The pass catchers are just that - they do little to no blocking and are flex/slot alignment guys: Goedert, Gesicki, Thomas, etc. The in-line guys don’t seem to have a lot of receiving threat upside. I like Goedert a lot, but I think KC needs a more versatile guy who can factor in the run game. If I’m KC, I try to get Marcedes Lewis on a cheap one year deal. They investigated Ben Watson, so maybe that is a sign they are not enamoured with what the draft presents in terms of value/versatility, but they have met with a number of TE draft prospects... |

If we don’t get a safety on day 2, I love Neal in the 4th.

Here's a kid from Franklin College (DIV III). Deontez Alexander WR.
Seems to have good speed and is open to playing DB. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7987796...51bd1774f2ce90 https://packerswire.usatoday.com/201...inline-related |

I see Punter Michael Dickson on the list. Is it possible we draft this guy and cut Colquitt or is that not an option since Colquitt resigned ?

There are at least 4 legitimately good punters in this year's draft class. Re-signing Colquitt before the draft was a colossal mistake, but this team is really good at it.

The difference between a rookie and Colquitt's cap hit is probably ~$1.5m, I agree it is a mistake but I wouldn't call it colossal. ~10% of total cap being dead on the other hand...

I think tomorrow I'll put the data back together on punting that I put together a few years ago and repost it. I have a real hard time watching this team overpay punters and there's a reason for it.

No team in the league can blow as much money on the likes of a punter and a fullback as the Kansas City , neither of which have a significant impact in the W/L column. I haven't had time to gather the data again, but when I have the time I'll show you once again that there isn't a significant correlation between having a good punter and having a winning football team. Paying 4 million per for a punter is about as stupid as paying 4 million per for a 3rd string quarterback.
