This list seems wrong.

Did you watch the AFCG and the Super Bowl?

Nelson is a really good slot corner. He’s just not a good outside corner and gets outmatched by better receivers.He doesn’t have deep speed, but is quick, physical and is a good tackler. He’s also the only younger corner hitting free agency that’s any good, so supply and demand will get him 10-12m per when he’s probably only worth 6 or 7 max.

It’s gonna be interesting to see what KC does at CB this offseason. Imo they need to extend Fuller now...and make a move in FA or the draft for a difference making #1 corner.

The real work needs to happen at safety, though. All of our safeties should be jettisoned.

He was targeted so often because QBs knew they could pick on him.

this.

the whole "well he was targeted so many times" argument is ****ing dumb.

well he was targeted for a reason. QB's will always look to exploit weakest link.

and if it works...don't stop til they can prove they can stop it.

A little. But when your team sees 60% more passing plays than some teams - you can see why the Chiefs defense and Nelson gave up so many yards.

So Nelson > Ramsey?

If that were the case, the completion % and passer rating against him would be MUCH better, but it wasn’t.

So many of you are missing this point.

Ah.. true.

Yards?

Let's look at it this way; More targets means more opportunities for the defender to make a game-defining play. Forget yards. Ask yourself how many significant "game-defining" or "game-changing" plays did Nelson make last year? Or any of our d-backs, for that matter.

The law of averages works both ways.

You both are wrong on Nelson.

All I know is he has zero ball awareness. Teams had to have plays lined up for 3rd and long, chuck it deep to his side and hope they call a PI.

Apparently, you aren't a good QB if you don't have it.

Well...I think the big takeaway from this list is that you should NEVER go after CB's in free agency because the position is OVERVALUED to the point where a mediocre corner is gonna get like $15m a year.

**** that. Draft a CB every year and just turn and burn.

CB and WR are both positions where you should throw numbers at the problem because many of them can contribute on special teams while you're trying to figure out exactly what they can give you at their 'primary' positions. Tremon Smith is a good example of that thought in action. Hell, Tyreek Hill is in that category.

You don't have to hit often to make it worthwhile; If you can find a late round or UDFA guy every 2-3 years that will give you a couple of solid seasons after being coached up, you're well ahead of the game.
