Oddly enough he fell off when Clark left the Seahawks. In 2018 Clark and Reed were a monster pairing. Hope they can reestablish that here with Jones fucking shit up as well.

[Kman34]

This is good news...

Love this move.

Let's figure out LT next please.

Jones was pretty good at DE

This is why Veach didn’t panic and go spend the money they opened up for Williams after that fell through....

Sources say deal is not done but in the works. This week, Seattle released Reed, who had 6.5 sacks last year, after talks on an extension didn't materialize.

Be nice if Ingram circled back and signed to bolster the end.

Do they have enough money left to sign Ingram and a veteran LT?

Reed is going to be hungry for another pay day too, and I’m not talking about the candy bar.

Nice signing. On a one year deal he should have something to prove.
Perhaps he will get some of those greedy sacks that Clark is too much a team player to get.

If they can land a guy like Ingram they could legitimately have 4 guys (Clark, Reed, Ingram, Jones) who are capable of double digit sack seasons.

I mean, it probably wouldn't happen, but it would be a bad ass line from right to left.

This is a good move by the FO and should help solidify our D-Line next year. It’s hard to find fault in this move, because Reed is damn good player and it’s never a bad idea to try and improve. I’m glad to see this move prior to the draft.

[In58men]

Was DL a need heading into the draft? With this signing does this give KC some more wiggle room?

When he was released in that original thread I told pugs that there was no way they would sign him because of money. I love to be wrong. This opens up so many things for the defensive line now...

Great move!

Saunders will spell Nnadi at NT. Neither will be on the field in 3rd and long

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Saunders will spell Nnadi at NT. Neither will be on the field in 3rd and long

Has Saunders played much at the 1-tech? I guess he hasn’t played much at all but it seems like it’s generally been at the 3.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I hope you’re right. Otherwise we need to call Pennel.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Saunders should move to OLB

[DaneMcCloud]

I have a hard time believing that the Chiefs would move on from Saunders when he has two years left on his rookie deal while Reed only signed a 1 year deal.

If history is any kind of indicator, the Chiefs need all of the big bodies they can get, especially since we're looking at a 20 game season.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Preparing for that SB rematch. ALL of the pressure coming in Brady’s face. Fuck boy.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Saunders should move to OLB

Of all the dumb shit you post, this is possibly the dumbest....

[chiefzilla1501]

The amount the Chiefs put into both interiors is telling. Veach and Reid believe the game is moving this way. And when you look at the ways Aaron Donald moves around inside outside and how they can use Chris jones now that Reed is in the mix, you can see why.

Yup.

If there’s an odd man out it is Pennel who likely won’t be brought back.

I am fully on board with this. If we can get more pressure with the line it takes pressure off our linebackers. Although I'd really like to upgrade there too.

It is a 1 year deal. It doesn't mean anything when it comes to Saunders being done with the Chiefs. They are upgrading the pass rush however they can, wherever they can. Pennel is likely gone so it is still the same number at IDL.

[The Franchise]

Holy fuck. Was not expecting this at all. They just need to add a DE in the draft and this line is fucking deep.

Jones - Reed - Nnadi - Clark

Not necessarily, but I also imagine Saunders probably won’t be thrilled about the prospect of spending another year on the inactive list which seems likely at this point, unless he can play the nose and backup Nnadi.

[The Franchise]

I wonder if they could move Wharton to DE. He isn’t huge by any means and he has the pass rush skills.

Absolutely.

If we get Okung anyway we draft a pass rusher at 31?

Or WR.

I’m guessing it’s going to be WR, DE and OT in the first three rounds. Not necessarily in that order.

What?

Frank Clark contacted him via his cellular device. Clark,Reed, and Jones will play together at a high level.

Goin stu is slang for going stupid aka all out.

If all things are equal I'd prefer a pass rusher with Clark assuming he plays like he did in the playoffs in 2020, with Reed and Jones you would have 1 of the best rushes in the league with an above average secondary. I think Mahomes, Kelce, Hill and CEH alone is a top 5 offense. Going to be very tough for teams to beat us.

Oh I’m good with a DE in the first, trading up for your OT in the second and then a WR in the third. This WR class is deep so I’m positive we can find one on the second day.

Who is on the Seahawks defensive line? He’ll get more opportunity here and he’s got a better shot at a ring.

If we get Okung anyway we draft a pass rusher at 31?

I hope we don't put that much stock in a guy who has only played in 13 games combined in the last 2 years. He will be 33 a little over a month into the season.

The idea is that Okung allows you to take a guy in the 2nd or even trade up for one.

This T class is very deep.

[royr17]

You get Okung with that interior and you could play me at WR. Mahomes with 4 seconds to throw is game over.

