Holy shit look at this guy set the edge and stay on his feet after taking a direct shot from a charging 350 lb OL. He’s the opposite of Dee Ford. The guy looks like Justin Houston as a run stuffer. |

Wow that was great. Why the **** don’t they show more of this?
I’d love to see more of Veach breaking down Speaks in particular. That play was very impressive and hard to catch when you aren’t watching all-22 film. |

Signed.
Chiefs signed second-round DT Breeland Speaks to a four-year contract. An early-career defensive tackle who moved to end last season, Speaks put versatility on tape and logged impressive 68th-percentile SPARQ results before the draft, suggesting room for further growth. Speaks is a boom-bust prospect with upside for a Michael Bennett-style role but a Datone Jones floor. Undersized but explosive, Speaks’ closest comp may be old Titans/Dolphins DL Jason Jones. http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nfl/football |

I thought "Ehringer" (sic) was bad. "Daniels" was also a bugger. And way back in the day, I thought it couldn't get worse than "Ryan Simms." This one, though. Hooooo boy. |

Listened to ESPN radio today and they were talking about the Chiefs. Todd McShay and Mel Kiper really like this kid and said they see him has a Michael Bennett type of player that can play outside and move inside on 3rd downs.
That would be awesome. Hope Veach is right about this kid. |

The biggest take away I have with the draft and free agent signings on the defense is versatility. I don't think Sutton really had the tools available to him last season to attack, partially due to injury and partially due to the personnel available to him. |

Also side note- the more I see Veach the more I come away as being impressed. Didn't know too much about him when Dorsey was let go but I feel that since he's taken over I have really liked the direction he is taking this football team.
Maybe only question mark I've had with Veach is the Peters trade but we can agree that was more of a culture change. |

Rule of thumb is that DL take about 3 years to really develop. I understand that Speaks is playing OLB, but from a physical standpoint, he's a stand up 43 end. I don't expect Speaks to set the edge better than Ford in his rookie season. And i think it's silly to assume he will. Matter of fact, i don't expect much of anything from Speaks until at least year 2. Ford will start. Ford will play most downs, and Speaks will come in when Houston/Ford need a breather. |
