L'Jarius ... if you're reading this, here's a tip; don't refer to your head coach as "Dawg".

Agreeing with Dane shouldn't be something hard to admit he's right more often than not.

Give this guy a year behind Breeland and you could potentially have an upgrade when he walks next year:

I love hunting for guys like this... find CBs with the size/speed/athletic ability and then try to coach them up.

It's the best way to land an elite CB when you're picking outside the top 5/10, other than a trade.

I'm still not pleased with us continually waiting so late in the draft (or not at all) to draft a corner, but at least we added some promising bodies at the position. With expanded rosters this year perhaps we can carry 6 corners on the roster. Between Sneed and Keyes in the draft and Davis and Hill in UDFA I think we added some good competition for the bottom 2-3 roster spots at cornerback, and hopefully we can sneak some of those that don't make the cut on the practice squad. Give them a year to hopefully develop and improve behind Ward/Breeland/Fenton and hopefully 1-2 of them step up to some degree. How much they step up will determine whether corner is a day 1 or a day 2-3 need again next year.

I love the pick. I also love the idea of Thornhill coming back alongside Mathieu. I'm also happy Breeland is back.

I don't think it's hilarious the Chiefs drafted L'Jarius,
I'm seriously pleased the Chiefs had him seized.
Coach Reid saw the need, did the deed, and drafted this speedy Sneed.
He's one more reason the Chiefs dominate this season.

As long as they adequately fill the position, I don't really care how they're acquiring guys.

If there's a guy they think is worth snagging with an early pick? Gobble him up. If there are four-five guys with the athletic profile who just need coaching them can bring in, and are confident they can get 1-2 to be good players, that works, too.

They aren't afraid to be creative and outside the box here, and that's the important part.

What's exciting about Sneed is the athletic profile is that of an elite corner. Same with a few other of these guys. If you aren't in position to just DRAFT an elite guy, you have to try to trade for them, sign them as a FA, or develop them.

If you're trying to develop, have to have the raw clay to start with...

This guy will be the next Albert Lewis, without the faider thing at the end.

What's interesting to me is that Spags specifically wanted this guy. There's something about Sneed that Spags really liked over many of the CBs that were picked earlier. I'm guessing that Sneed has a pretty high football IQ. Spags likes smart guys. Plus, Sneed is a prototypical Spags corner.

damn I keep thinking about the K&P East/West Bowl Game skit, when they make fun of all of those black names, then the last dude's like Jon Smith, punter ROFL

Thornhill, Snead and Honey Badger are going to pick off Carr 25 times trying to throw to Ruggs. It's going to be great.

I see Sneed taking Fenton's defensive snaps. I know a lot of people here like Fenton, but I just don't see the potential. Fenton is sub 6 foot, has 30 inch arms, and ran a 4.5.

While that's not slow, or super short, his whole game says slot nickel corner. But, with Ward, Breeland, Sneed, Thornhill, and HB in the nickel, they can all play the slot, or all play outside, or switch and cover all sorts of ground in zone. BoPete Keyes is also taller, and longer than Fenton.

They are all faster than Fenton, except for HB, but he makes up for that with film study. That group just offers so much versatility, and I think that's exactly why Spags identified them as targets for Veach.
