Chiefs looking for a pass rusher?
Not sure if any smoke here or no? |

Just evidently not Ogbah. I'd be most intrigued by Carl Lawson, I think. I'd need to know more about what happened in 2023 but in 2022 he was still a viable starting caliber DE and at 29 he may still have another season or two left in the tank. |

Lawson would be my choice as well. He kinda brings something we don't have but to be fair, that doesn't seem like something they value.

I mean they drafted Karlaftis AND FAU. Those guys are clearly very different players. They paid for Danna, who represents something of a middle ground between the two. It seems at this point, perhaps through Cullen's influence, they value just about any type of player that can contribute. Styles are less dispositive for them (or perhaps they're leaning into complementary skill sets). I mean, unless your name is Clowney. Then they have no use for you at all. |

They've never seemed to really be interested in that. |

And really, it applies pretty much everywhere at this point, doesn't it?
WR -- They drafted Rice, Worthy and Moore - three guys who couldn't be much different stylistically. At CB they drafted McDuffie and Williams/Watson. At S they've drafted Cook and Conner. At LB they drafted Bolton and Gay while paying for Tranquill. I think we're starting to get beyond type for this team. If they think you can play, they'll bring you in and adapt to your skill set. They won't always be right (Moore, for instance, can't play), but they don't seem married to a specific decision lens at this point. |

A 7 year stretch where he racked up 101 sacks is no joke. Yeah, he had one amazing year, but even if you put that year near his average over that span, he's looking at about 95 sacks over that same period. And hey, everyone has a peak season; his just happened to challenge the single season sack record so it's not as though we can exactly pretend that didn't happen. For perspective, DTs best 7 year stretch was 88 sacks. If you total his 10 best seasons regardless of whether or not they were consecutive, those seasons total 94 total sacks. But yeah - the first 2 seasons are comparable. The question will be the longevity and the peak. I really don't see GK having a 20+ sack season, nor do I see him averaging about 15 sacks/yr over 7 years. |
