I'm sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about.

We upgraded at DE by letting Tyson Jackson walk while promoting Bailey, who is a clear upgrade. All while saving 4 million.

We upgraded from McCluster to Thomas and saved another 4 million by spending a late round pick.

We upgraded from Kendrick Lewis to Parker and saved a bunch of money while putting a guy back thare that teams don't want to test on deep routes.

Akeem Jordan to Mauga and JMJ...no question those are upgrades.

Eric Fisher is coming along nicely and is starting to show flashes of why he was so sought after...I still wish we could have kept Albert, but I understand that in a salary capped league, you can't keep everyone.

Abdullah was the best value free agent in the nfl.

Gaines didn't allow a pass to be completed to his man and prevented 2 scores.

I wish we could have kept Asamoah because he could have helped at RG, but again...it's a salary capped league. Paying guys like Asamoah 4/yr would have kept us from being able to keep someone like Houston long term.

I think saying he say on his hands and wasted this offseason is silly.

Even counting the net addition of Alex Smith's contract, we essentially saved $20M, will probably get 4 comp picks, and got not just a little better but a lot better.

And that's not even factoring in that we have defensive 2 pro bowlers sitting on the injury list right now.

The Chiefs will get a high pick for Albert. Mid-level pick for Asamoah and Tyson Jackson. And should get a 6th or 7th for everyone else they lost which would include McCluster and Lewis who are both starting. Those are high dollar players, they're all starting, and none of them can be neutralized by a player we signed.

I had never read that about June1, NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're going to for sure land 4 compensatory selections then, as I don't believe any team in this league even comes close to losing what we've lost.

How does Schwartz fit into the deal though? He doesn't fall under the "previous year signed, then released" clause, does he count? Because if he does that should jump over McCluster or Lewis, yes? I'd think that's 1 high, 3 mids then.

I agree with most of this, not all of it, but most of it. Especially the parts about the "hidden" upgrades there in the departure of McCluster and Jackson.
