Fuller on the outside in the base defense. Nickel....it will be Fuller in the a lot with either Amerson or Nelson on the outside.

We play a lot of zone on 3rd down. Amerson is a much better player playing in front of everything.

He should be a nice fit in those situations.

Great point by former Bears scouting director Greg Gabriel—most good CBs (the top 10-12) for the past handful of years all get selected in the first 3 rounds of the draft. Teams know how valuable they are and can’t wait for them in the mid rounds.

With Veach already acquiring Fuller and Amerson, it just gives us some freedom in the draft. We don’t have to reach for a CB with one of those first two picks because right now we’ve got 4 guys who could start at least serviceably, probably.

I’m really excited to see who else we can add to the secondary this offseason. I want our group to have some serious swagger. Talented secondaries like Seattle’s and Jacksonville’s always play like they’re invincible, they have that aggressive mindset and seem hungry to dominate.

We’ve got some of the key pieces in place to put a group together like that. Need a couple more though.

I think Safety may be the first pick for the Chiefs.

If you can get one of Watts/Allen/White or even Elliott, you can get a starter opposite Berry with some swagger to their game. Watts is who I’d target as he fills Parker’s role arguably better than the others. Great man coverage guy whether free or locked up on a receiver. Solid tackler with great instincts.
Elliott might be the most versatile, White the most physical. Allen is great at blitzing and excels in zone.

Local Raider fans near me tell me KC better have a good "burn ward" nearby lol. On a serious note, Amerson isn`t bad but just hasn`t seen the field much due to constant injuries, prone to concussions, etc. His first year with the Raiders he looked great and then went downhill the next 2 seasons so we will see.

Meh, Del Rio runs a shitty ship and always has... Amerson is far from the only player who regressed on his watch
[Reply]

I don’t think Amerson has a shot in hell of being on the field on 1st and 2nd downs unless there’s an injury.

He’s a depth signing, not a starter signing.

Hell, he may not even make the 53.

Well I would assume he makes it if we are for sure on the hook for $2.25M, but I’d say he’s competing with Nelson to start in nickel packages at best. At least we aren’t on the hook for anything after this season. If it doesn’t work out, no big deal. Solid depth corner.
[Reply]

Have full contract details been released?

I understand that his base is $2.25, with escalators up to $6 million, but as long as there's no guaranteed money (and I'd be surprised if it was anything other than $100k or so), the Chiefs could release him without any cap hit.

TE is one of the deepest positions in this draft. I would love to get one in the mid rounds.
[Reply]

Right but will a TE in the late 3rd or 4th be as valuable to the Chiefs as a defensive lineman or ILBer?

84 hasn't dropped a pass from Mahomes yet. we need to draft Defense.
[Reply]

I was wondering what Phil's mom thought about all this. See that she checked in.
[Reply]

Yeah burton would be a bit of a luxury but it would make that spot a huge strength as he could play a lot of spots
