But what's that have to do with Derrick Nnadi? Just seems like a non-sequitur. Somewhere between Jerry Rice and Snoop Minnis is a player we can really use.

I personally think run stuffers do matter, and they are not a position you should take lightly.
DJ Reader is a big reason why the Bengals defense gets away with all of its exotic crap. He's immovable, even against an elite interior like the Chiefs have. The Bengals do all kinds of weird stuff and leave a relatively bare bones DL alignment in place because Reader can shut down the business all by himself. That said, I don't think there is a 1- or 0-technique block of granite DL the Chiefs have access to at the end of the 1st. Keeanu Benton is the closest you get and he'd be a really good pick at 31 in my opinion. Not my favorite pick, but a great one nonetheless. But in all likelihood, there will be better options available, including at DE where you pretty much have to go at this point. Benton has a lot more juice to get upfield than I originally thought, but he's still a plugger that you can't move. |

Honestly, I can't figure why the Chiefs didn't give Danny Shelton playing time last year. Shelton's under contract now so who knows.
That guy is a pure 0-tech with long arms. For a guy with a reputation for being a brilliant personnel gameplanner, Spags can be so dogmatic sometimes. |

While I've been as hard on this guy in the past as anyone in here - probably more than anyone - I did notice that he actually picked it up a bit and played reasonably well the last maybe 1/3 of the season and into the playoffs. Not enough for me to want him re-signed, but he did start playing better - not that it was a high bar to reach. And I'm not saying that just because we signed him, I said it about a month ago.

He qualifies for the 1.5m qualified veteran cap reduction program because he’s been here for 4+ years. So I’d imagine he signed for vet min and his salary won’t count against the cap.
Even then, he’s been terrible enough that every year we’ve needed to go dumpster diving to improve the run defense with him not being good at all. |

His greatest skill is diving like he's doing a belly flop and totally missing everyone and everything.
It's impressive |

Positives about Derrick Nnadi
1. He has stayed healthy for his KC football career. He has not missed games in the 5 years he has been in KC. 2. He will be very familiar with the defense. 3. Coaches know what he can do. 4. He won't cost too much. This is an assumption since his 2023 contract has not been reported yet. 5. He fits in with team chemistry. 6. He can get better from last year. |
