They couldn't afford him and had to let him walk.

I don't disagree with any of this.

I just disagree with the premise that 2 down run stuffers have little or no value.

Oh, I guess I wouldn't say "little" but I don't believe that the Chiefs should be paying a guy $8-10 million per for 2 downs, nor should they spend a Day 2 pick on an NT.

They have pressing needs at Safety and Cornerback and at this point, DE should be a concern as well considering Bailey's been injured the past two seasons and Chris Jones has had two knee surgeries in the last 9 months.

I still say Veach has one more splash up his sleeve. Is it a trade for young veteran? Not likely. Is it a bold move up into round one to get a Vea, Payne, Derwin James, Jaire Alexander? I think so.

Then it makes no sense.

He had a solid, albeit unspectacular, year last season.

I still say go get Suh if you can make it work...

Right. I don't get what Ballard's doing up there in Indy.

Last 2 playoff games should tell us as much.

On one hand, KC could use his toughness and tenacity. On the other, he’s a ****ing dickhead and cares only about money.

That trade with the Jets was the first good thing I can remember him doing in Indy.

Once we fix the D (NOT this year for sure) this will all be over.

I agree with you.

Im not about spending a bunch on the D Line. There are serviceable players already on the roster, but the team could stand to upgrade at the position.

My biggest worry on the defense right now is the CB spot, and the safety opposite Berry. Perhaps the team believes in McQuay. We dont get to see these guys in practice like the coaching staff does every day so we are always left to wonder how guys like McQuay and Kpass are doing.

Yep, that's why I've been adamant about taking a Safety in the 2nd round and a CB in the 3rd since the season ended.

The Chiefs should be able to get a nice rotational D-lineman in the 3rd round.

Seems like Hankins has some ability to rush the passer as well. Utilizing him like we did Logan last year wouldn't be a bad idea, if we could get him.
