I like Mack Will I've also seen mocks with William's and Wilkins going in the 20s. No way I wouldnt move up to get either of those guys.

Really, if you're looking for an ideal "base" defense, you need to find a good nickel defense--two outside CBs, a slot guy, two safeties, and then six lineman/LBs Overall, Sutton's "base" D was often a dime with three safeties and three corners, with a safety playing more of a hybrid linebacker role. |

I really don't think gutting everything and doing a flip is in the best interest for this team on the cusp of being in the Super Bowl. Thinking getting Houston down to a more manageable cap hit, tagging Ford for right now, grabbing someone that can cover inside and investing in an upgrade at Bailey's spot and acquiring a #1 CB would go a long way. Changing everything around will make even more holes and a lot of growing pains as the guys that stick around eill have to relearn everything. |

So you're going to need 3 good corners to compete in this league. Again I like Wilson but basing it off these mocks there seems to be ALOT of value on corners at the end of round 1. |

What happens when the head chef has no idea what groceries to shop for. Rex Ryan begged his front office to draft Ragland... Not surprising when Sutton traded for him. Meanwhile other schemes value speed at lb. It still feels to me like veach was grocery shopping for a different chef which hints that he's been thinking scheme change all along.

Heres where it gets a little tricky for me under this scenario: you trade Ford you should have a little bit of cash to play with. Do you gamble on a guy like Thomas and get him on a 1 year deal? Lot of risk reward with Thomas/Berry. |

Houston and Ford scare no one...
BDB scares no one... 3 over priced players that desperately need replaced. |

I think if I'm wanting to make a splash for my secondary, I'm shopping for a corner and doing it aggressively. I'd call Jacksonville and see what it takes to get either Bouye or Ramsey. If you can also somehow land Thomas and make it all work, yeah sure I'd do it. But I think it'll take a 3-4 year deal to get it done. |

Man, I dunno about Speaks. Maybe he can move to DT. Spags likes undersized DT's. I hated that pick with a passion and still hate it.
I have been wanting to switch to a 4-3 for years but now that the Chiefs were this close to a SB with Mahomes, I'm worried about it. |

This offseason... It felt like they were leaning to a hybrid or 4-3 front. Maybe they had confidence Sutton could run it. Maybe he asked for it. But if we're talking scheme change, now we're talking about possibly some right players for the right scheme for the wrong coach. Possibly. |

Even the Patriots have flushed that 3-4 philosophy. They just lineup the best way to match the personnel on the field. 4-3, 3-4, nickel, whatever. That's what every team should do. With that said, I don't think that teams should target the old "front seven" players for base defenses. If you're looking at a corner, the only real debates are if they are more zone or press-man, and if they're outside or more of a slot corner. You need to run both at various times. If you're looking at a safety, you probably want two players with more of a free safety skill set and other safeties that have the hybridized SS/LB role. Aside from that, your other positions should be pass rusher, defensive tackle, and linebacker. Find guys who can do that job (the Chiefs don't have nearly enough), and then put them in a position to succeed by having some dynamism with your game plan and adjustments. If you want to send a wacky blitz every so often to **** with the QB then do it, but don't rely on it. If you want to force the QB to make accurate throws up the seam, then play zone, but don't be completely dependent upon it. |