I want them to somehow get Bateman or Marshall. Damn. Key on Hill and Kelce. Hardman goes long and Marshall or Bateman plays the Watkins role. Lord help.

That defense in Seattle is a shit show. In KC where he doesn’t have to be the focal point he has a chance to make some noise.

[Chief Northman]

I like the idea of reuniting Clark with Reed given their past production together. Another guy I would like the Chiefs to reunite with Jarran Reed? Reuben Foster. You would think they could get him for a song. He would have to check out medically, but it looks like his off field issues are behind him and between the injuries and off field drama, Foster showed that he was productive when on the field. He could be a great salvage project for Veach.

Saunders is likely gone but who knows. The guy joking about moving saunders to olb was probably in reference to the last game of the regular season where saunders saw a lot of snaps at olb. Flame away.

Exactly what I was referring to! Saunders was moving too tbh. He’s athletic enough and probably better than Niemann. We do have a hole at OLB 👀 . Hitchens Gay and then who else??

[Titty Meat]

As disappointing as it was, if we can add another guy like Ingram, and hit on a rookie LT, it will be.

This will kill me on here but it was apparently obvious in the Tampa game. I think this offenses evolution will be kinda a mixture of what we saw from 2013-2016 where the 2 or 3 tight end set with more of a run game will be more of a thing think even with those Patriots teams with Gronk and Hernandez. That's where a guy like Brevin Jordan comes into the equation. That's not to say Mahomes wont take his shots downfield but I think this possibly could be the "new" wrinkle in the offense.

[Dull Tools]

If we can get a decent edge rusher like Ingram or we go edge rusher in the first round then our DL is set next year and will be a massive upgrade on last year.

A lot of people have the edge rushers going late in the first round so it would be great if we could get a highly rated guy there like Phillips.

We could then trade up in the second to get a tackle early in the second round.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

What in the fuck?

You realize Saunders would be a coverage player at OLB right? Teams would just abuse him.

[lcarus]

Mahomes meme game is elite.

He just tweets the tiniest thing and all his mouth-breathing haters come like moths to a flame.

The Chiefs sign a backup special teams player and you'll see at least 3 tweets "How much help does Mahomes neeeeeed!?!"

Anyway, back to Jarran Reed discussion. I love the signing.

Brevin Jordan has been my dark horse favorite after best LT available. He's got the potential to be a scary weapon in Andy's offense.

He's a damn fine player.

[Hoover]

This signing also goes a long way in telling fans to calm the fuck down.

There are still going to be good players cut from teams and the Chiefs have the means to acquire some if they so choose. This is a great move for a number of reasons, but it also shows you how the NFL is more of a game of 3D chess, than it is checkers. Yeah we have holes to fill, but signing Reed allows us to utilize existing talent differently is some situations.

For one thing, it allows them to use Jones at DE, which offers more flexibility in acquiring another DE.

Be nice if Ingram circled back and signed to bolster the end.

Do they have enough money left to sign Ingram and a veteran LT?

Probably not.

Maybe if they do 2 year deals with lower 2021 cap hits.

With Ingram and Okung, you have guys with extensive injury histories. They can easily afford both on 1-year deals.

They still could. Doesn't mean they will.

[The Franchise]

Thinking about it more this morning and I can see them going OT, TE and WR in the first three rounds. If they’re going to move Jones around the defensive line now, you can grab a DE in the 4th round range and put together a pass rush just based on depth alone.

Get a guy like Eichenberg or Cosmi in the first, Brevin Jordan in the 2nd (or Tremble in the 3rd) and a WR in the opposite round. That helps the offense a ton and the defense is still good with a DE, CB and dime LB in the later rounds.

[Chargem]

There's probably scope for 2 more vets? Think I would rather have Reiter/Okung than a DE now.

[htismaqe]

He would have to be ok with very light guarantees.

For the money, I'd rather have Houston anyway. Ingram's injury history is worrisome. The last thing we need is him and Taco fighting over a table in the training room.

[htismaqe]

Same here.

[O.city]

I'd guess they do Reiter then a few small depth FA's then just teh draft.

[smithandrew051]

There's probably scope for 2 more vets? Think I would rather have Reiter/Okung than a DE now.

I will agree with this.

If we make those two moves, then we’re in pretty good shape.

We can draft DE, WR, future OT without being forced to reach for a position of need.

[Toad]

I'd guess they do Reiter then a few small depth FA's then just teh draft.

Yep. OC seems to be the biggest gap right now. Right behind that should be the contingency LT plan (so Andy won’t have to start a rookie/unknown).

[UChieffyBugger]

As far as defensive ends are concerned surely they sign a vet?? Right now all we got is Clark and practice squad guys. Even if you want to put Jones out there a few times you can't leave yourself with one preven vet, A rookie and Jones..you just can't. Especially when Clark can often miss a game or two.

