Confident we can find an ILB and S in the draft. It's the DL that worries me as far as the draft goes.

Am I wrong in hoping that our first pick goes towards the best rush backer left on the board? I have no faith in Dee Ford and I don't know what to think of KPass.

So would you take the 15th best rush backer or one of the top 5 players at a different position. Yes OLB/Edge is a need, but you can't just focus on one need at a premium position.

Yeah I know, and with the way players fly off the board in bunches it's not a good plan. I just think we're kind of hosed at the position, especially with the way Sutton uses Houston as a corner/safety half the time.

If only the right guy fell. I’m definitely focusing on DL and ILB along with S at 54 and round 3. But you can never have enough corners and couple of these guys have health issues to begin with (Nelson, Amerson and Fuller).

Something that could come out of this is in that weird hybrid shit Sutton does in passing downs Nelson seeing looks at safety as this team rarely shows 4cb looks.

THIS is why I can’t look down on this move at all. There’s something to be said for exploring any and all options to improve the roster, even when it might be difficult to do so (ala the Ragland and Erving trades).

Veach doesn’t seem to be satisfied, not at all.

You're not wrong in the least, Veach made this move to free his hand during the draft

Ford has proven rush ability, combined with injury, willpower and why even keep him next season concerns

Kpass has freakish upside, but is still an extremely raw project until given the chance to prove otherwise... we'll see

It seems inevitable that we take an edge rusher either through the draft or free agency, there are too many question marks to be ignored there

The CB corp appears to be set now, that can only mean Veach is now ready to focus elsewhere... like OLB, DL and just maybe safety

[BryanBusby]

For 2.5 base, it's worth the gamble.

Pugs, it's a fine move, but don't get your hopes up here. Amerson wasn't good in Washington, and wasn't good in Oakland. End of story to me. Maybe we can pull something out of him, but that's doubtful. Good players don't get passed around to different teams very often. Good players stick with a team or two throughout a career, especially when they're 26 years old.

[BryanBusby]

Except for that period where he was good in Oakland, sure?

[Mother****erJones]

KCs corner group is all under 27. Amerson the old man at 26. I love it

He had a decent season in 2016. Woo. That's it.

He did have that one very good season though in ‘15. What went wrong? I’m not sure, none of us are. It sounds like injuries have been detrimental to his play the past two seasons along with some misusage.

I've kinda skimmed the thread and noticed you had a lot to say is all. I just want you to temper the expectations with him. Be excited for Fuller, yes. But Amerson, nah. Make him prove it before any kind of hope.
