Chiefs Chiefs moves this off-season (So far)

TLO · 03-19-2023, 07:21 PM

I normally like individual threads for discussion topics, but I've been quite busy over the past few weeks and haven't kept up on all the releases, signings?, etc.

Does anyone have a list we can just post in this thread to see what has happened so far?

There was another thread like this created but the OP didn't keep it up and it lacked info so it's fallen away.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for

Thanks wilson8

smithandrew051 · 03-20-2023, 08:07 AM

My guess is that we add DL depth with a cheap vet or two, then hit it hard in the draft. A safety somewhat early wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I expect us to add an OT early in the draft. OL is otherwise pretty set.

I think we grab a vet WR and draft one early.

Really solid looking roster overall.

Skyy God · 03-20-2023, 09:40 AM

WR - JuJu gone, Hardman and Watson TBD. Obvious downgrade
OT - OBJ and Wylie gone. Taylor in. Pretty neutral
DE - Frank out, Charles O in. Upgrade.
LB - Tranquil is an upgrade over Harris.
S - Thornhill out, Edwards in. Edwards a year younger and a ball hawk. Upgrade.

oldman · 03-20-2023, 09:41 AM

Thanks Wilson, it sure makes it a lot easier to see the holes.

I agree we probably need a 4th S. I wouldn't be surprised to see Watson come back at WR and Nnadi for beef at DT. Both Ross guys at WR have my attention. John Ross is a burner with an injury history, but still a former 1st rounder. Justyn Ross is a big guy that had some health issues, but still looked pretty good in his 1st 2 years at Clemson.

There will have to be some changes here.
1. I really, really expect Jerick McKinnon to be re-signed but it is possible some team pays more money for him.
2. Andy will have to have a fullback and usually a veteran, but not a lot left on the fa market right now. I really wanted Samaje Perine to fill the roll of FB/ST/RB for KC but he signed with Broncos for two years, $7.5M, $3M fully guaranteed.
4. Ronald Jones is visiting the Dallas Cowboys today.
5. Other than McKinnon, I don't see the Chiefs signing a free agent running back now.
6. I expect Chiefs to fill the RB need with the draft. After the Isiah Pacheco low round draft success, I think KC tries that route again.

I have seen kccrow mention RB Xazavian Valladay from Arizona State and Wyoming a few times in his past draft mocks. Valladay did really well in the East-West Shrine Bowl. He has some really good college stats - https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb...alladay-1.html yet many mock draft sites don't even list him as a draftable RB this year.

Completely agree. either a low-cost FA safety or a decent draft pick will be needed for the Chiefs.

I've read that Brett Veach was really high on Justin Watson in originally signing him to the Chiefs. The thing I did not like about Watson last year was his 44% catch rate. No better way to kill a drive than not making the catch.

I liked Derrick Nnadi but I felt like he gave very little effort last year. Not sure what was going on. He played in all games but only played 34% of defensive snaps. He also had his career low of 25 tackles.

It will be interesting to see what the Chiefs can get from Kadarius Toney, Justyn Ross, and John Ross. Any success we get from Ross and/or Ross is not expected but will be nice to see. The Chiefs trainers and medical staff will also have to try and keep them healthy.

We have to improve at DT. What do we do here?

Free Agent DTs
Shelby Harris SEA 31 years old
Derrick Nnadi KC 26 years old

I think we have to attack this with the draft.
