Well if Kelce retires we basically are cutting her too right? Honestly will be glad not to see them cut to her after every big play he has, it wasn't nearly as bad this year but when they first started dating the TV broadcasts gave her way too much screen time.
Interesting he had the surgery already. Thought they usually waited for the swelling to go down a bit but maybe he didn't have much of it.Mahomes' surgery happened last night and was successful. Apparently some damage to the LCL in addition to the ACL, but not expected to increase the recovery time.
Mahomes has surgery for torn ACL; LCL also repaired, per source
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes underwent successful surgery Monday in Dallas to repair the tear in his left ACL. A league source told ESPN that Mahomes also had a torn LCL that was repaired.www.espn.com
Mahomes flew down to Dallas to meet with the surgeon that works for the Cowboys and has done quite a few athletes knees and shoulder problems. After the meeting and the exam, I would guess it was not as bad as they originally thought, little to no swelling in the joint and wanted to get the operation done ASAP so he could start his recovery. The doctor had cleared off his schedule for the day and once the knee was examined had the surgery scheduled and completed. Mahomes was their primary concern yesterday for the doctor and the team that would perform the operation.
If you love a Tackle with pick you have by all means take 1 but I don't want them to reach for a tackle just because you need 1. You can get by next year with Simmons and Moore if needed. Chiefs have more holes currently than they probably ever have during Reid era. I just want them to hit on their pick more than a specific position.
It really does not make a lot of sense to me to take an offensive tackle with your first pick when you invested in one last season with a first round pick and still have Moore and Taylor under contract. Looking at the CBS draft list the highest tackle listed are at #9 Fino from Utah and will be gone when the Chiefs draft most likely. Then it drops to #16, 21st and 22nd. Better use of the pick around 14 to 15 would be Love who they have ranked at #14 or the Parker kid, ranked #15 out of Clemson as a rush end. Either would fill a position of need on the team.
I'm not opposed to pass rusher either. I really just want a good player. I'd take a guy that can get you some easier yard such as Love at RB. I don't love the top TEs like Sadiq but in recent years I would draft a Tyler warren or Brock Bowers if they were available this year. I'd like someone like Brahmer if he goes with a mid to late pick. There's a lot of guys I could be talked into
The deal with picking Love is outside of him, the drop off is huge, so if he is not there you move on to another area of need, but if he is sitting there at 12 to 15 when the Chiefs draft, you have to take him to upgrade the position. Looking over the CBS list there were no TE listed good enough to be drafted that early. So it's either Love or start looking at defensive help along the line or on the back end.
I'm just saying we could sign 4-5 good young players at any position for what we are paying him. We are in desperate need of at least 2 decent pass rushers. I don't think we are particularly good at LB either. Bolton has taken a beating and he's atrocious in coverage.
We should have tried to address the TE situation the last 2 years with Kelce on the roster. Kelce could have been mentoring someone for his inevitable retirement.
I think they did, they resigned Grey and drafted Jared Wiley in the 4th. They were really high on him but has not been able to stay healthy.
Look at the notes on the link below, we are not going to be able to move Jones, we are stuck with him for at least a couple of years. Even if we could get rid of him, no team is going to take on that much salary and give you much in return. So you are not getting a lot of draft picks. It will be just like it was with Taylor you end up over paying for players not as good as the player you had. You keep acting like this team needs a major overhaul like the Jets.
I could see them taking a TE and he is the best of the group. All comes down to who is there and when they are choosing.
We could certainly use a WR. I've been disappointed with Xavier Worthy. While I think Rice is a really good player I'm not sure how if he's elite. He's a #1 for sure but is he top 10 WR good? If Veach looks at Sadiq from Oregon and feels like he is an elite TE I'm warming up to taking him with the 1st round pick. Somebody will be interested in Chris Jones. They'd be crazy not be if they have the cap room. His contract prevents the Chiefs from really doing anything in terms of free agency so don't expect to get better if he's still on the roster next year. The other option will be salary conversion. Mahomes can convert his salary and free up 43 million.and Jones could free up about 10 million.
Do they have needs, sure every team does, but is WR or Oline their most pressing need is all I am saying? I would say both positions are more wants than needs. KC for the first time in a decade will not be drafting at the back of the order, but in the first half of the draft, anywhere from #10 to #16. Players will slip down as teams are trying to grab the Golden Ring and pick a QB, which KC does not need.
