the texans looked super mid all year and they just traded their LT. Jags are very likely to add a really good player at 5 to their D. titans we know will be bad. colts are in purgatory. I certainly don’t expect the Jags to be a 2-4 win team next year. 5-6 at worst IMO

I was just drawing a distinction between what we saw in our various LTs last year, and what we saw from Moore even if only in spot duty. Our LT play was so horrific that we had to move our star OG into the spot.

It's certainly not a straight up comparison between what we had and Moore, but within the limitations of the comparison we do have, we look to be better.

LMAO

We were so ****ing slow and old on offense last year. We're clearly going to be much better once we draft a RB and get Rashee back. I don't know what Moore's ceiling is but he's an obvious upgrade over the shit we had at LT. Zero doubt.

None of our primary AFC competitors — not Buffalo, Baltimore, LA, or Denver — are returning a player like Rashee Rice. They all were very lucky not to suffer that type of loss. So you absolutely have to factor him into the calculus year over year.

The RB snaps they are losing largely stunk. Hunt was the only decent player and he couldn’t break a single 20-yard run, so even he was not playing in his ideal role at near 30 years old.

Hicks is here to take Reid’s role. I’ll hear you on Wharton and Omenihu, but I think Charles is coming back. And it’s the perfect draft to restock your DL anyhow.

I’m not saying it’s hyperbolic, but the Kansas City arrow is at least pointing somewhat up.

And that should worry the rest of the league.

Patriots still don't have an offensive line. Defensively, they are better, but they lost their center and made no improvements to the LT/LG position.

The biggest risers have to be the Patriots and Raiders. Vrabel is a great defensive coach and they got 5 good players in FA. I’m a bit biased bc I’m a Drake Maye truther, but their defense looks like it could be top 10, especially with Barmore coming back. Like getting Morgan Mosses at RT. Draft will be huge for them. I think they could give the Bills problems.

Raiders went from arguably the worst HC and QB to a proven HC who isn’t a moron and a QB who is probably average. Not saying they are some hype team. They won 4 games and will probably win 6, maybe 7. Fully expect good ole Pete to take Jeanty at 6 to be his new Marshawn bc Pete loves running the football.

On the other end, the biggest losers are without question the Bengals. Basically kept their own average players and ****ed around by holding their best players hostage. Perfect year to trade Higgins and get a high draft pick and they don’t do it despite not being able to pay.

Their GM said he wants to make Chase the highest paid non-QB, which at the time was $36 million. Now that Myles Garrett just destroyed that market it’s $40 million LMAO

The only thing rivaling the Chiefs success is watching that stupid ****ing poverty cocky ass franchise fall apart with a young top 5 QB ever since they called us Burrowhead

Chiefs need Rashee to be a top 10 wr in the league next year and Fau to be a legit de

Get those things and you’re golden

Tyreek days are numbered with the Phins?

Come on home Tyreek!!

On paper we look similar.

As of now pre-draft, if we went into the season like this I would expect our defense to be the strength of the team finishing top 5-7.


The offense I expect to be mediocre and be in the 12-14 overall range.

Luck has a big factor of course. We tend to be healthier going into the playoffs and SB than pretty much every team we've faced. That's what makes losing so disappointing because you don't know if you'll have that same fortune the following year.

Our defense was completely healthy in the playoffs and SB. The offense didn't have Rice, but we made several moves since his injury so it's not like he got hurt in week 18.

Our roster is good enough to win the SB. Just need good luck to keep the key players healthy.

Also, it would help if we can draft two rookies who can contribute meaningfully. It would also help if Wiley or Kingsley have a better sophomore season.

Theoretically, Chiefs are finally getting Brown and Rice at the same time....with Worthy having a year in the system. Unless they get hurt again...that's a major upgrade.

I haven't been paying attention if new threads haven't been started. **** megathreads.

Did Omenihu sign somewhere? Our RBs... did Hunt sign somewhere? Perine? Or are they just hanging out waiting for a phone call?

Who are the snaps we lost at WR? Did Justin Watson go somewhere? He's the only one I can think of. Hopkins signed, but that guy was looking traaaaash

AFC Stock Up / Stock Down, Post-Free Agency
 

I think you have to add Suamataia to that list as well.

Only Perine is signed elsewhere of the names you mentioned, but the question is whether we got better or not. All of those guys are currently not contracted by the Chiefs so I won’t assume they’ll end up back with us.

At this very moment in time, on paper, I don’t believe we can presume to be better. The draft can change a lot but obviously that often just invokes more questions/uncertainties.

Yeah, I think our arrow is always pointing in a general upward direction as long as we’ve got Mahomie and Reid.

I’m not a doomer. I claimed we were clearly worse off immediately after trading Tyreek Hill as well and one nifty little draft completely threw that prediction on its head. We can do the same again. We’ll just need to prove it on the field.
