Weak-Side DE- Ford
3- Tech DT- Jones 1- Tech DT- Nnadi Strong-Side DE- Speaks SAM LB- Houston MLB- Hitchens WILL- DoD |
Ford’s complete inadequacy against the run makes him a “hell no” for me at RE in this offense.
I can Houston at that spot, I can see using Houston as the SAM backer in base and as an end in your pass down sets. But I just can’t see using Ford as your base E. Can’t see how you improve the run D enough in that situation. For me, it’s still tag and trade him for what you can, then spend the money on a cheaper DE replacement or secondary help, prioritizing the draft with the other selection. As for LB, there are a lot of flexible guys who could seem to project to 43 MLB or WLB. I like the Pratt kid from NC State as well (someone mentioned him earlier in thread, I think). Seems like the Chiefs can get a player like that with one of their seconds, which would give them nice insurance if Hitchens or O’Danial is inadequate. |

For the tag and trade Ford crowd. You can only trade him if he signs the tag he holds all the cards here not the chiefs.

Understandable. But you make the franchise tag offer and he either takes it or doesn’t. If he doesn’t, you get comp picks if he signs with another team. He’s going to get a lot more salary from the team you trade him to if he signs that tag and is then traded than if that team has to give up two firsts to sign him off the non exclusive tag. He has some power, for sure, but it’s in his best interest to sign the tag. |

And he knows once released he can cash in. I tried telling people this, but Nooooo. Other teams will wait for release |

Then he’d sign it |
