Trade: Chiefs are finalizing a deal to send franchise CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, per league sources.
Chiefs are expected to receive a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick flop, while Snead will sign a new contract. Trade is pending physical for Sneed. pic.twitter.com/GWjyKAgxZq

Charvarious Ward maybe? He's went on to be really good.
Other than that.....
Not exactly comparing eggs with eggs but Andrew Wylie vs Jawaan Taylor. Wylie earns in 3 years what Taylor earns 1. That money could have been spent on a WR. [Reply]

It was worth the gamble. Protecting mahomes is essential.
Honestly with the way the league is set and how thise positions are paid. I would draft a wr, top 3 rounds every year and a tackle top 4 every year until you see if you find a great one.
And unless you think the wr is hof talent wanting to give a discount. Trade him the last year.

While I think this post is complete hyperbole and BWillie being BWillie, the Chiefs have invested alot in their OL compared to many other teams.
They are basically rocking with one of the highest paid G's highest paid C and highly paid RT.
They'd probably be rocking with a top 3 round pick at G if Smith hadn't fallen into their lap and they haven't been in position to spend on LT or draft one super high, they had 1 shot with Trent Williams and they tried to do that.
They honestly do behave like a team that has PTSD from that Tampa SB when it comes to the OL. So when you factor those things in it gets frustrating when you see Mahomes get happy feet or not trust his line consistently.
On top of that if you actually do watch other games there are a pretty significant number of QB's that see more pressure than Mahomes does on a consistent basis that don' behave like that.
Mahomes is a great player, maybe the best ever but that is one of his quirks, he sees phantom pressure, he lets it get in his head for long periods of time. [Reply]

Imagine bitching this much in the middle of one of the greatest dynasty runs ever. [Reply]

He'll be marked for life by the talking heads, especially if he commits a bonehead penalty. The chiefs obviously feel that OL is a just pay the man position [Reply]

Yes, the phantom pressure thing drives me a little nuts. Like dude, stay in there. [Reply]
I'm not an expert in breaking down film, but some of those looked like pretty solid coverage to me. Coverage that requires a perfect throw to beat isn't bad coverage just because it COULD have been completed.
Regardless, I'm glad he got the bag and we didn't have to pay him for it. I do hope he does well, though. [Reply]