Clowney, Houston, Kerrigan, Aldon Smith and Ingram are all out there...get one, draft a rookie and we have the best DL in the game imo.

Edit: we got Taco too but again he has injury issues too.

[golfindude]

Put together a dominant defense, run the ball more behind a better OL. Is that the plan ?

[O.city]

I'd really like to have HOuston back, but I'm guessing that bridge is burned.

[Gary Cooper]

Put together a dominant defense, run the ball more behind a better OL. Is that the plan ?

If they don't add anything significant at WR, it's probably a good idea. They lost Watkins and no telling how Hardman will develop. Robinson will never be a good #2 WR. There's still the draft of course and free agency isn't over.

Not sure about "dominant defense". Middle of the pack is all we need if the offense plays like it's supposed to. The LB position is still weak and the pass rush was inconsistent last year.

[kcclone]

Put together a dominant defense, run the ball more behind a better OL. Is that the plan ?

I'm fine with this. Protects Mahomes better (think longer career.... worked for Brady).

If they go this route, I would prioritize a TE2 over adding another big name WR.

[tmax63]

In the grand scheme of things TE2 sucks worse than WR2 at this point. Picking up a complement to TK than can block well helps both the receiving corps and helping a rookie LT block on ocasion.

[BigCatDaddy]

Andy Reid will never run the ball more especially with PM2 behind center.

I think adding a second TE and a replacement for Watkins doesn’t mean that you change the offense. It allows you to do more of what you do now. Add guys who can tear up the intermediate parts of the field and still help underneath in shallow routes.

Most definitely. We just need better push in the run game from our improved offensive line.

[Gary Cooper]

I don’t think he has to. We can continue to run it like we do but it will be more successful behind a better offensive line.

Especially in the red zone. This team runs too many gimmick plays near the goal line because they simply can't punch it in traditionally. Kelce gets mugged and Hill's speed is irrelevant in the passing game when there's no space behind the defense. Also, we don't have any receiver to run fade routes with.

The easiest way to score in the red zone is to run the ball. Hopefully, the new OL will make that more possible.

[Chris Meck]

We need to be more of a threat to run the ball. If a defense has to play KC honest, they're in real trouble.

I don't think we're suddenly going to play Martyball or anything, but if we CAN run the ball and are a threat to do so, we'll see something more like the 2018 offense, which was the last time we actually COULD run the ball consistently.

[Whosurdaddy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5SJJHhsdUQ

I think the Tremble guy is better in the passing game than people think. He's a monster for outside runs though. Could be a awesome mid round pick that could change some things for us.

[RunKC]

Or WR.

I’m guessing it’s going to be WR, DE and OT in the first three rounds. Not necessarily in that order.

Corner is full of riches in this draft. Dane Brugler just tweeted that he has 11 graded as top 62 picks.

I think they may take one based on principle, especially that Memphis kid that House coached. Then take one in the 4th that has traits and wait out Ingram.

Gonna be really damn interesting to see

[In58men]

I really want OT in the 1st round. I know it’s not sexy, but if we can give Mahomes a couple more seconds and CEH some help, we could do anything.

Go after Terrace Marshall Jr in the 2nd or Tylan Wallace. I also think we can land quality OT in the 2nd and go WR in round 1.

[Titty Meat]

The Chiefs have had one of the best offenses in the league the last 3 years (2018 was one of the best in NFL history) and people want them to change the approach?

Their approach will be changed by other teams whether you like it or not that's the reality. Teams are going to continue to play guys 15-20 yards from the LOS in order to not get beat deep.

[Toad]

Chiefs don’t need to make drastic changes to run vs pass play count. In fact, Andy has always been inclined to pass more.

However, they do need to evolve and adapt. Someone mentioned red zone offense. Chiefs were middle of the pack (ranked 16th) in red zone touchdowns. A better run game will definitely help improve that.

[O.city]

Improve the OL where the QB isn't running for his life and all the problems are fixed.

[Chief Northman]

I think everybody gets carried away about the House connection to Jaman Davis. I have no clue why this guy is getting hyped like he is - I watch film on him, and I just don’t see it.

His film suggests he should be no more than a third or fourth fourth round player at best.

[Sassy Squatch]

I'm with you. Nothing but a bunch of below average stopgaps left now at the position. Signing any of them wouldn't really move the needle since we're still drafting a LT high, most likely in the first.

[htismaqe]

They're not trading up into the top 7-8 for a tackle. That's what it would take to get Sewell.

The gap between Slater/Darrisaw and Cosmi/Eichenberg isn't worth it.

You're just throwing away resources.

[htismaqe]

I'm with you. Nothing but a bunch of below average stopgaps left now at the position. Signing any of them wouldn't really move the needle since we're still drafting a LT high, most likely in the first.

