[Chief Northman]

I like a lot of the legwork here crow.

The numbers have to make sense obviously, but I do think there are some guys that the Chiefs will just not let go because of how they value them...

Just spitballing here:

- Chiefs release Erving, Reiter, LDT and Colquitt saving just under $14 million on the cap (but accruing around $6.4 million in dead money.

- I’ll echo your take on Jones and Watkins: tagged and traded for a 1st and 3rd, while Watkins gets extended to create a bit of cap relief.

- ERFA contract for Wylie. Kemp, Wells and Yelder walk.
- Chiefs FA’s re-signed: Lucas, Sherman, Wis, Bell, Pennel, Moore, Reaser (all 1 year deals)
- Kendall Fuller extended for 3 years, $18 million. His versatility and ability is appreciated more than most would recognize.
-Emmanuel Ogbah extended 2 years, $14 million. Ascending player who had his campaign stopped short by injury. Will buffer against Okafor release in 2021.
- The following Chiefs WALK: Henne, Breeland (too pricey), X.Williams, Claiborne, Lee, McCoy, Robinson, Suggs, Ware, Ragland.

- Option/extension for Mahomes
- Sign FA CB Chris Harris - 1 year, $ 10 million
- Sign FA LB Joe Schobert - 3 years, $20 million
- Sign FA G Joe Thuney - 3 years, $ 33 million

DRAFT
* Chiefs acquire 1st (25) and 3rd (89) from Minnesota for DT Chris Jones.

1. (25) Curtis Weaver - DL - Boise State
- Weaver can contribute right away to a solid DE rotation but also kicks inside as a 3 tech in pass downs, hopefully replacing some of Jones’ production. He played as heavy as 290, sets an edge, and has exceptional power and bend.

1. (32) Trevon Diggs - CB - Alabama
- Diggs competes, is long, and physical. Sound like anyone? Very similar to Breeland in play style and is a prototype for what Spagnuolo likes on the outside.

TRADE: Chiefs trade (2) #63 and (3) #96 to the Rams for (2) #52

2. (52) D’Andre Swift - RB - Georgia
- Another weapon for the offense, Swift packs a punch in his 5’9” frame at 215 lbs., and he is fantastic in the passing game. His burst and elusiveness create more matchup nightmares for opposing defenses.

3. (89) Cesar Ruiz - C - Michigan
- A dependable anchor who has a varied skill set. Smart, tough and competent in both run blocking and pass protection.

4. (135) Jordyn Brooks - ILB - Texas Tech
- Brooks has a nose for the ball and surprising speed and agility for a 245 lb. thumper. He diagnoses quickly and his instincts are superb. Likely a 2 down backer in the pros, but you need these guys...

5. (177) Adam Trautman - TE - Dayton
High-pointing, hands catcher with nice open field speed for a big man: 6’6”, 253 lbs.
Trautman flexes out, but also plays in-line and is a willing blocker, but he is best used as a passing target. He did not face the greatest competition in college...
