Chiefs Sign Sean Smith (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=271138)

I am hoping for a trade down and a second round pick being involved and getting Arthur Brown.. Would love an ILB who can cover

If we could trade down a time or even into the early teens again, acquiring some picks, I'd love to take Arthur Brown.

Brad Jones is better.

Walterfootball's take on this acquisition:
Chiefs sign CB Sean Smith (3 years, $18M; $11M guaranteed): B- Grade
The Chiefs have overpaid once again. Sean Smith is a solid No. 2 cornerback. He is not a No. 1 as Kansas City seems to think. There's no way he deserves $6 million per year and $11 million guaranteed. I understand that the Chiefs wanted to add a corner to contend with the Broncos and all of their receivers, but that doesn't mean they should throw tons of money at the first defensive back willing to sign with them.

Then again, this is from the guy who assigned a C+ and D grade to the re-signings of Bowe and Colquitt, respectively, and who has previously graded LeRon McClain and Kelly Gregg as "A"s. So take it with a giant grain of salt. Like, the biggest grain of salt ever manufactured.

Screw that guy, if Al Harris successfully lobbied for him, thats pretty much good enough for me.

They're nearly identical players and good friends... Al/Emmit will know exactly how to coach him up.

And you cant coach that size, a 6'3 215 corner is MONSTERISH and RARE, he's the perfect foil for a guy like Demaryus Thomas and the other huge receivers out there.

Brad Jones, isn't better than what Arthur Brown could be.

Yes but Reid is in the win now mode. And as of right now Brad Jones is better than Arthur Brown.

No, I don't think so.

Well its just my opinion but I have to disagree. We need a ILB who can cover and Brad Jones is it.

Brown was a great cover ILB in college, who's got lead in his pencil and produced at a high level. He was a damn all American, IIRC.

Cut Studebaker and sign Osi or Seymour with that same contract.

Osi won't play in a 3-4, Seymour's near done.

We need a pass rushing DL to put with DeVito and platoon. If Seymour came cheap and could stay healthy, he'd be worth it.

he'd be worth it in 2008

The pass rushing market is barren in free agency money wise. I'd venture to say that neither of those guys get too awful much.

LOVE the signing.

About 55% of the passes thrown his way in 2012 were completed.
He surrendered 6 TD's.
Not as physical as you'd expect a guy his size to be in run support.
Not a ballhawker (though he has good hands).
Great combo of size/speed. Can struggle with smaller, speedy WR's.

Dorsey kicked ass and took names with that contract though.
And we're getting Smith in his prime. He'll be 26 when the year starts.

He has terrible hands. He drops INTs like he got a performance bonus for it.
