How Frank Clark trade affects 2019 NFL Draft: Options for the Seahawks in Round 1, Chiefs in Round 2
By Chris Trapasso Apr 23, 2019 at 2:51 pm ET The Chiefs have the replacement for Dee Ford on the edge of their defensive line in Frank Clark, and the trade has sizable ramifications on the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Here are the details of the trade: Chiefs get: DE Frank Clark, Seahawks' 2019 third-round pick Seahawks get: Chiefs' 2019 first-round pick, Chiefs' 2019 third-round pick, Chiefs' 2020 second-round pick While Clark had emerged as the best pass rusher in Seattle's post Legion of Boom era, the soon-to-be-26-year-old hadn't come to a long-term agreement with Seahawks management and had been designated the team's franchise player. As a win-now, playoff-caliber club, draft picks may seem a little more insignificant for Seattle than other teams. But the reality is every team, every year needs to infuse cheap youth into its roster. And before this trade, Pete Carroll's team had just four picks in the 2019 draft, with one selection in the first round, third round, fourth round, and fifth round. This is now what the Seahawks look like in terms of draft capital on Day 1 and Day 2 this year: Round 1: No. 21 overall Round 1: No. 29 overall (acquired in Clark trade) Round 3: No. 92 overall And the Chiefs: Round 2: No. 61 overall Round 2: No. 63 overall Round 3: No. 84 overall Let's assess some options for both clubs with their opening picks in this draft. Seahawks' Round 1 options Suddenly armed with two first-round picks, Seattle is in an awesome situation. Of course, a replacement for Clark would be logical, and prospects like Clemson's Clelin Ferrell, Mississippi State's Montez Sweat, and Florida State's Brian Burns are reasonable options at No. 21 overall. No, all of them probably won't be available, but any would represent solid value at a clear position of need. If they decide to wait until No. 29 to address the edge-rusher spot, Michigan's draft riser Chase Winovich would firmly be in play, and his athletic profile looks similar to many of the prospects Seattle has acquired at the outside pass-rusher spot during the Carroll/John Schneider era. Receiver has always been on the radar for the Seahawks, and now they have the luxury of being patient with that spot if they so desire. If D.K. Metcalf somehow fell to No. 21, they'd have to consider him given Russell Wilson's downfield-passing specialty. Stanford's J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Arizona State's N'Keal Harry, or Iowa State's Hakeem Butler could be in play at No. 29. Other possible positions and prospects on the table now in Round 1: Virginia safety Juan Thornhill, Maryland safety Darnell Savage (both very athletic options to help to replace Earl Thomas) Oklahoma guard/tackle Cody Ford (run-blocking prowess) Vanderbilt cornerback Joejuan Williams, Kentucky cornerback Lonnie Johnson (tall, long, athletic defensive backs) Chiefs' Round 2 options Of course, the Chiefs are now viewing their 2019 first-round pick as Clark, and they paid a hefty price to acquire him, especially relative to sole 2020 second-rounder they got from the 49ers in the Dee Ford trade. Important note on the player-to-player comparison for what it's worth: Clark is two years younger than Ford and likely a better scheme fit in Kansas City. And his presence eliminates the chances Kansas City goes edge rusher with either of their second-round selections in this draft. The interior of the offensive line -- after losing Mitch Morse in free agency -- would be logical, given the small sample size from his replacement Austin Reiter and the inconsistent play from penciled in starter at left guard Cam Erving. Kansas State's Dalton Risner, who played right tackle in college but could thrive anywhere up front, would be a tremendous get in Round 2. So would Boston College's Chris Lindstrom. Penn State's Connor McGovern is flying up draft boards, checks the athleticism boxes for most teams, and has experience -- and solid play -- at multiple positions on the line. That trio should be in play at No. 61 and/or No. 63. I'll throw in two other names: Oklahoma's super-experienced guard Dru Samia and Charlotte's compact blocker Nate Davis. If the Chiefs want to add to their secondary -- even after signing Tyrann Mathieu -- Notre Dame's disruptive cornerback Julian Love could be available late in Round 2. Staying at corner, Central Michigan's Sean Bunting shot up draft boards after a big combine. He'd make sense. Florida's Chauncey Gardner-Johnson would give the Chiefs two slot matchup safeties, and CGJ has impressive range from center field. If Alabama's springy safety Deionte Thompson were to be available when the Chiefs go on the clock in the second round, he'd be a smart pick too. Lastly, Kansas City could look to address the long-term viability of the receiver group, especially given the uncertain future of superstar Tyreek Hill. And two Ohio State pass catchers would be awesome fits for Andy Reid's YAC-predicated offenses as well as Patrick Mahomes' aggressiveness downfield: speedsters Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell. Notre Dame's freaky, big-bodied wideout Miles Boykin should be on the radar too. |

