if i were an NFL gm my strategy would be study dave gettleman and do the diametric opposite of whatever he does

Sneed
Fenton
Ward
Baker

No need for a major investment for multiple years at the position if Baker is signed.

so annoying - that dude is a legend in his own mind and that's literally it. I can name about 13,999 Cp'ers who don't buy into him, like you do.

He and Mecole know each other well. I’m sure they are in each other’s ear.

Trying to steer conversation back to a free agent CB...like in the thread title.

Chiefs have a lineman coming in next year as our 3rd round pick in Niang. Not a big need. Sure is nice to have few needs. Love to see us add CB depth. Also love how players want to play here.

I was curious, so I did the math. In 22 drafts Andy Reid has had 17 first round picks, plus two first round picks traded for players (Jason Peters & Frank Clark) for a total of 19. You could arguably count Mahomes as two first round picks, but I didn't. Here's how it broke down:

QB - 2 (10.5%)
RB/WR - 3 (15.8%)
OL - 4 (21.1%)
DL - 8 (42.1%)
LB - 0 (0%)
DB - 2 (10.5%)

Also I think it's worth pointing out, Andy had Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan for his first 10 years in Philly, and has had Fisher and Schwartz for most of his time here. Point being, you don't have to spend a lot of resources on a position if it's already solved. Flip side of that, he's taken a lot of DL because his hit rate there has been mediocre.

Are we going to be able to afford Ward? Hes been bad this year but someone will give him Steve Nelson's contract
[Reply]

I would be careful with absolutes. How many RBs did he draft in the first round? Gotta see where we are picking, who's on the board, who we sign. Etc
[Reply]

How many times has Reid been a Super Bowl winner returning most if not all of his quality starters?

I don't think any position is off the table, especially if it's at one of the few true areas of need.

Picking at #32 is also a factor; positional value is kind of out the window.

I see no reason why we wouldn't take a Center or Guard at #32 if it was a perfect fit type player.

For 2021, absolutely.

He’ll be an RFA and make $2M-ish.
[Reply]

Don't know anything about him, but if Carcosa want's him, SO DO I!

GET IT DON, CROWLE!!!!!
[Reply]

What a crazy story.

If the Chiefs can add him and keep it under the cap, yes, absolutely, add him. That would be a really huge value and give the team a lot of flexibility in addition to improving play on the field.

Moving forward, yes, you'd have Baker and Fenton and Sneed at CB, but it could also free up Sneed to be used more as a hybrid player. With him, Mathieu and Thornhill all capable of lining up in the slot, playing box safety, or playing deep. Think of the mix-and-match capabilities for Spagnuolo!

Also would set them up to potentially walk from Sorenson if thy decide to move Sneed to more of a hybrid/safety role.

I remember wanting Baker when he came out of Georgia. I'd imagine the price would be pretty low to get him so why not
