the butthurt is so strong right now.

frank clark will no doubt make a bigger impact than whoever gets drafted with the picks we gave up. Save this post. Not to mention, now that we arent paying houston, ford and Berry we could afford this deal just fine.

they traded mystery picks for a proven commodity, who fits the scheme, and are still investing less in edge rushers than they were last year.

Oh look....it's the "Patriots argument". The one that no other team can duplicate.

Look, the Chiefs got better today. No, not Ogbah and Attouchu better like you assholes celebrated, but ACTUALLY better.

Maybe it's not the way you would've liked (with a hope and prayer, but hey it's cheap!), but they did.

Deal with it.

They had that presence with Houston and could have gotten a young pass rusher, all for basically the same total value (maybe they have to give up a bit more than a 1 and 2). I mean, I'm fine with the trade but when you look at it overall they spun alot of resources into less than what could have been.

We gave up enough to grab a QB, and paid him as such

The problem isn't necessarily the player, it's the money.

Those first round picks are so cheap.

The Saints, who lack a first this year because they reached for a project 1st round DE?

The Rams, who gave a record contract to a RB with an arthritic knee, then overloaded on expensive DE, and had to cut Suh after one year?

Well you see, just gotta hire Bill Belichick and you're set.

All in for the 50th anniversary since our last SB win

Oh wow, you actually like something that the Chiefs did!

I will cut Veach a break here because he does not call the shots whatsoever on these deals Reid uses his eyes for scouting and scouting alone we all know this. This is on Reid. So a 29th pic defensive end pass rusher is going to be better than Frank Clark to win now? Clark is 25 years old and to Meck’spoint if there are no other field issues I think it’s a good deal if you want to win now. How many more wins is it that Frank Clark will bring us because he can set the edge and stop the run?

I don't quite understand the crowd who is complaining about the money unless you are saying Frank Clark isn't worth the contract. The most important thing about the contract is how it is structured. As long as we have flexibility when Mahomes is due for his second contract then in my opinion we'll be fine. Our team makeup will be drastically different when we have to pay Mahomes.

I think it is fair to be critical of the trade itself; there is going to be a crowd who believes that the best way to build the team is through the draft. Building through the draft is a valid strategy but I think the right move is acquiring Clark. This team is so close to a Super Bowl, getting a player that has proven he can be an elite defender at the NFL level as opposed to drafting and hoping a rookie can come in and be an enormous difference maker on the defensive line.

Imagine going into next season with Okafor, Ogbah, Speaks + insert rookie defensive end here? You're counting on 1 or 2 of those guys to play way above their heads. We have two more seasons of Pat on his rookie contract- I think now is the time to be aggressive.

Seriously, anytime somebody does that on CP they instantly lose credibility.

There’s only one way to get it done, right?

The Chiefs essentially traded Dee Ford and this year's first-round pick for Frank Clark.
[Reply]

That may be, and that's for another discussion.

But they needed to do something to get BETTER. They did that today.
