Bah if they miss out on a guy like Adderley I'm gonna be annoyed.

Adding Adderly, Thornhill, Savage, or even Mike Bell would give you a lot of versatility at the safety position. I think each of those could play either safety position, from what Ive been reading.

As long as we sign Darby, I’m hoping we attack the front 7 on draft day. That’s where the strength of this class lies.

Sure does look that way.

If I could be confident that Tillery would make it to the 2nd, I'd be damn tempted to let it roll there and snap him up then. Tillery would be a nice SDE for us.

Man, if Clelin Ferrell somehow fell to us in the 1st and Tillery in the 2nd, you could absolutely justify taking both of them. You put Farrell as the Leo and Tillery as the SDE with Jones/Nnadi in the middle and you've got the ability to wreck some shit.

It'll take awhile; the learning curve for DE's is steeper than folks want to recognize, but when they're at full throat, that could be a savage front.

I'm a believer in having high level talent across the secondary especially safety in todays game, the best QB's get rid of the ball to fast for the line to be a big deal so you have to have the cover guys.

The problem with your Tillery idea, DJ, is they like Speaks. He’s the 5T.

I'm wondering with them seemingly going all defense in FA so far, if that first rounder shapes out to be an offensive player?

I mean, if one of those tight ends is there, you'd probably have to do that right?
[Reply]

So why couldn't the Chiefs give one of their seconds this year and next for Clowney or Lawrence and extend them and still have money for Jones?

Couldn't you stagger it around and make it work?
[Reply]

Yeah, but you see....they're wrong.

Speaks sucks.

Tillery would punt that fucking tub to the bench in heartbeat. Besides, they could still rotate him in when they slide Tillery alongside Jones on passing downs.

A nickel front of Speaks, Tillery, Jones, Ferrell.....I mean even SPEAKS can't ruin that.

(I have an irrational disdain for Speaks and K-Pass, my apologies. K-Pass should've been Kamara and Speaks should've been someone that isn't a fat tweener).

I think they can go IDL,Safety, Corner, and Edge, with first four picks and come up with quality in each of those picks. Even adding more DL picks later on are feasible. Its only when I try and slip in a TE or LB early in Mock drafts, that I end up missing out on Safety or CB quality help, IMO.

Just remember that Berry played great after his ACL tear. Charles played great after his first ACL tear. I don't think a single ACL tear is that big of a deal.

Justin Houston's....well that was botched all to hell and probably would have been fine if they would have fixed it right the first time.
[Reply]

Is Speaks even a tweener though? I think he's just not good and was taken about 2 rounds to early.

Hope i'm wrong.

I guess the Twitter Tards have taken a vacation day, today.

Who you talking to? I've been hyping Hock since before it was cool. I've almost talked myself into Cody Ford, FFS (I love me some Cody Ford).

As for Fant and Smith, I just don't think so. I love both guys as stand-alone TE1s and for awhile had convinced myself that I'd be cool with either of them as the TE2, but I'm just not sure they do enough in-line to be used effectively in 12 personnel.

I mean if you get the Jags on the line about that Kelce/Ramsey deal and Fant is sitting there, I'd listen.

I'm not even a little bit married to the idea of 'defense no matter what' in the 1st. I believe I said it to you a few weeks ago - over a 2 year timeline, EVERY position is a position of need. So don't draft for immediate need because few rookies provide that anyway.

But if Ferrell were there, you'd have need + opportunity. He'd be a monster in this system, IMO.
