I'd like Wilkins or Lawrence first, because our run defense is shit and they're both elite run-stoppers. Oliver would be a great fit, as would Dre'Mont. I'll be interested to see what DBs are there, too.
Oliver is scary didn’t dominate like he shoukd
My guess is that the Chiefs tag him and then let him go. Ford is way too risky to keep long-term.
What makes him risky?
His first two years, he was considered a bust. Year 3 he had a good season statistically but sucked against the run. Year 4 was injured. Year 5 pro bowler.
Ok that is a very fair point.
I do think there is a chance that KC uses the franchise tag on him. My guess is that either Breeland Speaks or Tanoh Kpassagnon will probably replace him either next year or the year after.
What would you actually pay for Ford? Do you think he's rounding into a good player or is he more of a flash in the pan?
He has one really great skill but he is a bit too specialized to say that he is rounding into a good player. On a talented defense, he is worth a lot of money. On a weaker defense, you wouldn't even notice him.
That sounds about right. He's a demon of a pass rusher, but it does seem like all he does. I feel horrible for him on that stupid offsides though. I mean, a matter of a couple inches cost them a trip to the Super Bowl.
One of the hidden plotlines of the Super Bowl coming up is that the Chiefs almost turned the Pats over 4 or 5 times.
From his write-ups and watching him play a little, it seems like his ceiling would be a Chad Pennington type of player. He's not a gamebreaker but he's smart enough to run an offense that is maybe more run-first with an elite RB.
If it is, it's not by much. It's definitely the biggest knock on him. He's also not as accurate as Pennington was. I moreso meant he will be that type of QB.
