Josh Uche Traded to Chiefs

I guess I just wonder what it is they saw that compelled them to make the move. I don't care a whit about the 7th rounder, but why did you go get the guy at all if you had so little use for him?

Gotta be a Joe Cullen thing? I mean I trust the guy, but it is odd.

Even if it's a Cullen thing, even when Danna went down you couldn't find a dozen snaps for the guy?

If he's still buried behind Malik friggen Herring, what could there POSSIBLY have been on tape to convince you that he was worth acquiring?

Sometimes I wonder if there's a bit of a disconnect between the front office and coaching staff on these smaller moves in the margins. But in an organization this well run, that seems unlikely.

I mean, unless they asked Cullen while he was out there running a drill and he was just like "Sure, fine, whatever - have at it Brett. I'm sure it'll be great...{blows whistle}..."

Herring played 40% of the snaps last week and he's the Jaggiest Jag to ever Jag.

Eh, they'll get a 7th back I am sure with compensatory picks. It is what it is, gotta swing sometimes at the risk of missing.

They're in line for two compensatory picks (both 7th rounders).

Friendly reminder that this appears to have pre-dated Cullen. Not saying he didn’t push for the kid but the Chiefs met with Uche when he was in the draft process. I remember us talking about him being a nice fit here. I bet Veach liked this kid. I remember Veach saying in a presser that they run through everybody in the draft process in case they are ever available in future years, like this move.

Thanks Dante for making the prospect tracker threads every year. They come in clutch for times like this.

I interviewed @UMichFootball EDGE Josh Uche (@_Uche35) for @TheDraftWire. He's one of my favorite players in this draft. He's met w/ the #Titans, #Chiefs, #Ravens, #Raiders & several others.https://t.co/CEYdOl23w3#NFLDraft | #GoBlue

Slow Wednesday, finally started to imagine 3rd-and-9 with a four man front of


Uche - Wharton - Jones - Karlaftis

or...

Jones - Omenihu - Karlaftis - Uche

Dare I say it could be as close to what Spags had in NY 2007 as any package since?

JPP never played for Spags, if that's what you are getting at...

I would venture to say the current Chiefs D line is better. Spags had Strahan-Tuck-Umenyiora-Robbins in 2007/

This week is the sort of game that should help illustrate why we got him. Hope he shows out.

My question would be why are both ILB's chasing the RB there instead of one sitting in the MOF hook zone.

Yeah looks like Tranquil was out of position, which made the throw way easier.

Jesus what where they doing? 3 people keyed in on the RB

I expect to see more Uche this week. Last week was a strange strange game plan.

Watching this again. The “Bo Nix torched the Chiefs” narrative is not exactly accurate.

It was far more the Chiefs playing sloppy.

That big TE gain that was wide open was bc Nazeeh and Tranquill ran into each other. The first TD was Bolton thinking Tranquill was covering the WR that was open. The big play at the end was 3 players going to the Rb leaving the middle open.

Bo wasn’t good. The Chiefs defense was bad. Ton of sloppy mistakes they haven’t made all year.

All stuff that should be cleaned up.
