Agree!! I like Jordan Jefferson as a solid #2 in this offense [Reply]

You wait till day 3.
And Hardman would be bumped Robinson’s spot obviously. [Reply]
Get Pat more weapons!!! A CB and LB would be ideal tho in the first round. Things should definitely play out in the next couple weeks. I’m anxious and curious what Veach has up his sleeve [Reply]

Here’s the thing: the Seahawks might have drafted poorly. Maybe we get snake bitten by injuries. The point remains: the more $100M players you have the more concentrated your risk becomes. If Jones could be flipped for multiple picks, that along with his cap savings could represent 4-5 legit starters. If one of them goes
Down with an ACL, you still have 3-4 players on the field. Signing jones to a large contract concentrates talent, yes, but it concentrates risk as well.
I am sorry everyone else is only making this about emotion, but the clear prudent business decision is to maximize his value and replace the bevy of talent walking out the door.
Now, if moving on from Watkins makes room and Jones is back, then great. But it’s a BIG risk.
What if the rumblings we're hearing from team sources like Terez and the guys at the Athletic are true? Where Jones reeeeeally wants to stay in KC with Big Red and Mahomes and doesn't want this great thing he has going to end? Where Mahomes is of the same mindset and wants to not only just win another ring but wants to win another ring with THIS TEAM with everybody just entering or in their primes? Where apparently Watkins is telling his agent to find a way to keep him in KC?
If it's true that kind of culture from the team's best players is being established, then doesn't tagging/trading Chris Jones kind of spit on that? At that point, if you're Mahomes, aren't you now saying, "Oh... yeah, that Super Bowl and that team was pretty magical, but I guess even on an Andy Reid team money is the what will win out in the end, and maybe I should be thinking about what makes more life sense, not football sense..."
I probably still have magical unicorn fart dust in my eyes from that Super Bowl win and can't see or think correctly, but I do wonder if that isn't kind of what the larger plan is. Maybe we can be the anti-New England and prove to the league that you CAN keep a dynasty together by paying your guys provided you have a killer QB and one of the happier team-oriented locker rooms.
