They can find some guys that can develop faster and be better than ZOmbo I'd think.

Zombo could be easily replaced, I just think the idea they're gonna find a starting OLB in the middle of the draft or in FA that is better or not super ****ing expensive is a bit much.

They're most likely gonna have to go with Ford for another year.

Yeah, I'd imagine they will.

They need to look at guys like Aaron Lynch and such to see what they can do for cheap.

Just like the Parker thing, I do think he could be relatively easily replaced but are they willing to chance that when they've been horrid at drafting DB's?

Also then you run the risk of 2 rookies starting in your secondary.

I'm not against cutting Parker if you can upgrade but he's also a bit undervalued here when he's asked to do what he's good at.

He's a deep safety and isn't going to be a good box type hybrid or tackler.

If EB is back to his normal level, the current safeties are pretty good.

I think we win 6 games next year, but we could win 11. Great year to rebuild and get Mahomes a full season in. The schedule is just ridiculously tough and our defense has a lot of problems.

Well you want what....5 OLBs?

Houston
Ford
KPass
Nicholas

That's 4. I'd bring in 2 more and keep the best 5.

The offense won't regress. It will probably improve. Barring injuries, Hunt should be better. Hill will likely be better in his second year at #1 WR. Kelce is in his prime. Conley will be back. I'm confident that Mahomes will be very good...He made Kevin Kolb and AJ Feeley look like good starting QBs for god sake. He made McNabb a fringe HoF player. He made Vick look like an actual QB until injuries derailed his comeback during his time there. He made Alex Smith into a 3? time probowler in 5 years.

Defense, they will likely improve. Why? Because they can't get much worse to be honest. They have the 28th ranked defense. They will improve in the pass defense alone with Berry back. Their pass rush was non existent with only one way to go and that is up. Ragland was a steal and another year in the system he could end up being a beast for them. They will also have Kass with a full year of development that showed some promise in the last game of the season. They will get players in FA and in the draft.

So no, I don't expect them to regress at all. They will be a better team. Whether or not their record reflects that is up in the air. They schedule now looks more difficult than last year...well their opponents. A lot can change between now and then.

Don’t put stock in “tough schedule” or “easy schedule” stuff. It’s the NFL, just look at the difference in the playoff teams this season compared to last season.

They need to upgrade the spot either way IMO.

**** that. Pussy McBadback needs to hit the road.

Mahomes will Viagra the shit out the Chiefs. "No chance of impotency, we're pounding puss."

And the depth chart at a lot of positions.

No QB behind Mahomes, shitty tight end depth, thin on the OL and allover on Defense.

The NFL cap is rigged - #BlackOp

The NFL is doing it's best to fuck the Chiefs over-

Backup QB is a little scary next year. I really wouldn't be surprised if Bray is back to compete just because he knows the system and they don't have anyone else. I think drafting a QB mid-late would be a good option but they only have 4 draft picks so we will see. A veteran QB would be great depending on who it is.

Sassy Squatch 01-12-2018 05:15 PM

Just go and get Chase Daniel to be the backup.

TigeRRUppeRRcut 01-12-2018 05:44 PM

Eric Berry and Houston are past their prime. Chris Jones (inconsistent), Ragland and MP22 (head case) are not enough to get this to be elite. They need a new anchor on the DL and better hope Tanoh figures out how to play
