Boy it looks like the Chiefs really don't like their CB room

[Mecca]

On top of claiming Eric Scott

They also placed claims on Shemar Bartholomew and Sam Womack III. Even though they were only awarded 1 because of other teams placing 3 claims on corners is telling.

[MahomesMagic]

I think Veach is going to use most of the cap space trading for a veteran corner in season.

[RealSNR]

They don't like the dudes at the bottom. And to be honest, I didn't see anything all that great out of the double last name dude. And Nic Jones at times looked like the second coming of Bartee with his inability to turn his goddamn head. But the rest of them?

If they stay healthy, there's a zero percent chance this Scott guy gets more snaps than Watson, Williams, and Johnson.

Oh, and McDuffie, but that was obvious.

Watson and Williams are fine, IMO.

But reading between the lines sounds like Spags is begging Veach for more.

Always love a Bartee reference. Any love for Warfield? Crispy and Toasty.

Are you saying that Sneed might turn into Tennessee's Carlton Gray?

[Icon]

At this point we have a stud in McDuffie and then a bunch of guys. Hopefully, one of them will step up; preferably Joshua Williams because of this length and speed. We will definitely miss Sneed.

[Bump]

Watson and Williams always seemed pretty good and people have been saying that Nazeeh Johnson is the next Deion Sanders or something.

[Sassy Squatch]

Not surprising. Nazeeh Johnson isn't going to hold up at the NFL level and Kelvin Joseph was a waste of time. Pretty sure they had high hopes for both players and unfortunately they're complete non factors.

We needed to pay Creed Humphrey 19m a year so we couldn't pay Sneed 16M a year. This was very important.

Yeah. Unless his knee really is on the verge of imploding I don't agree with that decision at all. Sneed was key to making this defense elite.

[RealSNR]

Here's an inaccurate thought experiment because I know this isn't how the league works, but just go with it.

Let's say you can only pick one:

-Pay Sneed a big contract now on the eve of our 3-peat
-Pay McDuffie in a couple seasons when it's his turn

I'd rather pay McDuffie. I think he'll be that much better than Sneed, if he's not already.

Watson and Nazeeh coming off big injuries but Conner did look good in the slot last season.

I think we’ll be okay but will struggle early at CB3/CB4

We have to pay McDuffie, he's a different breed. The only situation where it would be okay to let him go would be a blockbuster trade. But I'd prefer we just pay him some big money when the time comes.

With the caveat that I don’t think it’s an either or, I’m not convinced McDuffie will ever be the full lockdown guy Sneed was last year on WR1s (but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a better career holistically). And I would’ve preferred to go a touch more all in for the 3-peat and let Sneed play on that tag.
