one who could replicate Hills game? Even though it's been reported Veach felt pretty confident with the whole Hill situation at the time. Regardless this is a pretty big deal if this is how Veach was thinking with his drafting.

I mean....I kinda hope that's what he did.

Because if he really thought Mecole Hardman offered the best possible WR on the board at the time....yikes.

I mean I'll accept "Veach felt like he needed a genuine speed threat to keep the field open for Kelce/Watkins going forward". It's a justification that makes sense anyway. I don't like the thought process, but it's not facially absurd.

But "Brett Veach thought Mecole Hardman was a better overall WR prospect than Terry McLaurin and DK Metcalf...."

Well like I said, that's a yikes. That's a BAD read if that's how he saw it. That's a seriously flawed 'decision lens' for a guy who's not exactly showing a superb eye for WR talent right now.

I mean look at the wealth of WR talent the Chiefs could've had during Veach's tenure. JuJu, Kupp, Godwin, Golladay, Gallup, Kirk, Sutton, Brown, Metcalf, Brown, McLaurin, Johnson, Claypool, Higgins, Mooney, Davis...

There's been a TON of WR talent go off the board in the last few years. I'm not sure your 'hope' here is actually the preferred alternative. I'd rather wrong-headed thinking than just a bad eye for talent.

I'm glad we're finally putting Veach in the crosshairs. There was so much blowing smoke up his arse in the offseason it got weird.

His first round draft picks have been effectively Clark, Brown and CEH, but Clark without the rookie contract as well. That's not looking great. The argument that he was instrumental in the SB win I get but I'd take the counterfactual all day that those players that have been consistently better throughout their careers would have had just as great, if not greater, impact on helping the team win a SB. And the difference might've been them not being a massive deadweight for the rest of their time.

I'm not sure building a legacy is done by bringing in one extremely expensive hired gun for one year's playoff performances.

The Reed signing and Jones move to DE I can't bitch about because I liked the latter part of the equation. But it looks more likely to make us poor in two positions now.

I don't think all Veach's picks and moves have been duds, but there more questionable ones out there now.

If teams blanket you with coverage, you don't get open and Mahomes should be looking to other guys running wide open rather than forcing it to Hill. Hill gets no blame in my book and deserves credit for the long Kelce, Pringle, and Robison TDs.

Tyreek is a special case. He requires a double team on essentially every play. When Reek only logs 3 catches for 14 yards as long as he has no drops, fumbles or penalties, I don't have a problem with it. That means he was drawing two defenders on every play, which should leave Kelce or one of these other scrubs with a prime 1-on-1 matchup.

They even talked about it during the game. Teams have mostly been playing with 2 safeties over the top against us to limit the big play and that is almost entirely due to Hill's skillset. No one is playing cover 2 because of Kelce, Robinson, Pringle or even Hardman.

Mecole was a classic Andy Reid prototype. Metcalf was straight line fast but horrendously slow laterally (remember his 3 cone?).

I think Andy didn’t want Metcalf bc he had seen someone similar in Conley with those issues which limited YAC.

And yeah Terry McLauren is great but keep in mind he was a 3rd rd pick. Everyone passed on him multiple times

Any player - ANY player - can be removed from a gameplan if the opposing coach commits to it. Belichick has always insisted on removing Kelce from the gameplan and as a rule he has succeeded.

The Ravens weren't going to let Hill beat them. They had people blanketing him all day. That was a big part of Kelce and the secondary WR options having good days.

As much as people talk and talked about Mecoles 3 cone speed, he shows surprisingly little agility and "bend" when he runs. Its all straight line speed with him.

His first postseason here is so overblown for a few reasons -

People just couldn't admit that it was a mistake to trade and sign for him.

He talked a bunch of shit and said some cool things.

And people were fucking ecstatic that we actually won a SB.

Watch his sacks that postseason and find one that he dominated a guy or a sack that was during a crucial time and actually won a game.

Watch his sacks that postseason and find one that he dominated a guy or a sack that was during a crucial time and actually won a game.

Uh… his sack in the Super Bowl against the 49ers pretty much fits that description.

Rewatch that play.

They run a stunt and Frank is looping inside and is basically untouched because Chris Jones absolutely destroys the guy that is blocking him and the guy that would have blocked Frank. KPass also beats a double team to force Jimmy up into the the pocket right into Clark. Clark's the beneficiary of great play by his teammates. That's all he's done since he's been here.

You can acknowledge that Frank had three game closing sacks in the 2019 playoffs, something this forum often said we lacked in the playoffs for generations, while still thinking he’s performed like refried ass since and needs to be released at the first possible opportunity.

