Where’s this elite pass rusher?


And spare me the malcontent hyperbole

[O.city]

Trading the 3rd year player whose on a hall of fame path is def the way to go

[Easy 6]

This would be an earth shaking move by Veach, his biggest move by FAR toward putting his own stamp on the team... as well as fulfilling his promise of getting younger and cheaper

Not sure how to feel about it quite yet, but if it happened... there is no choice but to use that #1 pick at CB

Are you in the building? His little transgressions in public likely pour over into the locker room too. Be realistic.

Nobody is saying “trade Peters”. But thinking of the prospect would entail serious compensation returning. It is due diligence. Dorsey/Ballard were huge in doing their homework on him. We may never know/find out if Dorsey makes a call to Veach exploring a trade possibility, but Veach would have a price in mind.

Are you in the know? If we’re gonna be completely speculative about it, that’s fine but call it what it is.

Of course they’d listen. They’d listen on trading Mahomes if someone offered a crazy haul. Even if you make the trade you have to replace said player.

That’s not very easy when said player is on a historic pace to start his career at doing the thing every corner back wishes to do

I’m all about prospects but I’m not all about trading an elite player for a hopeful elite prospect

That’s not ideal

"Historic" is pushing the envelope a little. That's kind of a once in a lifetime type of player term. His tackling alone takes away any historic premonitions. I'll go along with 'elite cover skills' however.

What’s the most important characteristic a corner can have? Where does Peters stand on that note?

[O.city]

Tackling for a corner back isn’t exactly high on the list of importance for me.

Everyone is different I guess

[Easy 6]

This was floated by Florio, the same guy who said Sutton was retiring iirc

Peters tackles when he absolutely has to as if his job depends on it. If its 3rd down and the ball carrier is a couple of yards away, he always goes balls out to get him down.

I'll take his 5 forced fumbles given his lack of tackling on less significant downs.

I'd be curious to see how Amerson would do as a free safety though. I see him more of a CF read and react type of a player.

[Coach]

And those who are touting that the Chiefs should sign Talib....

No thanks. He's on the wrong side of 30 and he's what you'd call a "depreciating value" in the CB market.

But even then, we will have ended up spending money on the corner position that we didn't necessarily have to spend THIS season if we do that.

So what's the best move here? I guess it comes down to how badly the Chiefs want to recover their first round pick in '18?

Yeah, just total speculation on my part, since we seem to be playing this game

That said, if the Chiefs could get a Top 10 pick and a 4th for Peters, it would give them total flexibility in the draft and with that top ten pick, they could grab a top shelf CB and maybe something more.

Would that player be as good as Peters? Not likely.

But with that said, a trade like that would allow the Chiefs to bypass shelling out $16 million per year beginning in 2019 to a CB, allow them to get younger across the board and maybe make some deals that bring back 2019 draft picks.

Again, total speculation but it's worth speculating.
