Should the Chiefs look at S Minkah Fitzpatrick as a CB?

[Megatron96]

So I've come around to the idea that we might need to address the CB situation sooner rather than later.

In that vein, I was wondering what we think of S Minkah Fitzpatrick of the Miami Dolphins.

6' 1" 200 lbs.

2018 stats
80 tackles
9 pass defended
2 INTs

I know, he's listed as a safety. But last year, out of 1,000 snaps played, he actually played over the slot and on the boundary in nearly 700 snaps. And when he was targeted, he allowed just a 51% completion rate, and a QB rating of only 49%. Okay, 49.7%.

And while he's still got 3 years to go on his contract, he looks cheap, at about 3-4 million/year.

Maybe a solid possibility?

If you're Marty, what's the point of having an inside connection and claiming to get information before it hits if you don't share it in a meaningful way?

His Chiefs Editorial Kingdom twitter handle doesn't do much otherwise.

[Hammock Parties]

He's shared plenty. First guy to tell anyone Reek would be at camp.

Hey guys I have inside info the chiefs will make a move for a corner. Everyone and their mother knows that’s gonna happen at some point. If you keep saying it every week you will be right once. Can’t believe anyone thinks these clowns have info

Look just trying to be pleased here.

The guys who used to have inside info always got slaughtered around here too. In a fast paced business like this things can change in the blink of an eye. You leak info, it changes, your source gets thrown to the wolves for the remainder of eternity.

Even if Marty and Clay dont bat 1000 i still love them 4000.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

They are batting under .100 That's the problem

[Jerok]

The problem is they post dumb vague shit so they won't get called out when something doesnt happen. But can take credit when it does.

@flasportsbuzz: There is considerable interest in Minkah around the league, as we noted Friday. CBS' La Canfora says 20 teams have shown interest. NFL Net and CBS both reporting he could be dealt this week. Miami wants first-rounder back.

He's being fed info by the dolphins, obviously.

And I'm saying no to a first rounder.

This isn't the Royals. We're not doomed to collapse. We have Patrick Mahomes in a salary cap era. We won't collapse if we're smart.

Constantly trading away your 1st round pick isn't smart. It's a good way to turn your team into the Packers.

Stop saying, "We need to win now." No we don't. We need to win over the course of 10-15 years. The goal should be to win multiple championships with Mahomes, not just one.

We ARE winning now. We almost won now last year in spite of doing jack shit. Just have some ****ing patience.

In general, I agree with you. However, THIS is the sort of trade that actually strengthens your team for the long haul, not just to WIN NOW.

Fitzpatrick is in the second year of his 5 year rookie deal. He's a better player than anyone we'll have access to draft at our slot, which might be #32.

a late first round pick has what, a 50/50 chance of being a quality starter? this guy has already shown that.

Unlike trading a pick and bunch of cap for a proven veteran, this is like taking a first round pick 15 slots higher than you'll get, and only giving up one year of his rookie deal in exchange. That's worthwhile.

This case is a bit different or I would agree with you. You're getting a 2nd year player who is dirt cheap for next four years for a 1st round pick who you very likely wouldn't get someone anywhere near as good as him at.

I'm not really a huge Washington Redskins fan, so I could be off a bit here. I seems like a big portion of the 1970' and 1980's that they never had any draft picks... at least early in the draft. They moved them all for established players. The 1970's and 1980's was probably the best era ever for the Redskins too.
