Chiefs focused on Mahomes, McCaffrey, and Cunningham in RD1

I have said Mahomes to KC for awhile. They love him and I've heard the rumblings as well.

I prefer this BUMP over my absolute dogshit take on McCaffery. I was all in on Mahomes well before this too.

When people say, "McCaffrey is a fit for our offense," they're ignoring the fact that we'd be continuing to feed Alex more short yardage binkies for him to suck on while we need first downs in playoff games.

I don't want to give Alex any more ****ing weapons until he properly uses the ones he's got right the **** in front of him.

What I say to the idea of giving Alex a short yardage YAC target like McCaffrey:

That makes no sense.. more weapons the merrier

If you give Alex Smith a Donnie Avery, Dwayne Bowe, bad OL, Jamaal Charles offense, he'll give you 3500 yards, ~20 TDs, and single digit INTs.

If you give Alex Smith a Jeremy Maclin, Travis Kelce, and some OL, he'll give you 3500 yards, ~20 TDs, and single digit INTs.

If you give Alex Smith a dynamic playmaking deep threat like Tyreek Hill and some better WRs plus an elite RT in free agency, he'll give you 3500 yards, FEWER than 20 TDs, and single digit INTs.

Those resources you use to get him weapons could be used to get some more dynamic passrushers, a 2nd shutdown CB, a replacement for DJ at ILB

I used to grow up in Vikings country. They used to have a short yardage guy named Leroy Hoard. The fans used to say this about him: "If you need 1 yard, Leroy Hoard will give you 2 yards. If you need 3 yards, Leroy Hoard will give you 2 yards."

That's who Alex is. No matter what.

You would think, but it's not so.

The weapons around Smith have increased exponentially since his arrival yet his production hasn't.

He's gone from Bowe, Avery and Fasano to Maclin, Hill and Kelce yet it's had negligible impact on his ability to produce points/yards. His line has improved significantly to no real effect as well.

At this point Smith has a top 10 OL and top 5 skill position players, IMO and with that he's been able to accomplish pretty much the same whole lotta meh that he was able to accomplish when he was surrounded with rags.

There's no sense at all in throwing more draft capital at woobies for Alex Smith; there's nothing out there that will appreciably raise his ceiling.

Reid's offenses have been full of players like mcaffrey. Westbrook, McCoy and Charles. They're critical to Reid's offense. Alex Smith or not, having mcaffrey would be good for the offense.

Gonn have to trade up ahead of the Texans for Mahomes.

Good, we have 10 picks and about 5 needs so do it.


Also I would much rather draft a QB and him fail this year than watch us pass on the chance and see him succeed just like Carr, Rodgers and Wilson.

I'm pretty much against drafting a RB in the first round not matter what, let alone trading up for one. Obviously a specific circumstance can change that but RB's relative to other positions are just too easy to find to trade up for one in the first.

Quite frankly out of all the RB's I would like in this order.

1. Mixon - a 3 down back
2. Cook - a 3 down back
3 McAffery- situational RB

Since the league saw the success of TH a supposed problem child pan out so far look for Mixon to possibly go as high as late first rd, more like the 2nd and no further than the 3rd. Yes I get everyone's point about other needs and with RBs being deep this year why take one early BUT Mixon and Cook are special backs and especially Mixon. If we traded out of the 1st and took Mixon in the 2nd I am a happy camper and if we took him in the 1st at 27 I'm okay with it. Just saying.

[Kiimo]

Especially one who has bust written all over him.

I've got a bad feeling the top 3 QBs are gone by pick 13. I think AZ is the firewall for Mahomes. I'm going to assume the asking price to move up from 27 to 10-12 is a 1st and 2nd this year and a 1st next year. If they really love Mahomes they should pull the trigger.

Now if he makes it past AZ the next hurdle is beating Houston's trade offer. Us having a second rounder and theirs being traded away could have a big impact on if we land Mahomes or not.

Very true !! Ballard will do us right then because why would he want to face Mahomes if he does pan out 2wice a year?

Houston still has their 2nd rounder this year. They traded their 2018 2nd round pick to Cleveland.
