It's still a horrible move to keep somebody around with that much of a history of coming up short of expectations, particularly when you're trying to shift and change the culture to a defense that's young, tackles well, and plays with hustle. But I think that might explain why we've been very, "Mehhhh... we'll make a move only if it fits the budget" about the entire DL. |

The Chiefs were the third best in the league in hurries per dropback. Only the Bills and Broncos hurried QBs more. They were fourth worst in sacks. Maybe - just maybe - the thinking was that the pass rush wasn't the problem but that blown coverages allowing pressured QBs to get out of trouble was the problem. But no, let's just all say "pressure doesn't matter" en route to a FIFTH consecutive AFC championship. Good god. |

Cook was my least favorite pick but I understood it. I wanted Travis Jones. What we know is Cook has excellent athleticism (4.45 40), size and physicality. I don’t know if it’s gonna translate but we’ll see. He covered the TE pretty well in college. If he can do that in the NFL at even a marginal level it’s a big win.

Citing pressures to hand-waive a shocking lack of sacks doesn’t cut it.

It was looking like a net wash back when the F/A signing period was effectively over. Once draft season started and no trades had been made, or significant signings, it was clear we'd get a 1st round DE followed by a vet of some sort. They'll still be signing a "vet of some sort". It won't be Ingram, but i have no doubts that a Clowney, Houston or Dunlap could come in and provide at least what Ingram did and likely more. And even with that addition, that's still a far cry from a "rebuild of the DL". If the plan is to add 1 vet and then call it good, then this isn't a rebuild. It's effectively the same damn DL + a rookie. Now, we can't rule out the possibility of both a vet F/A acquisition AND a trade. If we add one Vet, it's lackluster. If they could add say....a Clowney/Houston/Dunlap AND trade for Quinn....well now got something. At least for this season.

Again - even if you want to cite pressure rates as dispositive, Ingram was easily our most consistent and reliable source of those once he arrived.

The whole defense was shit outside of like 3 players. Secondary was terrible, DL was terrible. Neimann was terrible. Then we also had to fix the WR core after Tyreek left. There’s only so much you can do in one offseason. But hey think of it this way: how bad would it be if we hadn’t traded Tyreek and had the resources to fix a lot of this shit?

A 2nd rounder is DAMN aggressive there. And defensible IF you have your DL shored up. We don’t.

Many of us tried to tell you that safety was probably a bigger need than you thought going into the draft.

I don’t they “aren’t happy with him” currently, but even if they expect a good year from him, they might be preparing for the possibility that he walks. |
