KC_Guy Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Reordered the Safeties, what do you think? And what about the OLB position opposite of Houston? Zombo seeing some serious competition? He's got only 170 k$ in dead money if released ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VexMilkWaterfall Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm new! Good stuff around here, guys. That said, sorry; my first post is going to be nitpicking. O'Daniel won't be playing safety. Big Red & Veach have both been quoted saying he'll be a dime package LB and special teams ace in year one. If he impresses, he could potentially earn more time, but he'll mostly only be playing on passing downs to cover TEs, RBs and play down hill to shoot gaps. As for Watts, I like your optimism, but I think it's Murray's job to lose. Watts has huge playmaking ability, but he's pretty undisciplined and will need to learn not to gamble as much in the NFL. I think that as soon as he can show an ability to adjust that part of his game, the job will be his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lurked for a while and finally decided to register after seeing so many people on the board down on this draft class. I'm putting together a new topic to explain why I'm excited about it.

A 2-gap DE would be very welcome and they are hard to find. The real use in the nickel. Whether you call it 2-4 or 4-2, DE is an interior pass rush position. I agree, Z may be in for a real fight. Not just Kpassagnon but also Eligwe. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just Kpassagnon but also Eligwe. J Not entirely, no. Big Red & Veach both said they want him to be our ROLB. However, with his size and experience at anywhere from 3 technique to 7 technique, they also value his versatility on the DL. Being able to line him up anywhere in blitz packages or on the line in different fronts is mainly why they seem to like him so much. Plus, he plays with such a high motor that he'll be in the play regardless of where he lines up. He doesn't have elite burst or bend, so don't expect him to be the next Von Miller. I think Justin Tuck is probably the best NFL comparison for Speaks, even though he's slightly more athletic than Tuck was. I see Kpassagnon as more of a true 3-4 DE than anyone on our roster not named Chris Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 To clarify: I don't see O'Daniel as a true Safety but something like Sorensen played often in light packages: close to the box. Berry did it with some real success like three or four years ago? I have no clue how to indicate that on a standard depth chart. In the end it only matters if he is franchise one day - as LB are paid a bit better than S. That said: I'll move him back to LB ... As for Speaks: The Chiefs list him as a LB, and Reid compared him heavily with Tamba. We probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term Dimebacker is descriptive. He lacks size, but he has great range and is a hell of a blitzer by reputation. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 With Robert Golden's release and Sorensen's injury now even the body count at Safety becomes an issue - unless some of the young guys I listed as CB actually play at Safety. Quote Chiefs released S Robert Golden. A former Steeler, Golden was not being considered for the Chiefs' starting job opposite Eric Berry and asked for his release. Golden could catch on elsewhere as a special teamer but isn't a starting-caliber NFL safety. Related: Chiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and it would not surprise me. Some of the CBs in camp have been around for a few years. They know how the NFL works even if they were unable to contribute.

Edge Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Quote Chiefs signed CB Orlando Scandrick, formerly of the Redskins, to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. Scandrick was let go by Washington last week. He fills a need for the Chiefs, who are looking thin in the secondary following the offseason departures of Marcus Peters (traded to the Rams) and Terrence Mitchell (signed with Cleveland). Steven Nelson's concussion Friday night likely created an even greater sense of urgency. In KC, Scandrick will likely back up Kendall Fuller at slot corner. Aug 19 - 8:26 AM source: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4814/orlando-scandrick We needed some help at the position, so it's good to see that something is happening there. I dunno how much Scandrick has left in the tank, through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
