Also, I'd be shocked to see the Chiefs take a WILL in the 2nd round, as Safety and D line seem like more pressing needs and I'd love to see the Chiefs take White or Marcus Allen.

Berry, Parker, Fuller, Nelson, Peters and one of those guys might be the best secondary in the NFL.

I’m thinking DL should be a priority in FA. It doesn’t seem like the Chiefs will find a DL in the draft that is ready in 2018. I’m fine with taking one in the 3rd as depth pending a FA starter in front of him though.

The more I think about it the more I see a Safety as possibly the best option in rd 2. 3/4 guys are on long term deals and it’s a big area of need.

We really need a Husain Abdullah type back there.

If the Chiefs go Safety in the 2nd round, it'll also really help the pass rush, especially if Tanoh continues to improve and Dee Ford can return healthy.

I'm good with a free agent on the DL but I think they'll still need to grab at least two guys in the draft and I'm actually good with them taking two in the 3rd round. They won't be expected to start immediately but will become rotational players right away.

While I can see the Chiefs asking Bailey to restructure and add more years, I can't see them cutting him outright because that would mean that only 2 defensive lineman, Jones and RNR, would return from last year's squad and there's a possibility that Jones won't even be 100% by Training Camp.

I realize that it's speculation at this point but it's clear that Jones play wasn't consistent and up to his potential last year due to the knee surgery during training camp. I'm all for giving him as much rest as possible so that he's a healthy 100% in Week 1.

I’m not necessarily opposed to taking a safer high but I’d like to see what happens with berry coming back first.

Him being healthy allows the others to slide into better roles for themselves and now a year of experience for Murray would allow him to potentially overtake Sorensen.

They aren’t great safeties but when asked to do what Berry does they looked bad. Having him back would be a big factor.

I’m looking at the front 7 early and often in this draft.

How much can you count on Berry though? At some point he's going to get the "injury prone" label. He was having issues with his Achilles before Week 1 and then he tore the completely opposite one. Dude is a great athlete and takes care of his body but at some point all of that shit starts to add up.

True but the only real injury from playing football was the Achilles

The knee maybe but that’s just a freak play.

I've seen absolutely nothing from Eric Murray that says "NFL player".

I'd be down with a safety in the 2nd round, along with a free agent safety if it meant the end of Daniel Sorenson and Eric Murray.

They aren't even JAG's, IMO, and Murray singlehandedly lost the Raiders game because he couldn't cover 150 year old tight end Jared Cook.

They need more athletes on the dl that can rotate around and play different spots

Bailey seems to have plateaued but that’s a lot of turnover if you let him go.

****, David Irving would be a nice guy to have up there right now

[O.city]

They aren’t moving on from sorenson I doubt after the contract. As much as andy seems to like him it would surprise me.

Murray Definitely had some rough moments but I thought he improved as the season went on basically being a rookie and playing a lot of minutes

I don’t think that will matter to them, as andy is or seems to be super high on him.

They can free up a lot of money this offseason but they’re gonna have to keep some of these guys

Sorenson was terrible. At least with Parker we know he can be a cover player who could play some corner if needed.

Sorenson was legitimately terrible in all facets of the game. I like what I saw from Leon McQuay much more than anything I saw from Sorenson. He’s got potential as a backup.

I honestly wouldn’t mind getting rid of Murray and Sorenson.

Veach needs to get rid of him. He was a nice player on a rookie contract but he does not deserve anywhere near this much.

[O.city]

I would really like another Olb that’s worth a shit but the draft looks pretty slim there

I feel like Reid has always prized edge rushers and corners. I doubt we'd go ILB in the second. I could see an edge rusher or even another corner.