To audit one of his greatest stretches of games in his career doesn’t really seem like a necessary addition to plainly stating we need to cut ties at the first chance we have.

Yeah that was a dumb post. His sack against the Titans closed that game out.

He also had 3 against Houston.

If memory serves, he had a sack against the Bills and the Buccaneers in the postseason too last year. I think he even got a crucial QB hit late against the Browns.

Clark isn’t near reliable enough to make what he’s making, but to say he hasn’t made several big plays for the team is just a lie.

He's an overpaid Grant Wistrom when he's healthy.

He's a motor player - when he's actually healthy he'll at least battle a bit and if someone else can flush the QB or if the secondary can give him 3-4 seconds to get there, he'll just keep plugging and eventually get the sack.

But he's not a true pass rusher. He doesn't do anything to speak of to win a rep. His technique isn't a plus, his athleticism is just fine, his strength is just fine. He grinds, but that's the best you can say for him. He doesn't win the rep as much as he just hopes enough of his teammates win theirs for him to clean up the mess.

And again - that's when he's at full health. The best version of him you'll get is a complementary player

This version doesn't belong on an NFL roster.

He has the talent to be a game changer. The dude is not motivated and is a lazy POS. He is a liability 90% of the snaps because he does not give a shit.

Why can't I look "audit one of his greatest stretches of games in his career"? Especially when people use that stretch to justify his contract and the draft capital used to acquire him. Hell when I see people saying "we don't win the Super Bowl without Frank", then I really think that his "big plays" need to actually be looked into.

There is literally not one sack that entire postseason from him that isn't caused by either the QB holding the ball way too long or where he's not benefitting from his teammates dominating on the D line.

Texans sack 1 - 3rd down/losing 14 with 3:07 left in the 1st quarter - this would be the best of the bunch if we don't fumble the punt and give it right back

Texans sack 2 - up 10 with 9:28 in the 3rd qtr, Watson runs around for an hour and finally gets knocked down. Coverage sack. Frank says thanks DBs!

Texan Sack 3 - Up 20 with 1:31 in the 4th qtr, 4th down. No one touches Frank off the edge and gets a sack

Titans sack - up 11 with 1:28 left in the 4th qtr. Frank actually beat the tackle by turning around, lays his back into the OTs chest and rolls off him, then catches Tanny. This one is all Frank and a really shitty play by the OT.

Super Bowl sack - already described what happened and if not for Jones and KPass, then it doesn't even happen.

Hali was a beast. **** out of here acrting like the Chiefs have never had good pass rushers on outside before Clark got here.

Stats don't always tell whole story. Frank Clark got some sacks in SB run which helped the Chiefs win. Absolutely and that is great but to act like he dominated in those games and was main reason the defense had success is BS. He made some plays at the right time but nothing more. He wasn't Derrick Thomas out there.

It is what it is. There's nothing Veach can do about the Frank Clark trade but hopefully he learns from it. At least he made some plays in that SB run so it wasn't a total loss but still bad and its hurting this team, especially the pass rush, right now.

Hali and Houston both make those plays. In both of those games Frank has a sack that he is basically untouched. One because they decide to not even block him and on the other because he's looping inside and Chris Jones knocks the center back 2 yards and on his ass the instant Clark gets touched by him.

I think Frank Clark might be a case study of what happens when guys get paid. He had a troubled childhood past living in poverty. Now he’s got his first huge check. He also won the Super Bowl, so he’s accomplished the 2 things most players want in this league regardless if they love the game or not: a ring and wealth.

It’s like working out. You work your ass off and finally get the body you want over time. Then you turn out like Lewdog and get a hot chick in bed. You’ve made it. But the hard part is the consistency. You need to work out to keep that body which is a standard requirement to bag a super hot chick (unless you’re loaded money wise), but that’s too much work and since you’ve already had the body and sex with the hot chick, you feel like you’ve made it and taper off down the line to regress to the mean.

It’s life. And I think that’s what has happened to Frank.

I don't really care how desperate we are at a certain position. No more trading 1st rounders for players who need big contracts.

A team needs great players on cheap contracts. When you trade those picks away and hand out big money deals to those players, it kicks you in the nuts multiple times. That can be ok if the player is a Pro Bowl-level guy (at MINIMUM) at his position, but even then, you can't do that shit all the time. You'll run out of cap dollars pretty quickly.

Yes, I know Veach is probably done doing those kinds of deals for awhile, but damn, this one is kind of painful. If we had drafted a good player with that 1st rounder in 2019, we'd have cap space AND that guy kicking ass for us. If we drafted a bust with that pick, we'd at least still have the cap space.

