Soren Petro, who I usually agree with, was flat out wrong about Earl Thomas.
In no way is a second round pick more valuable than Earl Thomas. First, let's say you draft his equivalent. How long does it take him to get to that level. Second, the Chiefs are dogshit at drafting second round picks.
The window for the Super Bowl got sped the hell up when Mahomes blew up. It's currently "NOW" and for the next three years. Earl Thomas will be good for three years and a contract for him absolutely makes sense.
He's like "you'll regret it when it comes time to sign some of these young players."
Uh, no we won't, Soren. Not if we win a Super Bowl first.
