kingseanjohn Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Really wish some teams would overpay for some Chiefs free agents. I'd really like those comp picks next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t always spend big every year unless you want to be in cap hell constantly. That's fair as well, just a boring day when I thought Clark was getting the boot, Reek was supposed to get a contract, we were supposed to be interested in Jarvis, Juju and Z Smith. Tomorrow is a new day though and there's definitely a lot of second tier FAs out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 If you are handing out grades today the 3 lowest grades probably all go to the same team. We call that not good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think by signing two that means you don’t continue to add weapons around a young QB? The cupboard was barren coming into the off-season besides an aging Marvin Jones who is gone after this year. Can’t invest purely draft capital and hope they are immediate impact out of the gate. Kirk/veteran was needed. Ive already stated my dislike for Zay. You are currently spending $117,000,000 on the following players: Marvin Jones Christian Kirk Zay Jones Evan Engram You're telling me that you're also going to spend either a 1st and/or 2nd round pick (both high picks) on another WR? First of all, if your plan is to surround your QB with talent, why are you getting Kirk, Zay Jones and Evan Engram? Furthermore, why are you OVERPAYING THE HELL OUT OF ALL OF THEM? I understand you can't have enough weapons, that's why the Ravens added Hollywood and Mark Andrews, then Watkins, then Rashod Bateman and also have Devin Duvernay and James Proche. I just don't understand why it appears they're desperate to overpay for average WR's when they just had average WR's.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked up Treadwell and Tavon Austin off the street and they became focal points of the offense by mid season. 3) Regardless of the money, this team is lacking at the top of the depth chart. You put Marvin Jones/Zay Jones in that WR3/4 slot and that group looks better pending hitting on a guy at 33 or 65. Regardless of the sticker prices, I’m fairly certain they don’t view either of the two guys above as a legit top two option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overpaying for average players in free agency who they plan to cut in 1/2 years is pretty much exactly why bad teams stay bad. Like, what am I missing here? You're gonna draft a WR1 and WR2 this year and then just throw that $100M away as a stopgap to those players? It doesn't make any sense. You could've bolstered your team elsewhere and still spent the draft capital on those WR's and gotten probably better WR's late in FA after cuts.

Just WR's literally everywhere, even OL. Sure, they can't block, but that's besides the point. <Matt Millen nods head> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s likely a long term fixture in this offense for the foreseeable future. Zay Jones likely slots in as veteran depth that comes in as a stopgap for 1-2 years (haven’t seen the details of the contract). Much better options out there than him imo, but alas.

Trojan Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I wouldn't bet on anyone on the Jaguars being a long term starter outside of Trevor and maybe Walker Little. This offseason so far is looking like a fire Baalke one to me and the next GM is going to purge and rebuild. This has been legitimately trash and I feel sorry for the fans. I expect regression from 2021 and yall already the worst team. I'd fire Baalke before the draft to salvage valuable draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So than why is it laughable to view him as a long term fixture on the depth chart at 25 years old? Guess maybe I’m missing something here. Regardless, yes, I would fully expect a WR to be added with one of our 4 picks in the top 70, with a strong possibility of it happening at 33 even though we paid Christian Kirk and Zay Jones at WR.
