Bray and Bridgewater both require work, therefore they are the same. Sacc really needs to kill himself.
Also, I'm not super high on Bridgewater, but that's pretty good surplus value. The Chiefs aren't winning anything with their current roster construction, so they might as well build towards a workable future rather than just making sure that Arrowhead is a hopping scene for murderers and barbeque-engorged Jabbas.

I'd say that's worth a shot of attempting to put together a relatively well stocked team versus pissing away a first round draft pick on a guy who, for all intent and purpose, is a lesser version (less arm, less size) of what they picked up for free last season (Bray). |

So while I've never been a fan of Alex Smith and I was never in favor of the move (particularly for the price they overpaid), I do understand the philosophy behind it. He was Reid's guy and he was available. That's kind of a no-brainer from their perspective. I just don't have much faith that he can be as good as they apparently believe that he can. |

No only because I heard Tyler Wilson is available.

The stats on taking a QB who isn't a consensus #1 or #2 overall draft pick aren't good. I mean, the draft is one big crap shoot, but the dice seem loaded against mid-late round QB's in recent years (I only went back 5 years).

I would strongly consider it. I'm not a huge Bridgewater fan, but if the focus of this offseason/draft is rebuilding with cheap, young talent, a slipping QB can be a big piece of that.
Everything they've done so far this offseason has indicated they are NOT in win-now mode. In that case, you take the best player with the most upside at No. 23 (and every other pick). You never draft for need unless you're drafting to add the final piece of a championship puzzle (and even then, I'd lean to drafting the upside over the fit).

we didn't have any money to spend this offseason though right? I still think we're in win now mode. Our core players are about to hit their downhill. take the best wr at 23 or just bpa and play for another wild card

If you're in win-now mode, you can always create some cap space by moving around contracts.

A rookie guard is probably going to suck dick if you fill him in immediately as a starter.
At least your rookie QB will be on the bench for the first year. |
