Suggested Post-Draft Free Agents & Trade Ideas?

[Couch-Potato]

What say you CP? What are the best available FA acquisitions and trade scenarios for the Chiefs post-draft?


Shwartz or Fisher, to compete with Niang for RT?

Breeland, Earl Thomas or Sherman at DB?

Melvin Ingram as dedicated Pass Rusher?

Larry Fitzgerald or Goldan Tate as WR #2?

Pull off the big trade for Julio!?

[Molitoth]

How much money do you think there is?

I’m going to relax and enjoy the summer and realize no matter what idea I have Veach is 26 steps ahead of all of us and onto better ideas. I’m just ready for the season now. There isn’t a better roster in the NFL so I’m not too desperate for any other moves. I don’t think we’ll do much outside of taking flyers from released players during camp cutdowns.

It seems like we have a huge hole at WR #2.

I think Mecole, Drob, and Powell will get some play but that's the most obvious question mark.

I also would like another vet pass rusher/ ring chaser.

Passing game will improve based solely on the new OL. Better pass protection and a better running game will combine to make the passing game a lot easier to execute and expand upon.

That seems like a major projection to assume that better offensive line play will make Hardman/Robinson/Pringle into more consistent WR’s.

It's a pretty easy concept... Teams can't put 6 in the box and drop 7 or 8 into coverage, or they have limited pass rush. Look at any great quarterback, and their 2 or 3's become big "names" even though they were average elsewhere. Heck, Mahomes as a rookie made Albert Wilson look all-pro in his one game.

No, we really don't. The #2 reciever is actually the third or fourth option on this team and has been since Mahomes took over. It's not a big role. A solid "post-up" guy like Powell is just what the doctor ordered.

Mecole is a speedy gadget player and return specialist. He'll never be a great route runner. He's still a solid player overall.

There will be some EDGE guys that get cut. Chiefs have to figure out what they have in guys like Tim Ward first.

Yep. Can't wait for training camp.

The Offensive lines battles will be something. Aside from OBJ and Thuney, no one has their spot guaranteed. Amazing how Veach took that unit from one of the worst in the league to (on paper) a top 4 group in the NFL.

Pretty much how I feel. Still holding out a little hope for a Julio trade, but whatever happens I'm happy.

Sign Breeland.

Sign vet pass rusher (probably Ingram). We’ll need to hope that Jones, Reed, Clark, Wharton, Danna, and Taco are enough. Clark needs to have a good year. We need one of the young guys to surprise us.

There really isn’t a true WR 2 available. I think we either roll with what we have or make a trade. No idea who we would trade for.

[ForeverIowan]

No way on Earl Thomas. Bring in high character players only at this point please.

Would love to see Schwartz or Fish back but I just don't think their health will allow it this year.

I assume you meant pull off the trade for Julio not JuJu?

Correct, Julio, sorry.

Gotta be Breeland, Ingram, Tate. Instantly fills 3 holes short term until next years draft where the ****ing Wizard of rosters fills these holes
