Not a fan of giving up picks- especially a 1st rounder. If anything, the Chiefs should trade back into the 2nd round and amass more picks. We have a lot of spots that need an upgrade.

I would only give up next year's first for Clowney. I would love such a move.

Nope. Don’t pay huge money for career underachievers

when you're going to be picking at the end of each round, there are no sure things. That's why you need MORE picks, not less.

Clowney's a good player, but he's expensive. I'd rather not. I'd rather throw a couple of highish picks at the position.

I think a Zach Allen/Omenihu/Jaylon Ferguson in the 2nd is a better move for the team.

I think that Clowney money would be better spent nabbing a couple of players late in free agency to fill whatever spots you need filled after the draft.

This defense will not be about two or three stars lining up and beating their opponent across the line straight up. It'll be about fundamentally sound TEAM defense and creating confusion via scheme.

My Spidey Senses tell me that Clowney would ultimately be a poor investment for KC.

I agree. Good player, but not at the cost.

Just a feeling, nothing more.

They might not be available, but I rather the Chiefs pursue a veteran corner in trade as opposed to the edge rushers (Clark/Clowney). Guys like Rhodes/Peterson or to a lesser degree Howard. You would pay less in average salary/cap per season, and could draft replacements in the meantime. Big $ investments at the 2nd highest paying position on guys with spotty backgrounds does not make a lot of sense if looking to extend Mahomes and Jones.

I believe the two or three Corners we were looking at a few weeks back weren't able to get anything done on the phone or at the table. Ideally, it would be great to enter the draft with a Patrick Peterson or one of the guys from Minnesota on the roster so that we could nab a stud DE, but it looks like any feasible options may have already passed.

Chris Meck · 04-20-2019, 12:50 PM

Well, I imagine we won't see much movement until after the draft. Depending on how the board falls, you might see some guys move afterwards depending on who their team drafted.

Ideally Seattle won’t be able to trade Frank Clark next weekend giving us the leverage needed to trade the Dee Ford 2020 pick instead of one of our 2019 2nd rd picks.

Well he is just widely viewed as one of the best defensive players in the game.

Maybe for a 2nd rounder - max.

They lost Garoppolo for the season in case you forgot.

They should be an average team this year.

I didn't forget. That doesn't make them a good football team and I still don't see them rising above the 3rd spot in their division. They also don't have the most cupcake schedule in the league. They play the AFC North, none of which are an easy out. They have Seattle and LA in their own division, they have NO on the road, and they host GB, ATL, and CAR.

If I'm being generous right now I'm thinking 7-9. I think they win alot early, but that last 6 game stretch for them is hell.
