Basically, the development of the interior DL with Nnadi and Saunders the past couple weeks allows me to fortify the OL and that pathetic LB corps.

Spent some resources at CB; I continue to believe Chris Harris would not only be a perfect fit, but if you're going to spend multiple high picks at CB, which I've done over and over agian in these mocks, you need a veteran who can mentor. I am taking the same attitude with Wesley Woodyard, who I'm happy will not start in this arrangement, so that Isaiah Simmons, who is basically a better Woodyard, can play and get coached up.

You'll notice I tried to buttress my offense in free agency bargain bins. I don't think this team can retain Demarcus Robinson, though I'd like it if we did. Dorsett can probably be had for a good deal, however, and I've always really appreciated Seth Roberts, who can play special teams.

Also, this team needs an RB1 bad, and Gus Johnson can be that guy for at least a season.

Edwards and those FAs that you signed are hot ****ing garbage.

I have no money, bro.

I'd try and bring back Ragland and Breeland.

Other than that, you can get some vet fill ins in free agency every year. Maybe make some trades like the Ogbah one.

I also really doubt you're getting a 3rd for LDT and only a 4 for Watkins. I'd ideally like to extend and keep Sammy. He's hurt a lot sure, but when he's healthy, he's a big piece here.

I think you're underestimating how starved the NFL is for interior blocking.

And I think a 3rd is fair value for Sammy.

For Sammy maybe.

And yes they're starved for interior blocking, but at this point, LDT makes a lot of money, is very injury prone and when he's on the field, isn't very good.

No one giving up that much for him.

I think he's got considerable strengths, and folks out there may think they can coach him up.

It's not unthinkable.

What are his strengths? He can't play consistently cause he's hurt and he makes a lot of money, in which the Chiefs need a lot of back next year because of other contracts.

So teams know they're gonna have to cut some guys and LDT would be one of them. Why trade for a guy that makes a lot of money and may get cut?

Not reading a single one of these until you finally nut up and pick the Chiefs to win it all

This! He has been posting this stupid Pats shit since Training camp.

[BryanBusby]

I think the Chiefs should just ride that last cheap Pat year as is and worry about an extension come the option year.

I think Watkins can be moved for a 3rd, Jones should get an extension if he can continue to show he can play DE and Ldt should come back on a paycut.

Ogbah can hit the free market and I really don't like any of those picks or FA signings tbh.

I’m curious about what Watkins can bring with his cap number.

If he finishes strong and contributes to a championship team, I would think some team flush with cap space will pay up for his rights in the form of a day 2 draft pick.
