He’ll sniff the field now that he’s healthy. 2018 was a wasted year for a lot of guys including Speaks.

Speaks was not bad his rookie year. Showed some flashes at least, considering he was forced to play out of position for the worst DC in the NFL.
I think Spags and Daly will get the most out of him, especially now that it looks like he’s improved his body. Doubt he’ll ever be anything special but I can see him doing similar to what Kpass did last year, which is quality depth. |

Judging by his weight alone, it appears he's become very serious about his NFL career and I'm excited to see how his conditioning and weight loss translates this season. |

I’m excited for Speaks this year. And the potential of Taco as well, not to mention K-Pass and obviously Clark. We have a lot of talent/potential along the DL.

I still think Taco wins the starting job, but maybe speaks can make a push down the stretch. It's going to be a busy rotation opposite Clark. Okafor, Kpass, Speaks, and Taco. One previous starter, one high draft pick whos flashed, Then KPass and speaks who are both high draft picks, one semi proven one a complete question mark. If Spags and crew do what they did last year and play guys to their potential this could be a salty rotation.

Is there a Kpass highlight or break down from last year? I know he wasnt a pro bowl caliber guy but he made strides. And seemed fierce when he moved inside a few times.

I've hated on Speaks and the Speaks pick quite a bit, but I'll absolutely eat crow if he shows anything this year. And yes, screw Bob Sutton for how he was used. But, I will still never understand the disconnect of taking a player like Speaks when we ran a 3-4 and he had no clear cut position. Unless he was somehow capable of playing 3-4 DE? I doubt it, but something was clearly off.

Pretty clear somebody got into his ass about how he showed up last off-season. Don't think he's getting much interior DL time since we already have at least 5 guys in that mix, but he could get some serious playing time at Strong Side DE provided Kpassagnon doesn't end up there.

This guy seemed to be the epitome of "give him time to develop". Hell, i thought he'd have a solid season LAST season till he got hurt.

Again, I'm not completely familiar with the circumstances, but I seriously doubt management knew they were firing Sutton the day they drafted Speaks. But Maybe someone who knows the details better than me can explain what happened. |

So while we don't have direct, definitive evidence that the Chiefs knew Bob wasn't long for this team, we can put 2+2 together. Veach is a "Plan ahead" guy and Reid wanted a 4-3. Reid then went and hired a 4-3 guy.
