Much better.
1) The Defensive coaching staff went from one of the worst in the league to one of the best. 2) Ford and Houston...could you really count on them again? Especially at 30+ million in cap space? Ford took 5 years to produce. He's often injured and disappeared against good lines. Houston is 30 and hasn't played a full season since his big contract year. 3) Their replacements are likely on the roster in Kpass and Speaks. They haven't proven anything but are 4-3 DE's. This coaching staff and front office were trying to put them at OLB and they didn't fit. Kpass showed promise at rushing the pass rusher but looked lost at coverage and he won't have to do that. Still need depth. 4) Chris Jones is going to be an absolute beast in this scheme. He only has to play 1 gap now. He's my dark horse Defensive MVP next year. 5) Hitchens and DoD are much better fits in this defense as well. 6) Honey Badger fills the biggest need by far on this team. I'd like to see EB gone and sign Boston. 7) The CB position needs improvement obviously but I'm sure that will get taken care of shortly. The offense will largely remain the same baring injury. I don't think they will need to score as many points this year to win so they may step back statistically, but still remain very efficient. |

How about we wait until after the draft for this, yeah? Seems pretty moronic to try and determine this when the team isn’t done making moves.

Khalil Mack pulled two 1's a 2nd and a 3rd, Ford put up better than numbers than Mack this year. The going trade rate for pass rushers right now says that Veach got screwed. If Mathieu goes on to just be decent are you going to trash the signing? No, i imagine that you will say 'that was the going rate at the time'. If Ford gets hurt or starts sucking, it doesn't change the current trade rate for pass rushers. I realize that your superior football mind has determined that Dee Ford isn't worth the numbers he just put up but the NFL doesn't work that way. The going rate is the going rate. |

Make it out to be whatever you want. You've decided already.
Just like Veach is a genius and Dorsey was a fraud. |

Veach has been here one year. I like what I've seen but he's only been here one year...

We don't know. It's been one year.
But we'll have 3 starters on defense this year from that draft. Do we get to consider our 1st round pick Mahomes?...

The Chiefs are getting better. WAY better. In philosophy, in approach, and as you and others will eventually see, in execution as well. These are the Kansas City Chiefs we have waited DECADES for. Two days of "not really Free Agency" are a minor drop in the bucket. I predicted that this roster and all of the fine-tuned tweaks for 2019 would be completed around Thanksgiving, and I'm sticking with that. By the time the playoffs arrive, this team will be on FIRE.

I'm holding out answering the poll for about a week to see where the Chiefs end up, but it certainly isn't a good thing to blow up one of the best pass rushes in the NFL to replace it with Speaks and ???. We'll see what happens though, don't have my panties in a bundle yet.
