That 'quality depth' thing is something we sure were lacking lacking last year; late in games, when the starters were gassed, that's when opposing offenses just took over. [Reply]

Been saying that since day 1. Both are tweeners with no real fit at a single position. Nothing wrong with taking that type of player in the 4th or later, but in the 2nd? [Reply]
Veach said a few weeks ago that he thinks speaks is more of a DE. Can't speak for it this new look has anything to do with that. Just going off what veach said. [Reply]

What Speaks did his last year in the SEC was way better than McBride’s entire college career.
Think it's more that he feels like a tweener.
Ive always wondered if Turk could have been quality depth in the new nfl. Now that coaches value versatility, especially a guy like daly. We'll see what daly has in mind for speaks but at least we know he values versatility. Turk may have been a bit like our ogbah. [Reply]
It's only may. 20lbs leaner is quite achievable over the next 2 months. Probably focused on adding as much strength as possible during the offseason. [Reply]

Looks like he was more focused on trying to shut down the bbq scene in KC by actually eating it all. [Reply]
Everyone over reacted when they saw Kareem Hunt was "overweight" last season in that pool photo. Can't tell what Speaks has done in the off season by one photo. [Reply]
