Damn you’re right. I thought he was drafted by them.

Few other thoughts:

1. I would sign KPL back if Veach truly wants youth. His arrest will likely drop his price tag and you won’t find a LB as athletic and young as him. I’d feel good with a battle between KPL and Eligwe at camp.
2. We desperately need some beef up front on the DL. I expect Veach to sign at least 1 320+ lb lineman.
3. I wouldn’t be surprised if Veach trades one of our 3rd or possibly our 4th rd pick for a known player on a rookie contract.

Some good thoughts here. I agree that signing Wilson should be a priority: https://www.profootballfocus.com/new...as-city-chiefs

**** Albert Wilson.

He played well last year because he was in a contract year.

If Veach signs a 29 year old safety that turns 30 next January, he's going against the very principles that he's set forth in this rebuild.

Not gonna happen.

He's a 100% liability against the run. I'd much rather have an average player against both the run and pass than a one dimensional dime store superstar pass rusher.

All these guys will be FA’s

Eli Apple has been a cancer on a crappy Giants team. DRC is on the downhill. I'd take Fuller or EJ Gaines over either of them.

well and 26% of his yards and a quarter of his catches came in one game.

It has more to do with who the QB was than the WR.

Wilson is not a necessary signing. I'd spend that money elsewhere.

Houston had 5.5 sacks in the 5 games in which Ford was opposite him (Ford had 2 during that time span).

Over the course of the next 12 games, Houston had 4 sacks without Ford at ROLBer.

Ford is not a superstar but he's an effective player when healthy.

Unless the Chiefs find a late round gem in the draft that every other team missed on, Ford will be a Chief in 2018.

This isn't the year to throw $18-20 million at a pass rusher.

We’ve got youth there anyways that deserve their shot... I wouldn’t re-sign him unless it came for less than $3M per year, which it won’t.

Bewbies · 02-15-2018, 12:05 PM

I'd be shocked if Wilson wants out of here. He looked like a stud with Mahomes throwing him the ball.

I wouldn't overpay to keep him, but I'll be kind of surprised if he leaves.

I don't think Wilson is more than $3 million a year.

Good grief, he has 1,577 yards and 7 TD's in 5 years!

Also, what's the point of moving up for Conley and Chesson, drafting Robinson and signing Kemp to the 53 if they're going to shell out that kind of money for Alligator Arms Wilson?

Contract year

Exactly the reason I'm expecting to be pleasantly surprised with Dee Ford this year, most guys seem to have their best seasons in a contract year...nothing motivates quite like money

True, but the the guy who did that isn't the Gm anymore. Maybe Veach doesn't care for those players?

I'd prefer not to sign Wilson but wouldn't be surprised if they do.

Which of the receivers do you think would excel as the slot receiver though? Out of our young guys (Robinson, Conley, Chesson) I'm not sure I see any of them as true slot receivers. I'm iffy on Wilson, the one game with Mahomes he excelled but I'm not sure if that is because of the chemistry between Wilson and Mahomes or if it was a byproduct of not having other threats on the field.

I just don't think the Chiefs have any other slot receiver types currently on the roster. If you wanted to go draft a slot receiver, two names I would mention would be Anthony Miller out of Memphis (might be taken higher than I would grab him) or Keke Coutee who played with Mahomes at Texas A&M.
