Meh. Roster depth.

If this was somehow a package deal that brought SR back to CP…. Nandi would be my new favorite adopt-a-Chief. Wishing the very best for you SR, wherever you are! (And success to you Nandi, on every snap you play for the finest team in the National Football League: the Kansas City Chiefs!) Hugs all around!

Yeah, I'm not saying the guy is good, but he is an experienced body at a position where we have nobody under contract. I'm sure the deal is basically league minimum. There really aren't 53 NFL caliber players for every NFL team to have on their roster, especially at certain positions, so you're always going to have guys like Nnadi lingering in the league.

We always have players who suck who stick around here seemingly longer than they should and we still just keep winning Super Bowls. No complaints from me anymore regarding who they decide to keep and let go. I would assume they are targeting IDL early and Nnadi will play sparingly if all goes as planned

If he's playing as much as he did last year, yeah, that's not good at all.

Fills another need, nice move.

Chiefs give Nnadi to Nnadi
CP does not give Nnadi to Nnadi

They could get a guy off the street to do what he does. If he gets any snaps at all, it's a shame. He's terrible.

Where the issue lies is do you really want a NT in the 1st?

I mean I dig Mazi Smith but I dunno about him that high even though I think the Cowboys could take him at 26.

The Cowboys are a real weird wildcard in this draft the players they're linked to seem to be. Mazi Smith, Darnell Washington and Adebawore is linked a lot to them.

Nnot a very nnice signing, but it is what it is. Perhaps there was nno market for him and Veach got him for cheap. Here’s hoping that nnext year he is better with another year under Cullen.

You don't think someone like Coburn couldn't be had in the 3rd? Keanu Benton?

I think there are a LOT of 3rd/4th round DTs in this draft, actually. Even quite a few with inside/outside potential. Jerrod Clark, DJ Dale, Jacob Slade, Cam Young, PJ Mustipher, Broderic Martin; presumably a few more...

And no, not all of them will slide that far, but some will. And maybe some guys we don't expect to fall into the 3rd like Karl Brooks or Jaquelin Roy. I think Brooks is a GREAT fit and since he didn't get invited to the combine could easily stay under the radar and slide to us in the 3rd and potentially even the 4th.

Nah - we can easily find a nice player in the middle rounds, IMO. There's decent depth at IDL in this draft, IMO. Not amazing, but solid.

I don't think Benton is really a run stuffing nose he has some get off to him.

And if they find one they like and draft him....I don't really see Nnadi having a spot on the roster coming out of camp.

I don't see any desperate need for a 'run stuffing nose'. They're overrated as a concept. And Nnadi didn't 'stuff' a damn thing at the nose last year.

Run defense is a team concept. And with 3 versatile LBs, two of whom are excellent in space, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see us spend more time in base defenses and firm up the run defense in early game/early down situations. Especially against teams that are less dangerous out wide.

The experience of the young CBs will reduce the need to sell out as much in coverage.

I'd take someone like Benton 10 times out of 10 over a 'run stuffing nose' as they just don't move the needle all that much.

I think people get enamored with Mazi because he's so big and strong and moves well so he's more "classic"
