The more I think about it the more I see a Safety as possibly the best option in rd 2. 3/4 guys are on long term deals and it’s a big area of need.
We really need a Husain Abdullah type back there.

If the Chiefs go Safety in the 2nd round, it'll also really help the pass rush, especially if Tanoh continues to improve and Dee Ford can return healthy.
I'm good with a free agent on the DL but I think they'll still need to grab at least two guys in the draft and I'm actually good with them taking two in the 3rd round. They won't be expected to start immediately but will become rotational players right away.
While I can see the Chiefs asking Bailey to restructure and add more years, I can't see them cutting him outright because that would mean that only 2 defensive lineman, Jones and RNR, would return from last year's squad and there's a possibility that Jones won't even be 100% by Training Camp.
I realize that it's speculation at this point but it's clear that Jones play wasn't consistent and up to his potential last year due to the knee surgery during training camp. I'm all for giving him as much rest as possible so that he's a healthy 100% in Week 1.
