If EB is healthy and Thomas is single high, you effectively take away the TE and deep threat.

You can blitz more knowing that the back end is good as well as add another man in the box to stop the run.

At this point I’m really warming up to a 2nd. Maybe even a 2nd + mid round pick.

Extend Jones/Hill and just draft all defense again next year.

Htismage is a good salesmen.

Considering we have two second round picks, and right now they are the odds-on favorites to be the last two in the round, I'd absolutely give one up.

One thing I'm starting to wonder about is how often were wedropping Houston into coverage when Berry was healthy.

Yeah for real. More than likely the pick won't be near as good as Thomas. Tired of listening to some of the local guys acting like we are mortgaging our future to get rid of a couple of picks. With Thomas and hopefully Berry sometime soon in the back field this D becomes a middle of the pack unit and if our D can be middle of the pack we will not lose a game. It would be the equivalent of trading for Zobrist. Except we'd have him a few years.

Trade them a 2nd and Breeland Speaks, the slow fat out of position project that will never be.

They have 3 more years until Mahomes receives the first billion dollar contract...get it while you can.

SB > 2nd round pick. That pick is compensation for leaving a gaping hole in the secondary THIS YEAR...and moving Peters. Thomas will be cheaper than Peters would have been....fix the problem you created, Hunt!

How long have we been thinking and saying that we will build a better defense thru the draft?

Haven't done it yet....I don't have faith that our scouts know what a good defensive player looks like.

Now...an offense....Andy seems to have a handle on that.

Ok I went to sleep. Did we sign Thomas overnight?

suzzer99 09-25-2018 06:07 AM

Yes!

But you're late for all your college finals at once, in your underwear, and you can't find any of the rooms. Now get running!

Yep. To add to that, I'd offer a 2nd round pick b/c we have 2, and we have not done anything with the last 2. At least this way we are getting a sure thing...:shrug:

We traded Mahomes for Thomas.

The big problem with Thomas is the fact he is seeking Berry level type of money. And in case you didnt know, Chiefs have many stars that will need a new contract soon.

Danguardace 09-25-2018 07:25 AM

Suttons defense has been best when there has been talent at Safety. I would burn that second round pick in a heart beat.

RealSNR 09-25-2018 07:27 AM

How can we possibly afford Earl Thomas...

... when we’re on the verge of signing BASHAUD ****ING BREELAND, BITCHES!!!!!!!!

Sassy Squatch 09-25-2018 07:35 AM

Are people not aware of the fact that Dallas already offered a 2nd round pick and were rebuffed? It will take at least a 2nd plus more or a 1st to get him, and that's if Dallas hasn't upped their offer.
