Chiefs Chiefs sign NT Xavier Williams - Page 8

#Chiefs scoop up DT Xavier Williams from Arizona. Fits the Brett Veach model, 26-year-old ascending four-year player. Born in KC, played at Grandview. @TerezPaylor had it first.

Yes. I've been a negative nancy about this defense but I absolutely love the plan that Veach seems to have when it comes to bringing in young, talented players.

Still need more help along the defensive line. You can never have too much. Another pass rushing OLB/RDE please.

Well they same no football team is without holes and if you held a gun to my head I'm going to say ours will be TE2. That might be a next year thing.

Thank God, give us a serviceable starter there, and then at least we have two big bodies for that position this year, with Hamilton backing up... great job Brett Veach, I'm now perfectly content with free agency

Now go draft your ass off...

FS and LG. Those are the 2 that really jump out.

Northern say's he is soft. But I do like Boston myself.

D-line is still a HUGE draft need as we don't have anyone signed past 2019.

Watkins is only 24? Wow. He must've started his career as a high school intern.

that will probably be a 3rd or 4th rd pick this year. Probably will use our 2nd on a CB or LB is my bet.

CB is still obviously something Veach wants or he wanted have offered Kyle Fuller a deal.

We don’t have Nelson or Amerson under contract next year. That might be need #1, if it isn’t safety.

You do IF YOUR GUY is there and you fear a few teams ahead of you will take him. BUT he has to be "YOUR GUY" you are absolutely sold on for the future when you do this and why Dorsey traded up for KHunt and he was wise to do so now looking back.

Definitely a safety IF the right one is there for sure.

Brandon Linder is one of the best in the league at C and Williams gave him all he could handle on that snap.

He blew up the whole plan, and chased his man right down the line for the snag... never lost sight of Fournette, nice awareness there

We will get our TE2 in this upcoming draft for sure. I like Andrews out of OU has great hands and has that Bavaaro type of body to block although he didn't block in college and hopefully he can transition well to a good blocker.

They got their qb now, so you need to keep throwing numbers at it

Normally, trading up is ok but with no first rounder I wouldn’t be giving up picks
