Especially if we do get Law. This place will look like NO, people burning cars, celebrating. He is the key to us winning a SB, or so folks think.

This is the reason the Chief's next season is in such question, at least for me. The Chief's organization has said, Herm included, that they are not going to be active in free agency, that they would rather re-load positions with youth (draft or within). That's fine. But, they have also said they will be keeping high priced vetrans as well.??? Are they possibly thinking that they can just insert back-ups or draftees into position's of need and still make a run?? Anyone's thoughts.....?

I think they feel that if Sims hadn't essentially lost the season to injury, he would have made a difference.

With that in mind, and the feeling that this is a deep draft, with a former scout, and defensive mind at HC, they can improve the D with a heathy Sims, a couple of good picks, and more involved HC on the defensive side.

I can accept that as a good strategy.! The Chief's were able to infuse youth, and lot's of speed, into the defense in 1997 and it worked well. They replaced 4 players on defense with second year players. What they lacked in experience, they made up for in speed and aggressiveness. 97' was a good year for the defense. Question is, can they duplicate something like that? Hopefully so....

We are still missing a corner regardless of whether you guys think that they will stick to what they have now. Washington is a decent #2 but NOT a #1. Plus we still need to unload Woods and Bartee.

Yes, corner is important. However, I don't think the best corner tandem in the league could fare well with the amount of time our front seven has been giving opposing QB's. Their needs to be more pressure up front for the secondary to be successfull...

Washington is also a free agent, and I'll bet money we don't re-sign him.

:bravo:

Maybe Herm will finally do what this team has needed for so long -- build the team through the draft.

Yep, you are correct.

Who here thinks that?

You mean like last year when they were active in FA or are you referring to 2003?

Theres several...

First, Jason Whitlock and...ummm...ahhh....well....Theres...ok, there's a couple--Jason counts as two, yes?

I say , I say , We're doomed ...... doomed I tell ya.
