Chiefs offseason thread

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown signed by the Eagles.

I've been reading about the NFL draft lately. Lots of experts are suggesting edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. could fall to the Chiefs at No. 9.
The debate apparently is over his arm length. See the table below for historical success as a pass rusher with sub-31 inch arm length.Bain is at 30 7/8, with 33 apparently optimal.
I think the Chiefs need more of a sure thing at No. 9. Who it is, i dunno!
Pass rush success over last three NFL Seasons by edge defender arm length
**Arm Length Pressure Rate PFF Pash-Rush Grade** < 31 inches 11.7% 69.8 31-32 inches 14.9% 92.5 32-33 inches 14.1% 90.2 33-34 inches 14.5% 90.5 34-35 inches 13.8% 85.7 35+ inches 12.2% 85.0 -
I really like the idea of have Fields in KC, he can get some reps with first teamers while Mahomes is out and another weapon in the run game. Reid and EB should be able to get some gadget plays for him in the book for this season. Maybe even run a QB sneak with him.

Looks like Rashee Rice was cleared of any wrong doing in that case with his girlfriend (or ex, i dunno).
I think that means he's good to go for 2026?
Contract year, so hopefully he puts on a good show next season.

Didn't she tear up a bunch of his stuff up a couple of yrs ago, or do I have the wrong guy?

Sadly it’s hard to keep track!

The Kansas City Chiefs moved up in the NFL draft Thursday night, acquiring the No. 6 pick from the Cleveland Browns and using it to select LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane.
Kansas City sent picks Nos. 9, 74 and 148 to Cleveland in return.

Give up two picks to get a guy who likely would have been available anyway? And relative to other options, both at the position and best available, that's a lot to give up...
-
Holy smokes! Just tuned into the draft to see the Chiefs just gave away multiple picks for a guy they prolly coulda got at No 9 anyway? Hmmm
-
Yes I honestly would’ve stayed at 9 and took Downs if it was me. Delane likely wasn’t going til 11 or 12.

The chiefs selected Peter Woods DT from Clemson with the 29th pick. I also think this was a reach and he may have still been there with that 8th pick in round 2. Hoping that Concepcion the WR from A& M was still there but he went at 24th. I don’t think this is a great draft class IMO likely only 10-14 true first round prospects. They really needed to knock it outta the park this season man in the draft. Still time to do so but not sold on the two so far.
-
Peter Woods is interesting. He was all the rage the year before apparently. Some ranked him the #1 DL prospect.
I guess we should be happy with the #1 rated CB in the draft in Delane, but was a circuitous route to get him.
Study time!

Seeing all the draft picks from Ohio State makes a guy wonder how bad of a coach Ryan Day is. I know he won a title a few years ago but man they seem to have a lot for talent for not even winning their conference.

Chiefs planned for 4 weeks how to get Delane. They did all types of simulations and nothing gave them any assurance New Orleans, which also lost 2 CBs, wouldn't take him. They traded 1st rd picks and gave up a 3rd and 5th. In 2022, they gave up a 3rd and 4th to get McDuffie. Literally every sportswriter grading the pick thought it was a great move. Number 1 CBs don't fall into your lap often.
