What is that a 55 man roster?

Heh. It may be -- a couple years back I decided I wasn't going to worry about 53 men and just load the roster up as I saw fit, and if a couple players need to get cut to make it a 53 man, then so be it.

Start by leaving off Kyle Williams

Why's everybody hating on Kyle Williams?

We've got no cap space! You need to make a couple Moneyball deals here. Kyle Williams is our David Justice.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Can't see Allen Bailey being worth a single 4th round pick, let alone two... might be able to get a 6 or 7 for him. More likely he just gets released outright.

Draft looks plausible.

[OKchiefs]

Hell no to signing Morse to an extension.

[kccrow]

No major issues with the FA section except that I do think you might be selling Jones a bit short at 6 million per based on contracts of late for guys as good as him.


2 (Smith). CB Jaire Alexander, Louisville
I really like this kid alot and if he's there he has to be in the conversation.
2. ILB Tremaine Edwards, Virginia Tech
Probably going round 1.
3. OT/G Maea Teuhema, Southern Louisiana
I like Teuhema here.
4 (Bailey). OLB Hercules Mata’afa, Washington State
Probably going round 2, but I do like him.
4. NT Poona Ford, Texas
Depends on if teams view his height/length as a problem or not. If not, he could go earlier. If they do, he's going later. The Steelers took Hargrave in the 3rd and he's' a very similar player.
6 (Battle). DE DeQuinton Osborne, Oklahoma State
Going for the award for shortest defensive line? I like his quickness and penetration, but I do also take a bit of the pass rushing numbers in the Big 12 with a grain of salt. I think he's worth a shot late like you have him though. I'm just not sure I'd take 2 guys at 6' or less on the D-line.
6. CB Devron Davis, UTSA
Who? :P I'd like him if the Chiefs still ran a press-coverage scheme, but they don't. Davis is horrible in off-man because he simply doesn't have the feet and hips to stick. I don't dislike him, because he's actually pretty damn solid at what he does. What he does doesn't match what the Chiefs do.
6 (Foles). WR Equanimeous St. Brown, Notre Dame
He's going day 2, maybe 4th round, but not late 3. He's got too much to work with for teams to pass for that long.
7 (Cooper). QB Nick Stevens, Colorado State
I understand it's just a 7th round QB so I won't be harsh. Don't like him, at all. Did not look good when forced off his hot read and didn't show much of any ability to ad lib (IT factor I guess it's called these days). Just throws too many really bad footballs (into coverage, nowhere close to his man when open, floats deep balls, etc).
7 (King). some punter
Now this guy, this one right here, he's gonna be a stud.

You’re worse with contracts than Dorsey, Voyager.

Yikes.

I can't see Kyle Williams changing teams at this point in his career.

Plus Andy loves him some Williams. Would dump his ass in a pico second and stick with Conley and Robinson
