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.

It makes DL all that more important.

Eric Scott isn't going to solve any CB issues. I think the CB room is fine.

The linebackers are WAY better.

3. Three of our corners (Mcduffie, Watson and Williams) have played in several huge games including AFC championships and Superbowls. And have not been embarrassed most of the time. Even though they have faced elite qb's and offenses.

4. We don't know what we have in Christian Rolland-Wallace, Nazeeh Johnson or Eric Scott yet. But many believe CRW is the second best slot guy on the roster after Mcduffie and Nazeeh and Eric have traits that could be moulded into a decent player as the season progresses hopefully.

5. Next Thursday will be the first time our top defense will take the field. Until we see the whole squad together it's futile to judge it. Watson, Williams and Nazeeh never played with Reid, Bolton, Jones etc in the limited minutes they had this preseason and that matters imo.

So my point is let's wait and see what our secondary does when all the best players are on the field together.

#5 is actually a really good point. Justin Reid and Nick Bolton haven't played. Chris Jones hardly played. We really haven't seen what this defense is going to look like this season. And then Omenihu will be back sometime around midseason.

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.

This exactly.

I think they’re fine with the top 4 guys from the 2022 draft. Also fine with Conner playing in the slot on certain downs.

The fact that Kelvin Joseph, Nic Jones, Ekow Boye Doe and Kamal Hadden all got cut suggests that they really didn’t like the depth at the end of the roster there.

But it’s almost a guarantee that they will draft a corner early next Spring bc the top 4 CB’s on the roster were all from the same draft in 2022 and 3 will be entering contract years.

In your opinion, why would Conner play in the slot, but not Hicks?

He was really good there, especially in the playoffs. I think Hicks might be able to but his role seems to be closer to what Justin Reid does, and he looks damn good in that role so far
