Clark and Reid probably both agreed that a switch back to a 4-3 would be a more copacetic tandem with Andy's vision for the team, and that BDB had proven itself a road to nowhere for the Chiefs. My best guess is that Andy, with Clark's blessing, began a dialogue with Spags and maybe some of the other names you mentioned probably around February or March of 18, just trying to get a casual feel for who might have interest. And armed with enough feelers to move forward, instructed Veach to start acquiring the talent necessary. Even if those players might struggle or could only be used effectively in certain packages for the time-being, they would be in the house, signed, and have a full season as Chiefs under their belts in preparation for what was coming down the pike. |

So they got players that didn't fit scheme and wasted a whole season?

If that was at all true they would have switched last year if they thought it would have been a wasted year anyways.

If that's how you choose to look at it. I don't think that's quite accurate. i do think that it does appear that there was a pretty major groundshift happening with both the offense and the defense; and that perhaps Reid didn't want to completely change both in the same offseason, preferring to manage the offensive change with Mahomes-and nobody thought he was going to be THAT good THAT soon. I don't think they were talking to other coaches behind Sutton's back or anything, but I think a change to the 4-3 was something they were thinking about last offseason. |

Or maybe Veach is a moron who wanted to put square pegs in to round holes? Yeah, I buy that even less. |

And when you look at it from THAT perspective, the only reasonable perspective available at the time, it's makes PERFECT sense. There is no one in all of mankind who expected the Chiefs to come out swinging gangbusters with a first year starter at QB. Only by the time time pre season is wrapping up could you have anything resembling some certainty that things MIGHT be better than you anticipated, but even then it's not a given. |

Speaks wasn’t as bad as people thought as OLB. Nnandi was really good at NT and DE and DOD fit the money backer position extremely well aka be a LB sized safety. |

Maybe one player that fit the scheme better makes a play to win the afccc. They should've traded up a couple more spots and taken a db instead of speaks. |

So the first three years of mahomes was one where he sat on the bench, the second a transition year for the offense and the third a transition year for the defense. If that's true then that is absolutley disgusting
