Sneed needs to replace Sorensons spot

What the ****?

Their roles and skill sets could not be more different.

We hate all slow and white defensive players...

But let’s not be stupid and remove Sneed from the CB position. He’s been great.

Don't.

Just...don't.

Noah Igbinoghene, the guy we were rumored to really like and wanted at 32, got his ass raped by Stefon Diggs last Sunday.

Rock Ya-Sin, who we wanted the year before, has not done much of anything for the Colts.

Sneed is better than both so far. Couldn’t be happier.

eh?

The first two didn't happen on Veach's watch.

And hell, the Grubbs trade just didn't matter - cost us a 5th, who cares? Guy got hurt, Allen/Fulton picked up the slack and we ended up back where we started, down a 5th round pick.

If Grubbs is the worst move a team makes in any given YEAR, that team's had a good year. That thing damn sure doesn't deserve to be on any 'worst of' lists.

Robinson was a bit of a yikes, I'll grant you. But even he was a veteran free agent who ended up costing less than $5 million. Would you rather NOT pay that to see a guy get roasted alive in the playoffs by TY Hilton? Yes, yes you would. But that was just a product of a damn thin roster. Pioli left the cupboard pretty bare in terms of depth in the secondary.

Pretty defensible decision w/ little long-term damage done to the roster. The issue was that he was needed in the first place and that wasn't an issue of Dorsey/Reid's doing.

.
FYP

Just rewatched the first half of the Chargers game and though I didn't spend a lot of time specifically watching Sneed, I did notice his play several times. Overall he had himself a good game, or half. He did allow some receptions, but he was on Keenan for those, and Keenan is a top 10 or 13 WR, so i can't fault the rookie for that. His recovery speed is great, and more importantly his recognition/read and react skills are really good. Plus, he isn't afraid of contact. He's a very willing tackler. I think we got a steal with this guy if he keeps improving this season. Heck, if he keeps going at this rate he might steal Breeland's job before the season is over.

Not wishing for that, just trying to describe the kid's trajectory so far.

Bumping to give this man his well-earned props. The kid is a ****ing beast.

I just want to give a huge pat on the ****ing back to ME for identifying this guy as a potential steal and nailing the pick to the round in my final mock draft of 2020.

:)

Are we supposed to overlook the other 37 guys you always identify that end up sucking ass?

Like Chris Jones, Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce, Juan Thornhill, Mecole Hardman etc.?

Suck my dick.

I nailed the Willie Gay AND Sneed pick. The Thornhill pick last year. That’s a pattern dude.

Let me know when you’re calling your shot on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks.

*****The L'Jarius Sneed Thread*****
 

LMAO For real.

Sneed is a baller, though. Looks to have a very high ceiling. He’s super athletic and I love that he ain’t afraid to make a tackle.

Oh look another guy talking shit who’s NEVER called their shot on a prospect/pick!

LMAO

Anybody that pays attention to the draft forum knows I know my shit by now. You 2 don’t have a ****ing clue.

Wasn't there some speculation that we could make a move for Howard in the past? A damn shame that never worked out.

I think the rumor that he was on the trade block was BS in the first place.

You know, it's actually Fitzpatrick I'm thinking of. There's been rumors about the Dolphins offloading Howard ever since he signed that deal but we were actually somewhat engaged in trying for Fitzpatrick IIRC.

I don’t “call shots” because I don’t give a shit about patting myself on the back later.

Only insecure sissies give a shit about making accurate predictions or checking their thumbs up/thumbs down like you.

LMAO

Yea I’m just so insecure. It’s not that I’m very passionate about the draft and do a lot of homework and enjoy seeing my team win SB’s with guys that I pounded the table for. It’s just that I’m insecure!

Sneed/Baker/Fenton looking like it could be a damn good corner group next year on the cheap. Whats the word on Baker haven't heard a lot. Is the thought he will be here next year? Sneed just an absolute stud what a hit by Veach. Keep bringing in players like Sneed and Gay on that defense. Run like the wind and not afraid of laying freaking wood.

Baker hasn’t done shit yet and why are you getting rid of Ward?

Last I checked Ward is a free agent. We will see what kind of contract he demands. Id be hesitant to pay him. Clearly Baker hasnt done shit. Veach brought him in for a reason though.

They brought him in because they were gonna draft him if CEH wouldn't have fallen to us.

Pretty sure he’s a RFA

My clean record speaks for itself

What about your record on potential trades?

;)

He is, I would think he’d be a 2nd round tender all day.

To go into next year with 4 potential starter level CBs for so cheap is a no-brainer. Especially when we won’t have really any money to spend on outside improvements.

3 picks, 7 passes defended and a sack in only 8 games.

This guy is better than all of the 1st rd corners taken. Right now this looks like the steal of the entire draft

Looking a hell of a lot better than Okudah in Detroit, never would have seen that coming. The guy was an absolute steal. If he hadn't been injured I think he would be in contention for DROY.

Spot on. If they were planning to sign Ward to any sort of long term deal I feel like Veach would've had it done by now. We will see how it plays out.

You are though. No one who feels the need to pat themselves on the back as much as you do is secure. You check and complain about your rep/thumbs up-down like a 14 year old girl on Instagram and you've threatened other members with physical violence when arguments don't go your way.

Let's face it, dude, you're kind of a puss.

LMAO:LOL:ROFL

Detroit is such a shit organization it's tough to gauge at this point.

