Calling Reggie Ragland a "scrub" is unbelievably stupid.

The guy was Top 4 in terms of talent in the 2016 draft, right along side Jaylon Smith, Myles Jack and Darron Lee.

Unfortunately, Smith was injured in his bowl game and Ragland tore his ACL on August 5th, 2016.

Ragland has enormous upside.

Now now, let's not go crazy.

Ragland was alongside Lee (depending on scheme fit) but he was not alongside Smith or Jack. Those two guys were considered potential top 10, even top 5 picks before their injuries.

I liked Ragland at the back of the 1st, but he was definitely not considered to be on the same tier as those two guys. Smith and Jack were absolute horses as prospects before injuries knocked them both down.

He could absolutely suck. But a 5th is a cheap, cheap, cheap price to pay for a guy who could still turn into a starter and good player - at a position of DIRE need for us, as well.

Agree. Absolutely doesn't matter. We're going to get comp picks to make up four these future low round picks. These guys are basically free.

For whom?

Not sure where the comp picks are gonna come from. I don't see many pending FAs that are going to draw significant FA interest on this squad. We have our core locked up for a couple of years and the aging guys aren't gonna get comp kinda contracts.

Plus the whole Saban wearing guys down in college is true. Ragland may never live up to his potential but it's still better than Justin March and DJ Alexander

But he was definitely a Top 4 in the 2016 draft and before finding the enlarged aorta, which will in no way affect his football career, considered a late first rounder.

He wasn't a "scrub". He's not Reuben Foster but he's hardly a "scrub".

I hope for their sakes that Smith and Jack can reach their potential.

Again, McClain, Hightower and Mosely have all done pretty well (although as mentioned earlier, McClain is mental).

If the Chiefs can get Hightower or Mosely out of a 2019 4th round pick for in 2018 & 2019, I'll be thrilled.

This better have been a conditional 5th...he's been terrible so far. Cleveland has had decent results from their o-line...so it's hard to blame the coaching.

I guess it also speaks to how bad KC's back-up OL has been in preseason/camp.

Tyreek Hill was a 5th rounder....

Ragland I understand...he was hurt, never played, then had a scheme change. Erving has been a big-time bust

People worrying too much about Bama prospects is what caused Landon Collins to slip past some teams.

I don't think Bama prospects have been quite as bad as some think. It's mainly the corners that worry me.

This. I think Parker is one of the most underrated safeties in the league. Who the **** worries about what Parker is doing? Not me. He's rarely a problem.

Yep. Lots to work with. I like this move. Goodbye, Jah Reid.

I don't think you can find his raw physical talent on the FA wire. Not at that age anyway.

He used a 5th to try to get some upside baked into a backup. There are a hell of a lot worse uses of a 5th round pick than that. If he goes into the market after cuts, you know who he's gonna find? Jah Reid and his ilk. He's gonna find aging guys that are past their primes and can't necessarily be coached up as much as they can be managed/limped along through their twilights. And sure, the floor on those guys is probably higher than on Erving.

But for a backup OL, I see a fair amount of utility in gambling on upside.

The fact that he was not even good enough as a backup for the Browns says it all. Do you not think they "coached him up" and tried everything they could to get a return on their 1st round investment?

If we can cut Jah Reid now- I guess it was worth it, but it looks like we gave up a 5th for Jah's twin though. This guy is soft as a pillow.

It is in fact a conditional 5th

Parker is a top 5 FS. Coming to the Chiefs his problem is he couldn't tackle. I'm glad those issues have been fixed. Gaines on the other hand his problems are unfixable