And at least OBJ is going to give us a year of cheap play. Clark didn't even get us that.

He generally plays nearly every snap. He appears to be playing hard. It's not like when Houston would take plays off, he goes hard, he just no longer seems effective.

Everyone knew we needed a DE and their solution for that was to move a player from an an already elite position, have him lose weight and hope he transitions well, and also pray a underwhelming draft pick would help.

What really gets me is that Tim Ward had a great camp and looked ready to play and they cut him and kept broke dick Okafor.

Tim Ward looked good against 3rd stringers. He never got elevated so that should tell you and everyone else something.

That is not an apple to apple comparison. Ogbah was playing regularly and was a starter when someone was out. Ward never got that far. We could not afford Ogbah either.

Not true.

In week 17 against the Chargers starters, he looked good.

In the preseason he got a lot of snaps early in games against 1's and 2's. Like against Arizona, for instance.

I think they thought they could sneak him back onto the practice squad but NY nabbed him.

Yeah, they did grab him. He is a backup that is rotational, not a knock, but he is behind Bryce Huff, a UDFA. Ward has gotten 17 snaps in each of the first two games and complied a whopping 1 asst tackle, no hurries, no QB hits. Let us not act like we let another David Irving leave.

Not that surprising he's behind a guy whose been there a year and is within the system, even with a new HC coming in. Also Huff looks fairy decent. They also have Shaq Lawson and Franklin Myers - two good players who should rightly get a lot of snaps.

It's a head scratcher to me that he can get snaps within that group but not ours. We've had 53 from Okafor - do we think they've been more productive?

I don't think there's been enough of Ward on tape to say with confidence he'd have had a big impact. But I think within a few weeks we might be able to say he'd have been a useful rotational player and an upgrade on what we have, even if only marginal.

Ogbah had a season ending injury and had yet to demonstrate a consistent starter quality of play from his time in Cleveland until he got here. For what he signed in Miami and what we knew at the time, it was probably smart to let him walk.

5.5 in 4 starts (10 games overall) isn't consistent starter material? If he played the whole season, there's a very good chance he would have led the league in sacks. And he was pretty good against the run IIRC.

Isn't free agency a little like buying a used car. The seller says that this is the best used car that they have ever had and is willing to part with it for only a first round pick. So, willing to give up a know good player for the chance at another? Sounds like the typical used car deal. If I have a good car, I keep it in good repair, spend money on it and use it.

Oh FFS - I've defended dudes like Sorensen and Reiter. I've argued in favor of extending guys like Ward because he's simply a credible player at a difficult position. When everyone spent 3-4 years shitting on Fisher I called them idiots for it. This very day, in the CEH thread, when you're bagging on Clyde for not being Barry Sanders and being unable to outrun defenses to the pylon, I'm the one pointing out the insanity of those expectations.

I've never for one second devalued the contributions of merely solid players. I think they're invaluable.

Frank Clark isn't a solid player He wasn't a solid player for the majority of his first season, no matter how hard you guys tried to argue otherwise and blamed warm weather while congratulating him for almost making a play.

I have to agree that he is probably somewhere else right now mentally. Physically, he was injured when we bought him and he seems to have injury issues. It seems like a position that's pretty hard on the body.

Regardless of his past success, the NFL stands for Not For Long when you aren't producing.

The fact that he's not available hurts the most. It's like buying a used car that runs great the first year, breaks down and never runs like it did when you bought it again. Plus you still have three years of payments to make.

I really hope that this helps them to see why giving big contracts to defensive players usually ends up being a bad deal for the team in the long run.

Either way, it is what it is. He's not the only reason the defense is looking bad. A lot of people aren't earning their pay out there.

If he can set the edge while Danna provides pass rush we get a little better.

I think the Chiefs are better when Frank Clark plays.

I don't like the contract either, but when he's not out there there is a lack of talent.

He needs to go after this year, but damn we need to get something, anything out of him this season.

When he IS in there he does nothing to demonstrably alter the talent level of the DL.

But you're right in one respect - when he's not out there there is definitely a lack of bodies. We're just too damn thin without him and we're asking more of Danna and Wharton than we have right to ask. Hell, we're asking more of Jones than we can reasonably expect him to provide.

I'm just really confused. I do not understand for one minute how the organization thought they could roll Jones, Clark, Okafor, Danna and Kaindoh out there and call the DE position set.

They knew Clark had injury issues (and that he fucking sucks) and that Okafor hasn't been consistently healthy or productive in his first two seasons on the squad. They knew that Kaindoh is raw as hell and not ready for prime time. They knew that Jones was an experiment and that Danna was a relatively undersized player for an end (who still doesn't really have much in the way of pass-rush technique).

