Taylor: 53-man roster projection: Ronald Jones returns, eight rookies earn spots (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=344978)

With Bell being out for awhile Bills released TE OJ Howard.

Veach loves former 1st round picks.

The #Chiefs are releasing WR Josh Gordon, per @TomPelissero. #ChiefsKingdom*

So much hand-wringing over a nobody player.

Regardless of whether or not he makes the team, why do people care? Kinnard is a nobody player.

This from the 2019 season:

Quote:

Best pass-blocking tight end: O.J. Howard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bucs coach Bruce Arians never relied on Howard all that much as a receiver this season. But the young tight end did play a role in the passing game with a 98% PBWR.

Exactly.

Plus, there was a lot of chaff right here on CP about whether Karlaftis was really going to make it/was even worthy of a first-round pick. Though at 30(think he went at 30?), that's basically a high 2nd rounder, imo. Shit like, 'not bendy enough,' or 'he only got 4 sacks last year,' or whatever. As I recall I made the suggestion on draft day that he could work on his 'bend,' but look at how he played the game, which is to say he could read and react at a very high level, and he was used to playing from different spots, not just DE. In short, he's a very cerebral player, not just a really strong bull-rusher.

And early on McDuffie got some crap here as well, as I recall. Something about not being fast enough. Oh, and his arms were too short, lol.

It's all good though. I've been playing the Devil's advocate and/or soft troll since mid-season last year, and i'll probably keep it up this year, so I expect to get some shit this season.:thumb:

draftniks were down on Creed for the arm length, too. No reason to pay attention to any of them.

I like Prince but imo there's no point in keeping him and Christian as they are effectively the same level of player. Kinnard showed improvement in the packers game and that 4 year cost controlled contract has to count for something. How many tackles do we have under contract for more than one year? Only Kinnard? That has to be a factor too.

It was worth a shot (and a measly 5th round pick) to try Kinnard at OT. It didn't work. He's not a tackle in the NFL. He's just not.

Chiefs have released veteran defensive tackle Danny Shelton, per source.

That is right, sorry. Once a player makes it through waivers any team can put him on their PS.

Now that's interesting. Must mean they intend to keep Stallworth.

Per Herbie Teope

The Chiefs are in the process of trimming the roster and one player won't be among the cuts.

RB Ronald Jones made the initial 53-player roster, according to a source.

I'm told Jones played his way on the roster in the last preseason game.

Makes sense to keep him I think.

Even prior to the last preseason game I thought it would be a tough cut considering the injuries and style of runners CEH and McKinnon are. We need that RB that can run downhill and not have as many injury concerns for the playbook.
