I could see the pathway to, "let's sign DJ for $8M instead of signing Cam Robinson for $20M who may not be any better"... especially if/when BAL re-signs Stanley.
And then if LT is your BPA in the draft, you still do that. [Reply]

Big guys do generally need more time after ACLs.

Isn't that still a lot of gambling???? We did that this year. [Reply]

It also helps that nobody fears any RB on this team this year.
The Chiefs are easy to defend when you have a consistent pass rush. We saw this against Denver and LAC.
Yep. Its why shit teams gave KC more problems than they should have. [Reply]

It also helps that coaching seems unwilling to adjust. Where were the screens, draws, and quick outs to stymie the rush? [Reply]

What you said is objectively true but not inherently. There were ways to get Worthy and Hollywood involved. It’s not like they completely didn’t try either. They just wasted many early downs on concepts designed for guys who were too slow or too long developing.
You can call that a personnel issue but when you’re trying force a square peg into a round hole it’s really not. Especially when you’re staring down the barrel of 24-0. At that point if you think it’s just execution, you’re just a dumbass.
I agree with the RB issue they need to draft one in the second round who can be a workhorse back. Not some slight build guy. I’d be going after Hampton or Johnson. [Reply]
I’m just not sure what outcome we’re gonna love. Veach is going to have to be a magician to get this solidified with a high degree of confidence. [Reply]

It certainly isn't enough on its own.
If we also trade up for a LT prospect or with a team that wants to rebuild and gain picks then it's fine as an additional insurance move if the $$$ are right. [Reply]
