Claiborne is very experienced and is a decent starting corner last year who had a career year. That’s much better than a rookie or question mark player. I wouldn’t hold my breath on a really good corner being available until after the season is over.

I’m gonna also have to say, with Mathieu and Thornhill the Chiefs should have some really good safety play and that will ease some of our concerns at CB. I think it could be similar to what Philly had a couple years ago in that sense.
If it ends up being Fuller/Breeland/Claiborne, that should be just fine in this scheme IMO. |

I’m curious at how else they were supposed to improve the cb spot?

Yep so really the only opportunities moving forward would be a big trade or hope a decent CB gets cut because of money. Otherwise we roll with what we have for now. |

Veach pulled Charvarious Ward out of Dallas at the end of camp last year. Dude is pretty good!
There is no downside to this move and I'm not putting it passed Veach to do something else at the end of camp.

Week 1 Jacksonville---Don't need him.
Week 2 Oakland--Ha ha! Week 3 Ravens--More worried about their run game.. Week 4 Detroit--Stafford could light us up, but not overly worried about the rest of that team. I think we'll be good. Just in time for Luck and the Colts in week 5. |

Where’s OKchiefs? Does he still think Veach doesn’t see the need at corner?

There were the rumors of Josh Norman being cut but I just can't see that happening when if they suck people will get fired.

Outside of trading for a nickle corner Veach's biggest additions at cornerback in 2 years as GM have been Scandrick and now Clairborne. Yes, I'm sure he really sees the need and has adequately addressed the position. With almost zero cap room going into next season and everyone but Ward hitting free agency I'm also INCREDIBLY confident that Veach will be able to adequately address the position for next season. It seems like a GREAT idea to paint yourself into a corner (pun intended) of having to count on a rookie cornerback to produce right away. But knowing Veach he'll still find a way to wait until day 3 to draft a cornerback with a quote later of "The board just didn't work out our way so we took a 6'1" 290 lb fatass DE/DT tweener again.

Seems like Veach tried to trade for a corner, but the ones he wants aren’t budging on demands, so he went with the low risk high reward guy in Mo. Veach mentioned a couple months ago trying to re-visit some trade opportunities once camps got going and to me this signing is an indication that those teams didn’t want to move them for reasonable compensation.

It might not have been a strong FA crop but there were still players to be had. Veach could have made a stronger push for Ronald Darby for example. All in all, I've got no problem with him not drafting any CB high but now I really hope that he understands that the CB position could make or break this team. The CB position could literally ruin a SB run and I don't care that the safeties are good. |
