I don't think the Chiefs are getting Tannehill. He's winning the starting job in Tenn at this rate, but you could easily just change that to Mariota.
Solid overall though. |

I wouldn’t necessarily hate that though either. He could teach the kid how to be a serviceable QB and trade that fool. You comment about Jones wasn’t anything ground Breaking obviously but it got me to thinking, I like him out there. Since he’s shown the flexibility to do it well, I’m thinking that increased his value to us, despite maybe lowering his production on the big explosive plays. Plus him not throwing a fit about the money has endeared himself to me. Am I off base here? |

And I think Chris Jones is going to make this board completely bipolar come the offseason. While I like his ability to generate a pass-rush, his freelancing and assignment breakdowns are a major thorn on how Spagnulo wants to run his system. And his system is super dependent on guys doing their roles as expected vs a werthers Defense of "eh yeah **** it, just do something or something." I think there's possibility that he brings more value to this team as a trade asset than a long-term asset. While I'm sure posters will line up to shout this down all day and night long on how he's just irreplaceable!!!! I think a tag and trade on Jones is exactly what one of the smarter F.O.'s would do. |

I agree with Busby on both fronts. Whether it is Tannehill or Mariota, if whoever the Titans let walk doesn't get interest as a starter, I think you trying to bring one in to rehab and be a premium backup.
As for Jones, I think he's a far greater trade asset at this point in time than he is anything. This defense plays at it's best without him on the inside, which is unfortunate. He has some gap discipline issues that I'm not certain are correctable. He's better as a 3-4 DE for someone. Trade him for the picks. I got harrassed in the other thread on compensation, but if I can get at least a high 2nd (top 40) pick and another day 2 pick with either a player or a 2021 pick, I'm more than fine with that return. I think it's entirely possible a 3-4 team would give that up. |

That’s fair. What numbers would you guys be comfortable re-signing him?

What I tried to do in this mock was play around with the thoughts that the Chiefs could re-sign Jones and still do some things. I think they can, but my version relies on KC cutting Hitchens, which is something they may not do. Playing with it did give me some perspective. The players don't all have to be the same, nor the choices on how to go about filling holes. There's enough money there to do what should be done if they choose to do it. |

You may want to reference what the top linebackers are getting recently. Schobert is a top 3 LB in the NFL without question or hesitation. If you're not on board with spending that much on a LB, I can get that, but he's going to require that if he hits the market. Littleton will probably cost 12+ per.

Not that stats are the end-all, but let's just compare the 3 guys you listed this season through 11 games. A. 96 tkl (52 solo) 3 tfl 0 sk 0 qb hit 9 pd 2 int B. 96 tkl (69 solo) 6 tfl 2 sk 4 qb hit 9 pd 4 int C. 105 tkl (54 solo) 5 tfl 2 sk 3 qb hit 3 pd 0 int Tell me which one is which. Edit: forgetting to mention he's the best coverage linebacker in the game today Last edited by kccrow; 12-01-2019 at 09:32 PM.. |

I like Schobert wouldn't be upset with that.
I would also be interested in a RB. |

He’s good to very good — with the very good part talking predominantly about zone coverage. |

I don't like the idea of replacing one high priced FA linebacker with another and then totally ignoring it in the draft. I think that we would be better to draft a couple of linebackers and sign a lower prices free agent linebacker.
