Boy it looks like the Chiefs really don't like their CB room

[Mecca]

On top of claiming Eric Scott

They also placed claims on Shemar Bartholomew and Sam Womack III. Even though they were only awarded 1 because of other teams placing 3 claims on corners is telling.

The Defense was going to take a step back.

Well, this is that step back. I think all you can do is hope it's not too much of a weakness. If it is, then yeah, maybe hope you can make a deal.

Outside of last year how often has KC had a truly elite secondary in the Mahomes era?

[In58men]

BAH GAWD IT SURE DOESN’T

[New World Order]

Mcduffie, Watson and Williams are plenty good enough

I think if it were something they were really worried about as opposed to just trying to get better at the back end of the group if they see someone they like more, Veach would've traded for those CBs (guaranteeing they get them, like they did with Cam Thomas) instead of trying to grab them off the waiver wire when they're last in the pecking order. If it were about trying to get better at CB2, they'd probably go get a vet CB. I also doubt they thought they'd get all three CBs they put in waiver claims for, so maybe that was an approach to see if they could get one of them, and they did.

Find out soon enough. I say it was a short sell on Sneed. Let's see how much he plays. That knee... is worrisome.

Now that he's gone, people here think he's was the 2nd coming of Ronnie Lott. The simple answer is score more points than the other team.

We're going to be worse in the secondary and it could be more than I originally thought. I think it'll be a reasonable step back that's offset by the offense.

This team feels exactly like the 2019 team with a better pass rush

[CupidStunt]

People really overlook how much we have 3 safeties on the field. It's one thing to doubt the CB depth, but Reid/Cook/Conner/Hicks is VERY nice.

...and better O line, better LB's, better HB's, better D line (by January,) and a much deeper safety room.

Since Chamarri Conner is going to probably be playing slot corner full-time, it makes our depth look worse than it really is since he’s technically a safety. Josh Williams showed more than enough at the end of last year to convince me he can be a full time #2 on the outside.

We’ve seen flashes from Watson as well. Depth is definitely a concern, but how many teams really have 4-5 good corners? It just really doesn’t happen, last year was an anomaly for this team to be so insanely loaded at the position. I still expect a top 10 defense, which is more than enough considering what the offenses potential is this year.

We’ll be fine.

[Chargem]

If the offense is better than last year and can start games punching the other team in the mouth, we could see some better statistical defensive performances than last year of oppositions are forced to be 1 dimensional pass-from-behind
