Let's revisit the DL position.
I think one thing we're learning this season, as if we didn't already know it, is that a phenomenal DL makes your entire defense look outstanding.
More to the point: we've got two Pro Bowl caliber linebackers on this team, and we need to keep them clean. Other than finding more weapons for Mahomes, this must be the top priority of the offseason. Under contract, we have: DE: Clark, Kaindoh DT: Jones, Wharton DT: Saunders DE: Danna Free agents: DE Melvin Ingram, DE Alex Okafor, DT Jarran Reed, DT Derrick Nnadi Ideally you want to enter the season with 5 DE, 5 DT. Here are free agents in 2022. Here are the draft prospects. |

When I think of ELITE at DE, I think of TJ Watt, Myles Garrett, Nick Bosa, Trey Hendrickson, Cam Jordan, Chandler Jones, etc. Guys that bring it every single down, every single season. These are the type of guys you pay 100 million dollars.
Clark is so far from elite that I can't even put him in the conversation. I'm definitely on the "get more good DEs" train with you guys, I just want good to be consistent. |

Clark, at this point, is finally approaching competency IMO. |

The Chiefs gave up a 1st and 2nd then paid Clark $65 million (with $13 million in dead cap still to come) for far less consistent effort and less productivity. Just hate seeing such a massive disparity there. I could live with overpaying a bit on cash or picks - these things happen. But man, getting strafed on both is pretty rough.

We could have TWO Ogbahs for what we pay Clark. Maybe 3. |

It looks like there are some good potential value players in FA.
Von Miller-if he wants a fair price Arden Key Emmanuel Ogbah Derek Barnett Talk McKinley Honestly I’d be so down with keeping Ingram and bringing in Ogbah and Key if we decide to let Frank go. Wonder what they’re thinking with Kaindoh though. Can’t rely on him

Clark is why I hate spending big money on FA's. More often than not they play well at the beginning of the contract and as their salary swells their play dwindles. I'd rather just keep churning draft picks and low budget FA project through.

Of that group I think Barnett is the best fit, then Ogbah and then Key. Ogbah is probably the best overall player but he's gonna get a pretty nice deal somewhere after consecutive 9 sack seasons - he may just be out of our range. Arden Key probably has the best bang for your buck potential as he's been real close to a breakout for a couple years and may have finally turned a corner in SF (so I suspect they'll try pretty hard to keep him). If you could get Ogbah on one side and a Barnett/Ingram rotation on the other, you'd be in pretty nice shape.

It's easily the most disappointing aspect of this little experiment.

I really like Barnett. Think he'd be a nice fit here. Bring him in and keep Ingram. Add another couple similar players and rotate them around.
