This season has proven more than anyone could have expected that we simply don't need to build this squad like it's the Alex Smith era Chiefs were there can't be any holes anywhere. This is a team that can 'make due' at a position or two and use talent elsewhere to patch those holes. It doesn't NEED to make short-term decisions. They can look at immediate short-term issues and address them with long-term solutions. Every decision should be made over a 5-year return because with Mahomes we can ALWAYS win. If we had Smith and needed a perfect defense and had an aging QB who we needed to win with before he aged out of viability, I'd be more inclined to do so. But with Mahomes, I'm simply not going to go crazy trying address the 'now'. |

I was looking around at free agency and such and while i'm guessing they're enamored with Earl Thomas, there are a couple other guys i'd be more interested in. I think you may have to sign Ford first off, likely tag him atleast. I kind of like Brandon graham but he may be a little redundant. |

That's also why I'm not sure I'd scoff at the idea of a high end offensive player in the first round.
Hell, I'm talking myself into a RB in the late 30's. |

As it stands right now, we'll have roughly $37 million in cap space. Tag Ford and now you're down to $22 million. |

That horse has left the barn though. I still say discuss a LTC but if you can't get it done this year, you cannot get it done at all. Do NOT tag the man and then make a deal the following season. For the love of all things holy, please FINALLY learn something from Houston and Berry. |

You have talked yourself into drafting, trading for or signing Sheldon Richardson every year for the last 6 years. How is this any different? You have yourself a hard-on for a guy who you'd never remember but/for the recruiting saga we went through at Mizzou. I'm not convinced he has EVER been worth the headaches that he's brought along with him everywhere he's gone. In 2014 he was probably everything you've built him up in your mind to be, but apart from that he has never been what he was advertised as in college or the NFL. Just let him go, man. |

I just have visions of him at the 3 tech next to Ford and Jones. |

There are positions we struggle to make work well even WITH fantastic talent. RB ain't one of 'em. We can turn 3rd rounders and/or UDFA's into viable starters. Why the hell would we ever throw a 1st rounder at one when even a reliable veteran back costs dick on the open market and a guy like CJ Anderson - who was literally unemployed 6 weeks ago - can dominate a post-season game. Quit it, dammit. You're just wrong here. |

If we can pull it off.....I'm taking Jerry Tillery at the bottom of the 1st.
Tillery - Nnadi - Jones |

I still just keep drooling over what this offense could be with a guy like Irv Smith running alongside Kelce. That's a serious failure to keep my eye on the ball; I get it. It's some Mike Martz shit. But this offense could be absolutely unstoppable with Smith out there with Kelce, Hill and Watson. And while nobody likes to think of what life without Kelce may look like, I still remember our offense dying when he got hurt against TN. A viable backup and potential replacement if a contract can't be reached would be nice. And when a defensive guru like Belichick still exists and specializes in taking away the thing you most want to have - good luck with that one, BB. You go ahead and try to figure out how to neutralize Kelce when you have another specimen like Smith roaming the field and Hill looking to take the top off. |
