I'm still missing when this model has ever worked for other teams that don't have the GOAT coach. |

The 2nd round pick will be great in 2020. However, I would like to win now while we have the absolute chance window and the Browns and Colts have not caught up to us yet. |

Keeping those guys at $15M each and then losing them to injury. |

And the Chiefs aren't bringing in guys like Okafor to replace Ford. They're bringing them in to be 2-3 year stopgaps until they draft a replacement. Lots of defenses build through the draft, but it's going to take a few years for the Chiefs to do that. Notice how all our free agent pickups are on 2-3 year contracts with very easy bailouts. Look at how we built our defense originally. We started out with guys like Sean Smith and Devito and Vance Walker, but clearly Dorsey was drafting to replace those guys as quickly as possible. |

He's not an outstanding player. And he's certainly not worth an outstanding price tag. |

I already know what your answer is going to be but any unbiased observer of the NFL is going to say the latter gives us the greater chance. I still don't know how tf were going to create pressure of the edges this season, a rookie taken in the late 20s almost never produce heavily as pass rushers in their rookie seasons and Okafor definitely isn't the guy to get it done. |

And for the record, the defense was AWFUL last year. Dee Ford and Justin Houston were invisible in the AFCCG and they were 6 inches away from going to the Super Bowl. If you think Dee Ford is the magical piece to get them to the Super Bowl, you're freaking fooling yourself. Have you completely forgotten that the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes? You're making a big deal out of literally nothing. Dee Ford doesn't matter. Justin Houston doesn't matter. The defense is going to be better next year without them. They're going to generate pressure off the edge with scheme. How many times do people have to tell you that before it sinks in? |

Yeah that's my point and why it's reeruned to sit and laugh at the inclination of signing Verrett.
Chiefs are having difficulty figuring out if Darby will be ready for training camp but taking a 1.4m flyer on a past all-pro as insurance isn't interesting for some people |
