Mellinger: Fixing The Chiefs In Five Steps
Fixing The Chiefs In Five Steps: a self-help guide for a chronically underachieving franchise

Quote:
5. Add talent. Pretty basic, right? Sign good players, duh. But this will be Veach’s first real test in the new job. Whether through the draft or free agency, Veach should target, in order: cornerback, edge rush, defensive line, safety, backup quarterback, interior offensive line, middle linebacker and tight end. ...

Chance of adding enough: 60 percent, but this completely depends on your trust in Veach.
Quote:
4. Cuts and salary-cap management. The Chiefs can potentially save more than $20 million in cap space by cutting Hali ($8 million) and cutting or reworking deals with linebacker Derrick Johnson ($8 million in potential savings) and defensive lineman Allen Bailey ($6 million in potential savings). ...

Chance the Chiefs will clear adequate cap space: 90 percent.
Quote:
3. Replace Bob Sutton with a more creative and innovative defensive coordinator. The Chiefs ranked 28th in total defense, and dead last in Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric, this season. This is unacceptable.

They could not develop even an average pass rush despite getting a full season from Houston and having enough talent along the defensive line. You saw this with the naked eye, but the data is even more damning: according to Pro Football Focus, the Chiefs were 27th or worse in sack percentage, quarterback pressure percentage and time required to create pressure. ...

Sutton was conservative to the point of counter-production: no team ran fewer stunts on pass plays, and the Chiefs tied for the fifth-lowest blitz rate, according to PFF. ...

Chance of this actually happening — of Sutton being replaced: 40 percent.
Quote:
2. Trade Alex Smith. This should be the second-easiest roster decision of the offseason (after cutting Hali), and the most important: without it, the Chiefs are stuck, or worse. ...

Chance of Smith being traded: 95 percent.
Quote:
1. Andy Reid needs to evolve. Some of this is tied into whether Sutton indeed keeps his job, because Reid is famously loyal to his assistants. But this goes beyond tough decisions on assistants.

This is going to require Reid to get uncomfortable. ...

Chance of significantly happening: 50 percent, a tug of war between Reid’s stubborness and self-awareness.

Ford was a bad ass at LOLB in 2016. It's no coincidence that the Chiefs went on a 1-6 slide after he and Conley were injured.

Ford doesn't need to be a superstar, he just needs to be available. His presence on the field makes a difference and the only reason to cut or trade him is because the Chiefs have signed, traded for or drafted a suitable replacement.

Yeah, Ford was missed but Sutton would have put him in coverage too.

They were fine without Conley but no so much when they had 3 backups along the interior oline- could not run = could not pass = simple. I like Conley and Robinson but Wilson can go such his alligator arms in and hide from defenders somewhere else and this team would be the better for it for sure.

Once Conley was hurt, then Wilson, the offense sucked ass for the better part of 7 games.

Robinson has never been impressive. I'm not sure why anyone likes him or has any hope that he becomes a solid #2 or #3 receiver.

He's a JAG.

He’s probably a decent #4 WR if you absolutely need him. I really like Chesson though. I think he could be solid.

I would love to see a team sometime give a rookie QB a ten year, $100M deal. Like... start paying Mahomes 10 per year now so we don't have to go to 5 yr/20 per when he's off his rookie deal.

That might be the way to do it if the team could get out of it after 5 with minimal cap hit going forward

Yeah, its not like we drafted a guy in the 2nd round who plays that position that didn't play a single snap in the playoff game or anything.
