speaking of only cap value, the biggest bargains are going to come from qb, lt, wr, cb, and pass rusher.
10th highest paid for each position QB 17.6m LT 8.5m WR 9.7m 4-3de/3-4 olb-10m CB 9.5m C- 6.2m and the 11th highest paid C in the nfl "only" makes 3.2m a year. If whatever player we draft in the first develops into a top 10 type player, a center would only offer more value than a guard, a 3-4 end, fb, and a 4-3 olb. a big reason why seattles been able to keep their team in tact is by saving nearly 17m a year due to russel wilson being on a rookie contract. i know there are more factors to selecting a player, but this thread is about cap savings, and a first round center offers very little. i'd like to see is grab a tackle with lt potential, or a cb for when sean smith wants his 10+m a year after next season. or any other fallers. |

After the senior bowl. It was either him or Joeckel at the top of 90% of big boards. Most had Fisher at the top with the higher upside

Then he wanted to get paid and the Chiefs said, "No. It's not worth it." I still believe the Chiefs were right to not pay that money to Hudson. So what's to stop the exact same scenario from happening with Erving if he becomes the greatest C of all time? If Dorsey didn't want to fork over the money this time, I highly doubt he'll want to do so in 4 years. |

No first round fatties, period... I'd be more than ok with picking up a RT like Havenstein in the 2-3 range, or a Jarvis Harrison project for guard.
Grab a veteran backup center after camp cuts. But no first rounders, please... only playmakers need apply. |

Simply put, this is a reason you always take BPA especially in the later rounds. Take talent, let it sort itself out, then you don't have to overpay for guys like hudson. They've got kush, let him play.

I'm already dead inside. The Colts loss changed me forever.
I'll probably say "**** you, Dorsey" and move on. |

We save money by starting kush, this is a straw man argument methinks.

First thought:
- In terms of a football fan, and the decisions that your team makes... accept what you can not control. Too many people suck at this. Players (and agents) have the right to state their demands and set their value. GMs have the right to set their value and limit on what they will pay that player before he even opens his mouth. Branden Albert and Hudson set their price.. and it clearly was far more than KC was willing to pay. Maybe they were just happy to get the **** out of Missouri. So be it.. time to move on. As for whether Erving is a worthy candidate for #18? Well, that is obviously subjective. Would he be ready to start right away? There have been some good and fair comments that suggest he would not be.. so that of course if true may push him out of being worthy of #18. I have seen a dozen or so sites that have him anywhere from mid-1st rd to mid-2nd... so #18 doesn't seem unreasonable to consider. .. and if they want to wait till day 3 to address C competition for Kush? Fine by me too. Life's too short to make a big deal about things that are so far out of our control.

If they are worried about replacing players slated to become high-priced FAs then I would think CB or OLB would be at the top of their list.

Sorry guys you know this is coming....
@TerezPaylor: NFL Network analyst @CFD22 says one player who might make sense for the #Chiefs is FSU center Cameron Erving. @TerezPaylor: NFL Network analyst @MoveTheSticks thinks the #Chiefs could go with Texas A&M OT Cedric Ogbuehi.