I don't get it. How did they think this was going to go?

I understand that they had limited resources and did the best they could with what they had available, but it seems like the DE position was just an afterthought for them all off-season. That's bizarre as hell to me. I mean if you're not going to address DE, go sign Reddick and Ingram and roll with a {gag} base 3-4.

How could this plan have ever worked?

I agree. When they signed Jarran Reed I think they thought that would allow them to kick Jones out and Reed could be a disruptor in the middle like Chris Jones has been. In reality, they ended up downgrading two positions.

The trade was made when we had Patrick on a rookie deal and needed a push. They didn’t want a rookie out there for a title run.

And yeah I get that Frank has deteriorated but he was acquired to help us win a ring. He was a huge reason why we won too.

So yes the trade was a success even as it stands now.

Get out of it after the season, get your $19.5 million back and work towards the future.

Good point. Maybe they thought they were strong at DT, making it easier on the DE.

We could have TWO decent, solid, above average DE's for what we pay Clark. Which is EXACTLY what we should do in '22. That AND draft one in round 1. Buffalo has the right idea, load up, rotate them and keep them fresh.

There will be. This is an incredibly deep DE draft. And there are a 2-3 genuine top 10 prospects, one of whom will likely fall a bit because that's just how the draft goes.

Obviously I'd prefer pick at 32, but if they're around 18, that's within striking distance of a potential Brian Burns type of player. Now sometimes those guys can be boom/bust and turn into a Rashan Gary instead, but sometimes you've just gotta chance it.

Even someone like Montez Sweat would make an enormous difference on the DL. There WILL be someone like that that the Chiefs will be able to draft. If Veach is the big swinging dick some claim, he needs to get it right.

Last draft season people were saying this should be a massive draft class with kids coming back in the picture from covid opt outs ect. Does that still ring true? If so we may be getting a shit load of UDFA's.

Eh, maybe - maybe not.

Guys that came back for a 5th year probably weren't NFL caliber and still aren't. Guys like Ja'Marr Chase who sat out the whole season but was a genuine superstar prospect still left early.

I think the vast majority of guys who sat out last season but came back this year just weren't draft eligible in 2021. I suspect the back of the 2nd day and most of the 3rd day will be a little deeper than usual. And yeah, there may be more UDFAs that would ordinarily get 3rd day grades than usual, but those are pretty fungible.

I mean it's not like there's a shortage of UDFAs floating around most years anyway.

If this turns out to be a stellar draft class, it won't be 'COVID carryovers' that make it so. It'll just be the vagaries of draft classes/timing.

Here - have my take on the potential 1st round DEs from the draft thread (because I know its super important to all of you...)

Aidan Hutchinson is the one I'm watching most closely, DE out of Michigan, because he might be gettable.

Thibodeaux may well go 1.1 so who cares? Leal may well go top 5 to boot. Jordan Davis is a big ol' mauler of a DT but he's probably never going to be an asset rushing the passer so unless we end up late 1st, I can't see taking him.

George Karlaftis is the other guy who will maybe slide to us. I think he or Hutchinson go top 10 and the other guy slips a bit. Hard to tell yet how that's going to go though.

I like Drake Jackson out of USC but he may not have the length to be a 3-down guy and probably a little light to boot. But as a LEO? He might be a damn nice fit. Man he's explosive. Myjai Sanders has been a little disappointing thus far and didn't play last year due to COVID but was excellent in '19 and could still put together good tape this season. Adam Anderson is a more boom/bust version of Drake Jackson and may just not be a 4-3 guy, but again - the LEO makes things a little different if we choose to go that direction. Anderson could do it.

My present preference is probably:

Hutchinson
Karlaftis
Anderson
Jackson
Sanders

And I'd be more than happy to take any of those guys in the 1st. I suspect one will make it to us or at least be within reasonable trade-up range. If Davis fell I'd be okay with the pick in the back of the 1st. He wouldn't be sexy but man, if Nnadi and Reed are as bad as they've looked, our problems at DT are as big as our problems at DE.

In closing, Frank Clark sucks.

But Breeland Speaks sucked worse.

So lets not do THAT again...

Idk if Clark has the juice to get around 73 and make that stop. I listened to a chiefs podcast today that said Clark was credited with 5 pressures, validating what I said in another thread that some of these guys didn't play as bad as you think. The sky isn't falling people. Once the guys get on the same page, the rest of the league is in trouble. If it doesn't happen, then maybe our guys needed a slice of humble pie..