Even if they trade up in the 1st, there's no guarantee the guy can or will start day 1.

Signing a stop gap gives them options with little to no additional cost. There's no reason NOT to do it, especially if you're dead set on drafting a LT high.

[DaneMcCloud]

How does signing a vet matter in that regard?

Because the NFLPA is pushing for a "Virtual Offseason" again this year.

Do you really want a rookie LT starting in Week 1 just a few weeks after joining the team and limited practice time?

I'd imagine one of those two LT's woudl cost 8 million or so.

If you're trading up for a LT, he's your LT day one. IF he can't be that, don't trade up for him

Well, yeah, but your point was signing a veteran LT gives them a better chance at getting the right LT in the draft. I fail to see how they correlate at all. Veach and Reid probably already have their draftboard set and signing a stopgap won't change that.

[htismaqe]

I'd imagine one of those two LT's woudl cost 8 million or so.

Russell Okung is NOT getting $8M AAV. You're way off.

What if the Chiefs don't believe ANY of them can start day one? I guess we shouldn't draft a LT at all then, right? If that's your criteria for a good pick, you're locking yourself into failing the draft. That's not the way good teams approach it, sorry.

[O.city]

Because the NFLPA is pushing for a "Virtual Offseason" again this year.

Do you really want a rookie LT starting in Week 1 just a few weeks after joining the team and limited practice time?

Ok, then are we not gonna count on any draft pick to start? What if we take a WR or a DE?

Because a guy like Eichenberg can start Day 1 but may never be an elite LT.

Whereas a guy like Cosmi might need a year to develop but could be an all pro for 8+ years.

It isn't just about next year. Not with a first round draft pick.

Don't trade up for a guy that isn't ready to step in and start.

If none of them can start, don't take one. I'd be pretty skeptical that's the case though.

Good teams aren't good without a LT either. So something needs to give there.

How often do rookies start for Andy Reid? Chances are ANYBODY they take is going to be a rotational player to start.

They wouldn't be without a LT if they sign one. That's the whole freaking point.

[Chargem]

Any plan that will reduce the amount of times the ball is in Mahomes hand should be scrapped. Why in the world would we want to do that?

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but the Chiefs just need to increase their percentage of 2 tight end sets, but not decrease their passing percentage.

I would be amazed if defenses still played 2 deep shells against that kind of formation.

Like I said, they've probably already got a decent idea of who they're targeting and signing/not signing a stopgap won't change much if anything on that front.

If thats the case, you can protect him that first year like they did Fisher.

Either way, if they take a LT in the first this year, he'll be your starter at LT in Sep.

Like I said, they've probably already got a decent idea of who they're targeting and signing/not signing a stopgap won't change much if anything on that front.

They've met with exactly zero draft-eligible tackles. Their draft board most certainly is not set.

Eric Fisher played RIGHT tackle his rookie year. Once again, you're off.

[O.city]

There's an obvious reason the guys available right now at LT aren't signed.

Hell, I'd put whats his face we traded for from Houston at LT before I'd waste any money on any of the vets left out there.

[htismaqe]

My apologies. They met with Teven Jenkins, a guy you're all convinced is a right tackle.

So much for that.

Yes, and they protected him with alot of chips and TE's and such. I said nothing about which tackle spot he started at.

Andy's first round picks have started that first year here the majority of the time (Mahomes seemingly being the obvious outlier).

[htismaqe]

You flat out said if they draft a tackle in the first he has to start at LEFT tackle.

You cited Eric Fisher, who didn't even play left tackle.

You're contradicting yourself with every post.

Rankin?

ROFL

He's probably about as good as Villanueva at this point. Okung is better, but he'd be hurt after a game or two anyway.

[Sassy Squatch]

Where did I say it was set? I said they probably have at least an idea of who they want, and if anything the visits we schedule will make it clear who those prospects are.

If they draft a tackle in the first yes, he needs to play LT because they don't currently have a LT. They have a RT.

In Fishers case he was drafted to be the LT but they had a LT already and didn't have a RT.

So no, I'm not.

Whats it matter either way? THey can give help to the LT in the same regard if needed.

They've met with Jenkins. O thinks he's a right tackle.

The Chiefs must be clueless.

I'm done talking about it.

There's only one way for them to do this according to you. You're not being reasonable or rational, just stubborn.

[Hoover]

I don't know, drafting at 31, I'd say its doubtful anyone we draft at that spot will be a day one starter.

I mean look how hard it is for WRs to learn Reid's offense....
Will a rookie DE really start on day one with Jones playing more on the end and over Taco and the rest of the crew.

Just take that best damn playmaker available at 31, and for the love of god stop acting like we have to trade up and blow up the rest of our draft to get a tackle.
