Rank the Chiefs needs

[RunKC]

In your opinion. What are your top 4 needs and why? (we have 4 picks in the top 3 rounds)

I'm gonna say in order of importance:

1. OL-Stephenson looked good last Sunday, but LG is terrible. IMO this is what is destroying our offense. No time to throw, no time for receivers to go deep or finish long routes, some problems in the running game (our RB's make to look way better though).

La'El Collins would solidify the left side IMO. He's a beast.

2. Receiver-we have 4 good weapons IMO: Kelce, DAT, Bowe and Charles. It doesn't even have to be a top WR. It could be a TE like Kelce. Get one more quality receiver bc Fasano and every WR after Bowe (except maybe Wilson. He's making the most of his opportunity) sucks.

Owen Daniels would be a solid FA pickup. He was only $1 million this season.

3. DB-sure we have some good guys there, but Abdullah and Parker are nearing 30. Sanders Commings is made of glass so a young safety to add would be helpful.
The Prewitt kid from Ole Miss is awesome, but we would most likely have to get him rd 1.

Is CB a huge need? Sean Smith has been very good this year. Gaines just needs to add strength and he'll be a fine #2 at this pace, Owens did well playing nickel and Cooper is here to develop. That's 4 guys. I'd take a mid rd guy to develop behind them.

4. Pass rusher-we add one every year and will again. Bailey should stay and we have Walker, but insurance for Cat could be needed.

I think we will draft an OLB for depth to prepare for Tamba's departure whether he stays or goes. I'd like to get one rd 3 in the event that we have a future stud to rotate with Ford/Houston and be ready if either gets hurt.

Thoughts?

Sorenson isn't on the team, thankfully, as he sucks

Stephenson was suspended for the first four games of the season. Reid hasn't put him in the starting lineup because Ryan Harris has played well and he doesn't want to mess with chemistry. This does not mean he doesn't have a future with the Chiefs at right tackle.

Sorensen IS on the team and played 12 snaps on Sunday.

Name one reason the Chiefs should pay Eric Berry $8.3 million next year. He's earning $11.6 million this year while injured for most of the season and in his absence, the Chiefs have the #1 pass defense in the NFL.

I've watched almost every Saints game this season (didn't see the Cowboys debacle). I don't think you have,though, if you think the Saints are using Cooks like Reid is DAT.

I like DAT and am glad he is a Chief but he has a long way to go to learn to be an actual receiver. There is a reason he was a 5th round pick while Cooks was a 1st.

Look at this short pass!

Josh Huff has 5 receptions for 42 yards playing for his old college coach in a pass happy offense.

Plus, there is this:

Sanchez's first pick of the day wasn't his fault, as receiver Josh Huff let the ball bounce right off of his hands and into the arms of a Texans' cornerback. The pass was well placed and had Huff caught it, he might still be running.

JOSH HUFF A BETTER VALUE THAN COOKS!!!!

WR, ILB, CB, DE, TE and OG/T.

We need 2 solid guards to take our run game to the next level.
Need another wr. Id perfer a guy with big play ability. But a guy who gets open and catches the ball would be an upgrade.

Need some front 7 help. Maybe djs future replacement. Another end. And a servicable run stuffing nt.

Could also use another toolsy cb like gaines.

But really I think we should just draft the highest celing guy we can at all picks after we get a wr, mlb, and guard. Dont think we need immediate contributions anywhere aside from those spots. We really would have a great lb core with good depth if dj comes back and mays. But I think its too risky to not treat that spot as a need now type of thing.

1: ILB
2: WR
3: DE/OLB
4: OL
5: CB/S

Lol pretty much

[jd1020]

1) WR
2) LG
3) RT
4) RG
5) LT
6) ILB
7) CB
8) DE

[Direckshun]

Assuming we re-sign Hudson and Houston, but not Bailey...

1. WR
2. DE
3. ILB
4. CB
5. OT

I've got a gut feeling that we dump Fasano and draft a TE with one of our first 3 picks. Alex loves TE's and we can run the 3 TE set more effectively. Kelce is the only damn threat we have as a receiver at the position.

Imagine getting another player with skills like him?

I would imagine the Chiefs will take a Tight End with one of their 3rd or 4th round selections. I really liked Crockett Gilmore in the 4th but he went to Baltimore at #99.

That said, I'd rather have Phillip Gaines and DAT than a backup TE.

So you're planning to cut Jeff Allen, another 2nd rounder? What about LDT?

I don't get this obsession with left guard when the Chiefs need receivers, CB's, Defensive lineman and at least one ILB case Mauga can't be re-signed and DJ doesn't recover to at least 90%.
