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

Which is why it doesn't bother me at all that with a low importance position like guard, we aren't afraid to slide in some cheap guys and give them a shot.

OK, so your statement about getting depth through the draft was false then...

Yes and no. The draft is still the best place to get it. Low priced scrap pile works too. I just think the draft is more reliable about finding guys who are depth today, but could be developed into future starters while costing your team pennies. The Chiefs did well last year with the scrap pile. But I think you should come to expect more McGraths and Parkers than Marcus Coopers and Anthony Shermans.
