That is accurate. That Kyle Williams.
2018 is the last year on Conley's contract, Cain gives the Chiefs an option. Hell Cain might not even get that much playing time in 2018 if Robinson and/or Chesson develop. The Chiefs don't mind developing a player they have a ton of faith in. |

Good grief. If Conley has a 600-800 yard season, he'll be re-signed because he's an excellent blocker. |

The core is in place. Williams is a rotational guy here.

Good Lord....why would the Chiefs put that much of a cap hit on the back end?
3 more years of Smith? If they were gonna do that, there was no reason to trade up for Mahomes. Epic Fail. |

Look, we are either going to trade Smith, or let him stick around for his final year. The idea of extending him is just silly now that Mahomes is here.
What we are attempting is really what Seattle did when they struck gold with Wilson. You have five years with a steeply discounted QB. That cheap QB allows us to pay guys like Peters, Berry, and Houston. I think you are fooling yourself if you think Mahomes sits for two whole years. Year two he will have a vet oline, young stud RB, stud TE, dynamic deep threat in Hill. Oh and everything we have on defense. Guys, now is the time. There will never be a better time to hand the keys over to a talented dynamic QB. |

They had better trade Mahomes before a Smith extension is announced to maximize his value.

Go back to the drawing board D. Start with the Alex Smith decision and work from there.
Oh, that and Deon Cain is probably a top 20 pick. Last edited by kccrow; 09-20-2017 at 04:46 PM.. |

I should maybe recant on Cain being top-20, although I do think he's 1st round if he runs well. He doesn't have great stat lines, but he can get deep, is elusive, and has great hands.
I really wish there were a way to get into the top 20 though, for Tyquan Lewis. Kid is gonna be purrdy good. |

I have to agree with kccrow on this one, Direckshun. Any mock that begins with the assumption that we would not only keep Alex but EXTEND him is absolutely senseless.
That's too much money tied up that could be put to far better uses for this team when the future of Kansas City quarterbacking is just sitting there on the ****ing bench. Mahomes is smart. He's not a butt****ing moron like Tyler Bray. Andy Reid has confirmed just as much. Yeah, it takes that four years to MASTER his playbooks, but it's not like Mahomes can only run 25% of the plays just because he's been integrated in the system for a year. One year is plenty of time for him to have achieved a suitable understanding of NFL timing and operations within the offense. No, he won't be nearly as proficient as Alex in year 2, but he's not going to be drowning out there by any means. Plus an entire year is a lot of time for him to have picked up tips and refined his instincts to not be such a crazy nutcase out there always rolling out and not protecting himself as a passer or a ball carrier in certain circumstances. A downgrade in the short term is NOT a good reason to flush $20 million down the toilet and waste the current affordability of our QBOTF. An Alex Smith extension makes zero sense no matter HOW good he plays. Not even a Super Bowl victory is a good enough reason to keep him around. |

If that's the case, we've got no cap space. Cutting Hali doesn't save us enough to keep the players we want to keep, and I don't want to cut DJ. So you can extend Bailey (which lowers his cap hit in 2018), extend DJ some so his cap hit in 2018 goes down, Terrance Mitchell won't cost that much in 2018... But Alex Smith is still going to price us out. So if you extend him this offseason, his cap hit drops dramatically in 2018, and you can sign him for a deal that STILL makes him trade worthy in 2019. So, yes, I'm doing a little mad scientist shit here. I'm extending my Super Bowl QB so I can trade him in 2019. Outside the box thinking that probably would never fly, but that's never stopped me before. |
