I'd trade up for a pass rusher or a QB.

With where the Chiefs are right now, they need quality and quantity. I wouldn't trade up unless there were an absolute game changing guy there and with this current draft class, I don't know about that when you're getting that late in the draft.

I haven't watched the video so they might not have said it like this but if Veach just outright loses Ford and Houston without getting anything in return it'd be about time to start looking for a new GM.

If you had 4 picks in the top say, 60 picks, you could come out with a starting CB, a starting ILB, you're starting C, and a safety/DL/TE.

They aren't all likely to hit, but damn that's some cheap potential talent infusion.

Do we swap our original intentions (most likely)
and actually draft a CB prior to Safety, since Nelson will most likely be gone?
[Reply]

I like this. :-)
[Reply]

Why?

You save a shit load in cap - what if they tag Ford and can't find a trade partner - what then? look for a new GM?
[Reply]

It's great to have cap space for sure, but you've still got to fill those spots with players once you cut these guys. And those guys have a lot of potential value.

The league is desperate for pass rushers, and most of the FAs this year won't hit the market. There is absolutely no way a team wouldn't throw at least a 3rd our way.
[Reply]

I don't think it's very likely if they tag Ford that they'd be unable to find a trade partner - just playing devil's advocate. I admit I don't know a lot about this process - but they're saying that there's a possibility we just release both Houston and Ford.
[Reply]

Collins is actually 25. :-)

I do NOT want to extend Houston. The cap savings this year just isn't worth it if you ask me.

Let Houston play out 2019, then walk away basically unharmed. The last thing we need is another Hali situation causing us grief.

I think the difficult question is whether or not to tag Ford. Man if you can tag and trade, then great. If not, we become very draft dependent on the defensive rebuild.
[Reply]

Yeah I’m out on doing extensions for Houston or anyone who looks like a year to year player at this point. That will just fuck the future cap up.

Either take a pay cut, leave the contract as is, or release him.
[Reply]

I agree with this. I have grown tired of the EB drama. Just cut our losses and move on, please.
[Reply]

Why is everyone so high on Landon Collins? Didn't we learn our lesson on paying a box safety that much?

Look around at the safety market the last couple offseasons. Don't go pay some crazy amount when you can find some good ones for peanuts.
[Reply]

That is how it should be.