Matt Miller says that Clark would be the #1 pass rusher in this draft class if he entered it today. He also paralleled what I mentioned earlier about how the alternative of trading up into the top 15 and having to use your 2nd(s) this year was not a better option for the team right now. |

I gotta say - I know it's all about having Mahomes - but this offseason and going into the season is by far the most I've ever been stoked about the Chiefs. I usually barely pay attention to the draft, OTAs or pre-season. This year I'm riveted to every drop of news that comes out.

Alright I’d say it’s been talked about before but apparently Clark played half of 2018 with torn UCLs in BOTH elbows?... he claims he was playing at 60%.
Well, I’ve been watching games of his from 2018 and 2017 on gamepass, and I think he’s being honest. It’s not that he was bad in 2018 at all, far from it. But there’s a visible difference in his play strength at the point of attack and overall aggressiveness. Does anyone know if he had them repaired yet? I would think so but can’t find anything on it. |

I wonder if Peters is still here if Sutton weren't retained last year.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndica...sweat.amp.html Still, when the 6'6", 260-pound Sweat ran a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash at the combine, it was stunning. "When he did that, everyone was like, 'Oh, wow,'" an AFC scouting director says. He also acknowledges Sweat moved up on teams' boards after his 40. The NFC player personnel director says he was expecting a 40 time in the low 4.5s from Sweat. Baker, who knows Sweat the athlete as well as anyone, anticipated a sub-4.5. But no one saw 4.41 coming. The vice president says he thought Sweat would run a 4.65 or so. He also says Sweat plays fast—but not as fast as his 40 time because he takes long strides. An AFC general manager says Sweat's speed is evident in how he closes on the quarterback. "He's a good pass-rusher with a long body, and he's athletic and [a] good bender," he says. For a pass-rusher, the 10-yard split time—from the first 10 yards of the 40-yard dash—sometimes is considered more revealing than the 40-yard dash time because it is an indicator of initial burst. Sweat's 10-yard split was a 1.55, which is excellent, and the best of the elite edge-rushers at the combine. For comparison, Von Miller's 10-yard split time was 1.53, Khalil Mack's 1.54 and Jadeveon Clowey's 1.56. After the combine, the headline—and most of the talk—understandably focused on Sweat's speed, but the combine revealed much more about him physically. The vice president was taken aback by Sweat's "long arms and big-ass hands." His arms measured 35¾", and his hands measured 10½". Sweat also impressed in the three-cone drill, which gauges short-area quickness. His time of 7.0 seconds was faster than the times of many wide receivers, defensive backs and running backs. It also was faster than the times of the other top pass-rushers who participated in the drill at the combine: Ohio State's Nick Bosa (7.10), Kentucky's Josh Allen (7.15), Michigan's Rashan Gary (7.26) and Clemson's Clelin Ferrell (7.26). |
Who gives a shit about Sweat on May 30th
|
If Sweat becomes half as good as Clark people will call it a great pick...
|
You sumbitches really jerk to that 3 cone WAY too damn much

It'll definitely be interesting to see how Sweat does in the NFL. Him lasting to 26 certainly put him in reach for a trade up if we still had our pick. But, I'm hoping that Clark makes such an impact, that we are thrilled with the trade. Time will tell.

AHEM WHAT ****ING FREE AGENT DO YOU WANT FOR THIS YEAR THAT THE CHIEFS CANNOT ALREADY AFFORD? |
Clark is one of the NFL’s best pass rushers right now. I think folks hope that Sweat could someday be near that conversation.
Of course, people thought Aaron curry would ascend to that level based on his measurables. |

People need to realize what this team is. They're a Superbowl contender now. Stop thinking like this is the same Chiefs we've been watching the last 20 years.
If this is 2009, then sure, you take a flyer on a rookie and buy a JAG veteran to fill a hole for a couple years. But that's not what the Chiefs are any more. Clark is 26 during the season. He's less than 3 years older than Sweat, there's no need to wait on him to develop and he's still ascending. That's exactly what this team needed at the point they are. |
