Chiefs offseason

@rockchalkjayhawk I honestly didn’t want him back, good run stopper but terrible in coverage.

The fan base seems to be split about his skills. too slow in coverage for some, a great QB of the defense for others.
-
Bolton is ok. Good run stopper like @kjayhawks says. Would rather have used than money elsewhere though. Tranquil could hold down the mlb spot if needed with Chenel becoming a starter. Was expecting Bolton to sign a deal with the Cowboys and the Chiefs spend some money on LT! More moves to come I hope.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Looks like Worthy and Carlton Bragg date from the same pool.
crazy gals is as nice as I can put it.
-
15 minutes until the legal tampering period. Should get interesting for lots of teams. I do not expect the Chiefs to be big spenders after wrapping up so many cap $$$ in Bolton and Trey Smith - hopefully a long term deal can be done to lessen the cap hit.
-
Jaylon Moore is the LT for the next couple years. I like this pickup. He played very well spelling a hurt Trent Williams. 27 years old and healthy. I’m glad the Ravens sewed up Stanley early!

Hmmm. A Big hmmm on this signing. As a guy who lives in the Bay Area and watches the 49ers, too…their line was close to the same mess as the Chiefs line.
Not sure this was a good signing. Moore is totally unproven. Big gamble. Big big gamble.
-
But i think the Elijah Mitchell signing was excellent!
He did very well when healthy. when healthy being the key phrase …
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Fair enough. 10 pressures and 1 sack in 4 games is about what Patrick faced per game on the left side last year though. I’d be happy with league average.

Talked with a friend of mine that is a lifelong 49ers fan. Said he’s fine not amazing. We both agreed fine would be a huge upgrade vs what KC was trotting out last season at the position.
-
@BShark Could still be Orlando Brown Jr. if he hadn’t messed around and found out. I’m ok with competent tackle play, it’s been awhile. I think Moore brings it. Glad it’s not Dan Moore and his 12 sacks allowed last year at 21 mil. Yikes.
-
Wharton got paid!!! 3/54.
Too bad he’s gone, but I’m glad he got a bag!
-
Watch out Mahomes, Minshew Mania is in da house!!!
-
Sounds like Kareem Hunt is back too.
The RB room seems set with Pacheco, Hunt, Mitchell and maybe a late round RB draft pick?
-
The gang’s all back: JuJu returning as well.
-
I’m ready for mock draft season to end and the real deal to go down! The player highlights are enjoyable during the draft.

Tonight!
No more mock drafts, on to bashing the picks! lol
-
Josh Simmons - a talent the Chiefs would not likely be able to draft sans injury. He’s the player I expected/hoped the Chiefs would draft. Now to get healed up and back at it! Need to keep Mahomes upright!
-
A big Hmmm on the Chiefs second and early third round picks.

Positions of need.
-
Drafting the big uglies - good. Not sexy, but the games are often won or lost in the trenches. I’m completely in the dark about the defensive players selected, but I like the positions filled.

Yep, the most important positions. Big swing on the Ohio State tackle, but I like the risk. top 15 guy in any draft if healthy…
-
@BShark I didn’t realize the low success rate of linemen returning from a patellar tendon tear (45%). I’m going to say it’s gotten better and the sample size goes back too far, but that’s a sketchy number. Burkholder has checked him out a couple times and cleared him, so that’s encouraging. However there is risk that he never fully recovers like Niang.

It’s a very bad injury for sure. Same that Elmarko had…

Yea, we need those kinda guys for sure. I say hmmmm because I’d like to draft a starter or two in those early spots, and these guys don’t seem to be more than situational players.
I’m not expert enough to know who else was available, but pretty much every expert says these picks were big reaches.
Depth is fine of course, but you need some meat to go with your potatoes, too.
