Not sure I prefer that route at this point, to be honest. Smith's approach with Baltimore, an organization he has a history with, really put me off him.

That's a guy who's just out for the check and I could easily see him shutting it down if he gets paid. Or pouting if he doesn't.

Not sure I want him even at the same price as Key at this point when you consider that, his age and the injury issues.

Once I saw the article I posted….it kind of soured me on him. It’s not confirmed so I guess I’ll wait to see but it sure comes off as him seeing all the money guys were getting and then backing out of his deal.

I would much rather get Dunlap on a 1-2 year deal if we’re wanting an older DE who is consistent.

Doesn’t seem like they’re at all interested in the younger edge rushers.

My guess is they want to draft at least 1 in the first 2 rounds, and they still like Kaindoh, so they’re just looking for a vet that can be a stopgap.

My guess is they bring Ingram back.

Yeah, haven't heard anything from them on that group of relatively affordable 25-26 yr old guys.

Seems like they're content back-filling in the draft and scooping up a cheap vet that slips through the first wave.

Not the direction I'd go, but they didn't ask me.

**The Franchise** · 03-21-2022, 09:00 AM

There are still guys out there I think would make this DE group better.

Dunlap
Barnett
Green
Key

RunKC · 03-21-2022, 09:05 AM

Just my 2 cents. They like Ingram and know he wants to come back but will make it for the right price. They also like the edge class and want to find on there.

I really wonder if they are going to draft a DE and DT with our first 2 picks? I really wouldn’t be surprised by that bc there are boundary corners with athleticism that can be had in rd 3

**The Franchise** · 03-21-2022, 09:07 AM

They could also be higher on Kaindoh and want to see him with more of a role in this defense.

I agree, but Ingram is 33, and only 6'2 and 247 lbs with just 2 sacks last year.

I'm wondering why Chiefs Nation has never shown any interest in Jadeveon Clowney!? He's 29, 6'5, and 255 lbs, is a top-tier disruptor at DE that comes at a below-market price tag and finished the previous year with 9 sacks.

I just see zero interest from our fanship for him, and I'm not sure why?

This is from a Nate Taylor article about bringing back Nnadi.

Draft impact

While the Chiefs were able to restructure the contract for defensive end Frank Clark and retain Nnadi, Veach and defensive coordinator Spagnuolo will still likely want to select a defensive lineman in the draft to add quality depth.

The Chiefs have four picks, including two third-round selections, in the first three rounds of the draft. The odds of the Chiefs selecting a defensive lineman with one of those picks, likely an edge rusher, are high. The Chiefs are high on a number of defensive linemen in the upcoming draft class, and the team could move up in the first round via a trade — trading the 30th overall pick and one of their third-round picks — to select such a prospect.

Kaindoh has a pretty big leap to make this offseason, he was overmatched what little he was on the field

This sounds like Brett Veach. I still wonder who would be there for us to move up? I don’t think Devinte Wyatt is worth that. I think it would have to be an edge rusher.

Jermaine Johnson has been mocked around 22-25 but also in the top 15. Who knows

I guess it depends on how far a guy like Johnson or Karlaftis fall.