There seems to be something about Spag's system that makes it easy on CBs. On the surface it appears we're really maxing out production from guys like Ward, Breeland, and Fenton despite having an invisible pass rush of late.

When the **** have I ever complained about rep or thumbs down? LMAO

You’re so full of shit it’s unbelievable.

I, one time, pointed out that more people agreed with me than you due to upvotes/downvotes and now you’ve created this narrative that I’m obsessed with it.

Talk about insecure, you brought up rep and up/down votes in this discussion (probably because somebody upvoted my posts) not me LMAO

Just like the claim that I am constantly missing on prospects, this is baseless bullshit.

Is it selfish or greedy to hope for a second LJ sneed style prospect in this years draft? This guys been a bamf.

I'd take a Jared Allen type in the 4th round again

Or a Rich Scanlon type in rookie free agency!

plz stahp

Add in Baker and I'm fine with standing pat at the position, which is surprising considering how much I've bitched about cornerback. Maybe Keyes provides something in year 2. Sneed, Ward, Fenton, Keyes, and maybe some cheap FA or another late draft pick is not bad at all, especially if they can find a pass rush.

Dude has 2 picks in what? 6 games played this year? Need moar guys like him w/hands.

The guy needs to play all of the snaps. But all of our corners have been good to be honest. Most surprising group.

Dudes going to be special.

He needs to replace Ward

They need to keep ward , for when breeland leaves

Another study in stupidity of suggesting that any position (outside of QB) has to be drafted "high." Excellent players can be found throughout, and even outside of, the draft.

Chiefs’ improved discipline on defense in full display vs. Saints: Film review

by

Seth Keysor

He’s a star.

If Thornhill has a bounce back year next season, and Baker gets coached up, our secondary will be in great shape for the next few seasons.

And we have but one person to thank for his being awesome.

staylor26, thank you.

I'm convinced he's our best CB. He should play all the snaps and be CB1 from now on. Maybe that ruggles a vets feathers like Breeland but I dont care.

LMAO

In all seriousness, who's got greater potential- Sneed or Gay?

I'm inclined to say Sneed but Gay does have all of the physical tools to be an elite LB.

Just a reminder that I didn’t just nail the Sneed pick, it was both of those guys.

:)

Just luck though, right?

Actually, yes. There is clearly an element of luck involved in talent evaluation.

Those were good calls, though, and I have no issue with the occasional "Damn, check this out. I nailed this prediction." type of posts, but you clearly have some insecurity you need to work through with your constant need to praise yourself for your successful calls.

Plus, like I said, you're wrong fairly frequently. Off the top of my head, you got indignant with DaFace recently when he suggested CEH might not play/get a heavy workload prior to the recent Broncos game. You assured us that he was good to go and would get a normal workload- he didn't even touch the ball that game, IIRC.

You and I also had a similar exchange before the season about CEH's production. You were upset that I said it wasn't likely for Clyde to score 11 TDs as RunKC predicted, citing the fact that "LeSean McCoy's corpse scored 5 TDs last season". Well, CEH's season is over and he finished with only 4 TDs despite a near-feature back role for a majority of the season.

Yea and Thornhill the year before too! Not to mention pounding the table for Kelce, Hunt, and Jones. All just luck! LMAO

I never said I wasn’t wrong or haven’t been wrong about anything in the past. We were talking specifically about talent evaluation and the draft and you guys claimed that I’m always wrong about other prospects. Now you’re moving the goalposts entirely. The truth is my draft takes are usually spot on and it’s obvious to anybody that has been paying attention to the draft forum for the last several years.

And about CEH not having 11 TD’s, I didn’t see our OL being the absolute worst in the league. That obviously changed everything in regards to CEH’s production, and in particular in the red zone.

Chiefs have the #1 Sneed in the playoffs

Alright, I guess you weren't speaking to me then because I never said that.

That’s what O.City said and you quoted him in agreement, hence why I questioned your ability to evaluate talent.

Spags and his staff have been incredible with this secondary.

Ward has played better than before he was with Spags, Matheiu is putting up his best numbers with him, Thornhill was awesome when healthy, Fenton was a goddamn steal and now Sneed?

Hats off to these guys. Just incredible

I might have quoted him but I would never agree with what I bolded. You'll notice you've never even seen me in the draft forum or any prospect threads because I don't follow college ball, which means I wouldn't be able to make that determination.

You're very active in arguments all over the board. You've claimed multiple times that you're "right more often than you're wrong" and I probably challenged that declaration.

He goes back and edits his posts to make it look like he as a clue. Don’t fall for it.

LMAO

Oh I still believe that I’m right more often than I’m wrong in general, but that doesn’t mean I’m never wrong.

This guy was a 4th rd steal!

Great work Veach and company!

Teams are now picking on Ward because they know Sneed is too good to pick on.

Great pick and he has balled all year including yesterday. Our ROTY by a landslide.

This guy was nails yesterday. Getting good play out of your rookies is how you keep a dynasty going.

Mack Lee Award should go to Sneed.

It's kind of crazy how well-rounded he already is. In a season in which he had no offseason, no preseason, and missed several weeks due to injury, he is potentially our second best defensive back.

He's got great length and speed, plays coverage well, is excellent in run support, and he's a really good blitzer.

Sneed shut Landry down all day. Unless I’m missing something (I often am) all of Landry’s catches were on other defenders.

Sneed has become a shutdown CB.

Our best CB and it's not particularly close. And our other CB's are decent. That's how good he's been

Baller! The CB steal of the draft.

dude is a ****in stud
