The Chiefs should trade for Tyrann Mathieu

[carcosa]

Third thread's a charm, right?

The facts are these:

1. The Chiefs desperately need an upgrade at safety.

2. They were very close to trading for Earl Thomas, which shows that they know they desperately need an upgrade at safety.

3. Tyrann Mathieu is not quite Earl Thomas, but he has a history of high level play and this year has as many interceptions as the entire Chiefs defense and a rating of 72.3 from PFF, which qualifies as "Good."

4. Eric Murray has a 58.1 rating, which feels extremely generous. (Ron Parker has a 58.5)

5. Mathieu is on a one year contract, which means it wouldn't take a very high pick to get him.

6. Mathieu is also 26, which means he could be extended and become a long term upgrade.

7. Veach expressed interest in Mathieu this past offseason:

Veach says he's interested in Tyrann Matthieu if he can make the money work.

8. Veach has already established a pattern of getting guys on the second or third try (see Watkins, Hitchens)

9. The Texans are going nowhere this season. If they lose a few more games, they can safely be considered sellers.

10. Perhaps most importantly, THE CHIEFS DESPERATELY NEED AN UPGRADE AT SAFETY

So, how many posts to make this happen???
