Gas on the Fire: Shutdown Corner Gives Chiefs "F" in FA.

[Easy 6]

Sacc, I think the point you're missing is that very few, if any, people were wanting a drunken spending spree...

a) we didn't have the money, even if we redid a few guys deals.

b) most people these days are savvy enough to understand that that's not the way to remain relevant.

Most seem only to have wanted 2 players, and atleast in my mind, they didn't have to be marquee guys, just solid, youngish vets who could step right in, produce and give us so many more options in the draft.

2 legit starters, one for each side of the ball... I just don't see how that's asking too much.

And who would that be?

Personally, I'm glad that Sanders went with the Donkeys. I think he's mediocre and provides us with the ability to fill that hole with a better talent such as Odell Beckham, Brandin Cooks or Marquis Lee.

On the defensive side of the ball, we just don't need the injuries that we suffered at the end of the season. Who is going to be a starter for this team on that side of the ball as it related to free agency versus what they can get in the draft?

2014 was a shitty free agency. I frankly don't care that they didn't make any major signings through that avenue.

We have a couple of guys who they were hoping to be impact players last season in Kelce and Sanders. We've got the whole team and coaching staff with a year under their belt now.

They will build the team. Through the draft in 2014.

I don't see how that is a head first dive off the bridge versus signing and overpaying for a couple of mediocre talents in the free agent market.

It's gonna be glorious when they draft a guard and you applaud it as a great move...

see that's my point. He can't lose

if they draft a WR Sac looks like a genius because that's what he wants

if they draft an OL, then Sac still looks like a genius because he loves lineman.

Asking them to do anything other than exactly what they're doing is asking too much.
