Chiefs Pull the ripcord at CB?

Our current depth chart projection at CB, courtesy of Kent Swanson of AP Lab:

Here's a 53 man guess for right now. Could see movement at safety, linebacker, receiver and running back in regard to numbers kept. Ignore where I have Niemann. He's not a MIKE but 4 under WILL looked weird. pic.twitter.com/IOfyZnIrBO

Outside: Bashaud Breeland
Outside: Charvarius Ward
Slot: Kendall Fuller
Backups: Keith Reaser, Rashad Fenton, Mark Fields
Practice Squad: D'Montre Wade, Tremon Smith

This was before training camp. In the two days since it's started, Breeland has suffered a relatively minor injury, and the rest of the squad has played... not great.

Now for a much less positive tweet: the cornerback position terrifies me. It's early obviously, but it's not good.

So... is it time to pull the ripcord?

We know the Vikings are stacked at CB, and Trae Waynes could be a valuable asset.
We also know the Giants are desperate at WR now, and there's a rumor they're eyeballing Demarcus Robinson. Their CB depth chart is reportedly okay. But I don't know these guys, other than Janoris Jenkins.

So the Chiefs can't really go out and get a stud at this point, but maybe they can add desperately-needed depth at the position and maybe a starter by trading off a 2020 3rd to the Vikings for Waynes and Robinson for the Giants #3 corner (let's just say -- Eli Apple? -- like I said, I have no idea).

CB depth chart would then be:

Outside: Bashaud Breeland
Outside: Trae Waynes
Slot: Kendall Fuller
Backups: Charvarius Ward, Eli Applie?, Reaser/Wade/Fenton/Fields/Smith

Thoughts?

We ARE stacked at WR...and we DO need help at CB...

It depends what they want, if you can flip a 3 or a 4 it's probably worth it, but also you're probably acknowledging at that point you think Waynes is a 1 because if you don't why would you trade for a guy you have to pay?

FringeNC · 07-29-2019, 07:07 AM

Reggie Ragland appears to be the weakest starter on that list, not the CB position.

Who would you target from the Giants?

I don't see NO trading Apple back to NY so he can be traded here.

we're in big trouble at CB and LB

Yet we’re better at both than we were at this point last year.

Better than bad doesn't equal good

We were inches away from the SB with the absolute shit we had last year. This doom and gloom bs about our CB/LB situation is reeruned.

O.city · 07-29-2019, 07:31 AM

I don't think i'd mess with Waynes, he's any better than what we have.

I'd look for cuts or flip someone we're gonna cut for someone that someone else is gonna cut.

If i'm trading for something, it's a big fish and I doubt they do that.

No, but you keep saying "it's better than last year" like that really matters?

Sucks that Peterson got dinged, I'm not sure I still wouldn't try and trade for him though. You'd have him fresh for the stretch run.

It doesn’t matter that it’s better? That makes sense.

I’ve been trying to be patient with you lately but you’re making it harder and harder. You’re such a butt****ing moron at times. Good grief.
