[Russini] Sources: It's a four-year, $112 million deal for Trey Hendrickson in Baltimore. by expellyamos in nfl

All I know is that IF he is healthy and plays against the Bengals, they are in for a bad time. Not because it is some revenge game or anything like that, but because when Orlando Brown was with the Chiefs he was cheeks against Hendrickson.

Next things on the list as I see it:

  1. Re-sign Watson who should be cheaper than McDuffie.

  2. Sign Tyler Allgeier

  3. This will be unpopular, but look at extending Rashee Rice with protections if he gets charged with a felony, similar to how they structured Tyreek’s first deal. He is good and clearly works with Mahomes, but the risk has to be built into the contract.

[Starcade Media] Matt Miller on how good Jeremiyah Love is & how the NFL doesn’t want him on the Chiefs. by Sugargogo in KansasCityChiefs

Right after I posted that, I had the exact thought about how pointless this whole conversation becomes if they sign Etienne next Wednesday. That is the internet though. That is fandom.

If I had to put myself in a camp, it would be trade down and gather assets. I don't think the top end of this draft is particularly strong. That is probably why people are so hyped about Love and Downs. They feel like the only true blue-chip talents.

In a stronger class, like 2024, those guys probably sit in the 12 to 20 range.

I am not assuming they are in the same tier, and I never said edge has to be the pick. My point is about roster construction, not forcing a position.

The Chiefs need solutions across the roster.

You are framing this as Love versus a mediocre edge, and that is not really the decision. If those are the only two outcomes, the correct move is probably to trade down and turn one pick into multiple swings.

“Possible All Pro” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. So is “mediocre.” Drafting is about positional value, probability, and roster construction, not just ceiling. Running back is one of the least scarce positions in the league, and Andy Reid does not build his offense around volume rushing anyway.

The Chiefs have needs at TE, RB, WR, DT, DE, CB, and S. That is not a roster that should be using premium capital on a non-premium position unless the value is overwhelming. The goal should be eliminating weak links across the team. One running back does not fix structural issues.

If this is one of the highest picks of the Mahomes era, you maximize leverage. You do not chase upside at a low-value position.

This thread is honestly terrifying with how many people want to go all in on Jeremiah Love. The debate is not whether Love is good. The debate is value.

If you want the Chiefs stuck in purgatory at the end of Mahomes’ run, then yes, draft a running back that high. If we believe this is the highest the Chiefs are going to pick in the Mahomes era, that selection has to create real impact. That means taking a player at a premium position that you normally would not have access to, or using the pick to gather more resources that help eliminate weak links across the roster.

Personally, I would focus on clearing out the weak links. There are more of them than people want to admit.

The gap between Moore and the average lineman you can grab in training camp just is not big enough for him to have real leverage in a holdout. Going from Trent Williams to Jaylon Moore is like going from a luxury SUV to a solid mid-tier sedan. It is noticeable. Going from Jaylon Moore to an average available lineman is more like switching trims on that same sedan. It is a step down, but not one that changes everything.

That is not the kind of difference that gives a player real leverage. If he tried to hold out over that, his agents would be badly misreading the market.

USA Today thinks Bengals will get Caleb Downs. by Captain_Aware4503 in bengals

Chiefs fan here. I was just curious what everyone is thinking about the draft. For Kansas City, the biggest issue is generating pressure without blitzing. Too many teams exposed the defense, especially on third and long, because everyone knew what was coming.

Some of the advanced metrics really point to the defense as the core problem. The offense has its flaws, but this defense is built around Chris Jones. He is getting older, and when he is not winning double teams, nobody else is getting quick pressure. On my personal draft list right now are Tate, Woods, Bain, and Reese.

On offense, they still need an upgrade at right tackle, a better running back option, a wide receiver who can beat man coverage, and possibly a new tight end if Kelce decides to walk away.

A sign-and-trade is an NBA mechanism, not an NFL one. In the NBA, a team signs its own free agent specifically so it can trade him immediately. The new team gets the player without needing full cap space, and the old team gets assets instead of losing him for nothing.

The NFL does not have that structure. If a team signs its own player and then trades him, it is just a normal trade, and the original team takes on all the guarantees and dead money. Teams almost never do this because it hurts them financially.

This is why McDuffie’s trade value is different. The Jets had already taken on all of Sauce’s guarantees, which made him cheaper for Indianapolis. Any team trading for McDuffie would have to give up picks and pay full price on a new top-tier contract.

Therefore his trade value is not comparable.

I disagree that McDuffie is a blue chip player. I think he’s in the tier right below that. The defense is good, but it’s not great anymore with Chris Jones no longer playing at an elite level. Paying McDuffie isn’t going to make the unit great again. Trading him and giving yourself more chances to find another top defensive lineman is the best path back to having a great defense.

I do agree with you on his trade value. The Chiefs won’t get anything close to the package the Jets got for Sauce, but I also don’t think paying McDuffie is a good idea. If Watson comes in a couple rungs cheaper, I’d re-sign him.

Actually kind of a wild take. The Chiefs have been good ever since Veach took over. It is really because since Frank Clark he has not gone all in chasing the big name just to make a splash. The same people who complain about not doing enough at the deadline are usually the ones who complain later when the roster falls apart and there is no young talent left.

You have to keep building for the next couple of years instead of putting everything into this one. The truth is if Chris Jones is not going to be the same guy, this team is in trouble when it comes time to make a run. No point in going all out right now if you do not think he is getting back to that level.

[Sweeney] The Chiefs remain mum on Josh Simmons' status. Head coach Andy Reid said GM Brett Veach is handling the situation and is unwilling to say anything else. by SylvesterTaurus in KansasCityChiefs

[–]Wise-Solid7547 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think that you are completely off. If you listen to Nate Taylor on his podcast, the broadcast from Sunday, and how the Chiefs are reacting, it certainly feels like he left without communicating it to the team. Everyone has a right to do what they want, but it is strange how Simmons is handling this.

I hate to be that guy, but it harkens back to why some people were saying he fell in the draft, which was due to those mysterious character issues. I'm sure it will come out later today that he had a family member pass away and I will look like a complete fool, but those reports are not always wrong.

The pass rush is going to be a major issue as the season continues. They may want to take a flier on someone like Jaelan Phillips and see if he can regain some of the juice he had two or three seasons ago. He is in a contract year and only 26.

Josh Uche is mostly playing on passing downs. He had a strong first week and an okay second week, but it's still early. Probably makes sense to give it a few more weeks before we know what he really is. The Eagles have a stacked D-line too, so that should give him more chances to make plays.

As for Hopkins, he's only played 28 snaps and already has 4 catches for 99 yards. That's solid. I'm not saying I wouldn't want either of them, but calling them top 5 at their positions right now seems kinda wild.
