You're completely comfortable rolling into 2017 with Mitchell as the #2 CB, kccrow?

I probably don't have to remind you why you should be more reticent.

Absolutely. Mitchell is playing lights out defense. He's playing better ball than I saw Smith play when he was here. Some guys just need to end up in the correct scheme to match their style, and I feel like the Chiefs have done that for Mitchell.

Add in that D.J. White has had this season to mature and learn his placements plus will have a full offseason, yeah I'm comfortable.

If you use your theory of being reticent, then we should never draft another QB in round 1 in the history of the franchise. We should never draft another DT from LSU. The list goes on. I'm not scared of past failures.

I'm just saying.

It's wise to get health insurance if you've been hit by a car before.

We were smacked in the face by Cooper's failure in 2014. People forget Cooper was arguably playing better at the end of 2013 than Mitchell is now.

Considering 3 players started games this year before him, I think we're good.

Gaines getting healthy and being a reserve is probably good for him, but still solid insurance. Nelson playing the slot has improved his play, but still insurance. White developing and learning the defense more thoroughly will help him with the out of position issues he was having and he still played decent ball in spurts as a rookie. And to top it off, Mitchell isn't a rookie that you're banking on not having a sophomore slump. The guy has been in the league a few years now. I plan to take Awuzie out of my next mock and I don't think I'll put a CB in it. Murray could play CB if need be as well. So can Parker. I'm not sure how many guys you need at the position to be happy. Mitchell is playing good ball. There are guys there that can step in and be solid players. I'm not worried about what Marcus Cooper did or didn't do. And, btw, Marcus Cooper has had a really solid season in Arizona. Change of scheme can do wonders for players.

No he wasn't. Stop comparing Mitchell to Cooper. I told you all at the time that Cooper was too soft for this D. That he was no good. It was ****ing obvious to anyone who actually watched him, instead of getting all mushy over a couple of gimmie INTS.

Just because CP had an undeserved stiffie for Cooper doesn't mean that he's anything like Mitchell.
