I don't really have a problem with Fisher and LTD's contracts. They are what they are, Fisher is a little disapppointing as far as the draft capital we invested but his contract doesn't really bother me. I think the Chiefs deserve a lot of credit for the success they have had taking late round guys and turning them into legit NFL starters. LTD was a nice find, and while you may not like what we have to pay him now, you also have to account for the fact that besides his contract we only invested a 5th rounder in that guy. That success story allowed us to use higher pick on other positions. Now we are doing it with McKenzie and Boettger. If we hit on one of those its a huge success and only helps to rebuild that much quicker.

In addition to what a dude's cap number is, its just as important to under stand how all these contracts are slotted. If you look at the Chiefs OL contracts, its clear as day that we are nearing the day when we are going to have to invest in the oline with a high draft pick. I would rather spend one of ou two 2nd round picks on a olinemen next year than putting it off and be forced to use a first rounder in 2020.

The Chiefs Oline isn't sexy, but for what we are paying in contract and what we have invested in draft picks, its actually pretty damn good in regards to that level of investment. With a franchise QB now in house, it only makes sense to spend draft capital (like 2,3,4 round picks) on the oline than trying to address it in free agency. Fisher, Schwartz and LTD are the core, hopefully Mackinze or Boettger are diamonds in the rough, but I think we are going to need to draft a legit center next year. Frankly I would have loved to have gotten James Daniels in the 2nd round this year. We would have been set.
