Although Flowers has mediocre top-end speed (i.e. over 40yrds), he has ELITE short area quickness and change of direction which are ideal for a slot corner.

nfl combine 10yrd dash: 1.47s
pro-day 20yrd shuttle: 4.08s
pro-day 3-cone drill: 6.72s

for comparison
Jamaal Charles is 1.46, 4.22, 6.80 respectively
Kniles davis: 1.49, 4.38, 6.96
patrick peterson: 1.49, 4.07, 6.58
Darrell Revis: 1.46, 4.08, 6.56
Richard Sherman: 1.58, 4.29, 6.72

Flowers is very physical cb which prevents most receivers from blowing past him (which helps limit his limitations going deep), he also is aggressive against the run, and is instinctive in defending against passes which allows him to play bigger than his size.

And that is why you are not a GM.

Just take a look at the chiefs history of 2nd round picks chosen with multiple GMs and multiple head coaches. most are busts.

its a passing league, and its important to have more than 2 good corners. By the way, what management experience do you have?

Nope. And honestly I don't understand why this is even a question. The way to build your team is through the draft. Why the Chiefs seem to think that trading or not signing our good players away is a good idea, I will never understand. Tong G., Jared Allen and Brandon Carr should have never been allowed to leave.

Uh...

Jared Allen became Branden Albert and Jamaal Charles.

Trading players for picks is a ways of building through the draft.

That said, Flowers is only 27. Why trade him for a second round pick we'd have to use on a slot corner? It makes no sense.

I'd rather Eric Fisher for a bag of hog jizz.

No one will ever remember Trezelle Jenkins after this pick...

Trading for Axl Smith/Trading Flowers away:

Which idea is the dumbest this season? You make the call.

"This week on 'Inside The NFL' with Len Dawson and Nick Boner****ti:

"The Greatest Herp-a-Derp ever performed with a 1.1 pick"!

Suggesting trading Flowers should be equal to asking to have yer' scrote kicked before every home game at the gate...

This. One for each ball.

Release Flowers and then we're one injury away from suck.

I don't think so !

No. As long as Peyton and other elite qbs are in the league with passer friendly rules you need 3 to 4 good cbs.

Quit thinking about ole nfl mindsets. To beat the elites you have to use man press and get after the cb. If not they will just disect defenses.

Link.
The last I heard was that they had not but if Atlanta called they would listen. That is not us TRYING to get Gonzo back.

Thread has no poll because then the stupid would be that obvious...

boo this man

If Axl ever goes on IR, you better pray that Danielle is about two plays behind him...

I doubt he ever plays a game...
