Plus, this gives KC the versatility to play Eric Murray at either safety or corner.

It's too bad KC can't just delete that extension they gave to Sorenson...

You fired up to give a 31 year old Ron Parker $6 million next season? I like Parker and think he's earned every dollar of his deal, but you have to have a contingency in place for him and single-high isn't an easy spot to fill. It was going to take a serious draft pick, a lot of money or a change in scheme to deal with Parker's age/salary as early as next season.

With this kind of value on the board, it was a perfect time/place to handle it.

That's kinda what I was thinking.

Maybe move Berry back closer to the LOS after 2017 and let Williams take over at single high.

Everybody has different views on Williams, but IMO if he can stay clean off the field he has a real chance to be a James Harrison type player.

His game against LSU sold me on him. It's really the only game where he was able to play all 3 downs and was impressive.

The guy got stupid good pass rush productivity while playing far less than the other edge guys. He very well might be the best pass rusher in this class.

This is the only thing he should be doing. He is not a good tackler, but that's OK. He is a very good center fielder and that is a special skill set.

Heck of a can on McAdams.

I would have taken Tyus Bowser in rd 2 (He's one of my favorite prospects) but I won't bitch.

I would jizz everywhere if this draft happened. Well done Boss

You can definitely make the argument that Williams was BPA, and considering the Parker's age and contract situation, you can certainly justify going S there. Solid pick.

lol... I was swearing about ahole picking Watkins one pick in front of me, so blame him. :)

Drafting the kid makes for an interesting debate.

Where does he fit? Who do you cut? Do you only keep 4 safeties and have Murray take a spot at CB?

KC is in nickel 60-65% of the time and Sutton loves using 3 safeties. Keeping 5 safeties is smart IMO...plus Murray can split time at corner and safety.

When it's all said and done, KC should continue to draft the best players they possibly can and then let Reid and his staff shuffle them around wherever he thinks helps the team the best.

I think you keep 5 safeties and cut Parker next year.

The pick also provides good insurance for when Parker hits the wall (IMO he's a player that depends on his speed to make plays and is coming up on 30, when lots of speed guys lose a step) or for the possibility that Erics cancer returns...or someone gets hurt.
Gotta love the kids talent and what he brings to the defense.

Hey he's a great player I thought we are good at safety I would've gotten a WR really need to do something with O. The D can't keep caring this team forever.

Love the Mahomes pick and Williams though
