Jeremy Cash is getting wrist surgery, idk if that affects his draft placement for you.

Not at all, probably to remove a bone chip. It doesn't really concern me with any player except for maybe QBs. One thing that worries me more about my placement of him is that Mel Hairper slid him up to his 2nd rated safety. That probably means there's a feeling he's going 1st round or very early 2nd.

Been thinking about some things... questions...


1. Give me some thoughts on drafting a mid-round tackle versus a high round tackle. I'm especially interested in some thoughts on UK OT Jordan Swindle (round 4).

2. Is it important to invest a high pick in a backup pass rusher?

3. Is CB as big of an issue as I've seen it made out to be with Peters and Gaines as the starters, Nelson with a year under his belt as the 3rd CB, and the likelihood that KC will at least invest a mid round pick on the position? That is, do the Chiefs really need to spend a 1st or 2nd round pick there?

4. Are you comfortable with the offensive guard situation if Allen is re-signed?

5. With Ron Parker set to make over 5 million in 2017 and over 7 million in 2018 and 2019 as well as the masses wanting to re-sign Eric Berry, which will likely cost 9-10 million per year, there will be future camp implications. Why should safety not be a priority thought given the need for time to develop draft picks?

Not a fan of burning a 4th rounder on a QB. There is still more value there at other positions. Almost feels like you picked a QB just to say you did.

A 3rd rounder. On a legitimate prospect. Because the depth behind Alex is scary. Oh, and there is always better value at other positions about 99% of the time.

My mistake. A third rounder. I am one that believes our window is closing with Charles, Hali, Johnson, Berry, etc. We know what we have in A. Smith and have acquired Macklin.

IMO...We need to draft more BPA talent to try to take advantage of this window. If we could hit on another pick like Peters and Ford somehow replicates his effort from last week on a continuous basis then we have a chance, albeit small, to make a run next season. Of course, many other aspects of your plan have to occur as well such as keeping key players.

The wheels are about to fall off this bus when we lose Hali, Johnson, Charles, Berry, Smith, etc. It's time to push the accelerator to the floor and see what this thing can do.

I've never believed in the BPA only approach. In general, I believe in the BPA in a position of need or near future need (1 year forward). It also is the theory that realistically gets practiced in the NFL. Let's say I had Joe Thomas and Andre Smith as bookend tackles, and I had both locked up for the next 3 seasons, then I probably wouldn't take a tackle in round 1 even if that was the best player on my board. I would, however, try to trade out of that spot to a team that does need a tackle right now.

Example this year:
So, while backup pass rusher is a need, a starting pass rusher doesn't look to be an immediate need. That being said, it is doubtful I'd pick a pass rusher in rounds 1 or 2.

I do otherwise agree with you that the Chiefs need to take advantage of the window of having some star players at some positions and begin filling out the rest of the roster adequately.

I just reviewed your financial cap movements and I took out Hammond and Matthews.
That's leads to $24.255m money spent. We have $33.498m in projected cap space, so that would give us $9.693m left.

I would cut Grubbs and Fanaika with a June 1st designation to save $2.467m and cut Cooper and Commings (we just did) saving $1.258m.
Then I would restructure Colquitt pushing his money to a bonus for an extra year saving $2m. I don't think anybody would mind having him here through 2018.

That would give us $15.418. That's plenty to give Sean Smith $8m next year.

You're forgetting that you are going to tie up between 6 and 7 million in your draft class and that you want to retain a couple million for wiggle room to pick a guy up in season if need be. Wave goodbye to your 9.693 million.
