I think we will try and pick up a pass rusher on the D-line (Armstead, Goldman, Bennett, Brown?) or maybe someone like Marcus Golden in the second?

markus golden to play OLB cuz he's got good size and stood out at the senior bowl known to be an edge setter with good pass rush abilities seems like a carbon copy of erik walden but younger and with a higher ceiling i like him

Tamba Hali is a great OLB who can do it all. Whatsmore we don't have to worry about converting a DE with him. I'm still hoping the stars align and the Chiefs forget they can use the franchise tag on Houston and he wants to play on a team who can win playoff games. Houston is an instant upgrade as a pass rusher and against the run on either side.

I hope we don't get Dupree, but yes. we need another pass rusher badly. I think we should look to free agency. Tamba Hali will probably get released, He'd be a great addition IMO.

 

 

Let's get a proven pass rusher like tamba Hali and let newsome continue to grow. We need more pass rush from our DLmen.

i like the idea of grabbing tamba hali or brandon graham in FA no doubt but a younger more explosive player in the draft builds towards sustained success and i love what ive seen of dupree on tape ive poured through each game he's played in for the last three years and i'm telling you guys he can play fast and hits hard he's always in on the play chasing down runners or in the QB's face he's gonna be huge

I don't like the idea of Morgan either. A lot of people are against this, but I'm going to stick with my opinion on Orakpo. I think he could be had on a 1year deal considering he's coming off his 2nd major injury. If he's healthy, he's going to be a force, and most likely give us 10 or more sacks. I hope we look into him, but I'd rather get Hali. The best option I think would be if Beasley falls to 29, or we trade up for him.

Maybe I'm not reading enough into these quotes....    but both Grigson and Pagano were responding to questions about pass rushers.    Their answers struck me as pretty standard.   I think what they said is what almost all GM's and HC's say when asked.

 

Kinda coach speak 101.   Pretty basic stuff.

 

I don't read their quotes as a signal to what they're going to do in the draft.   Perhaps that's a misread on my part...?

I hope that's true, because I'm really not a fan.

 

Still haven't figured out the hype, huh?  :)   He isn't at the top of my list either, I am just guessing he won't fall to #29 by the fact that most of the mock drafts and rankings have him gone before the Colts pick.  Of course everything may look differently closer to draft.

      Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once. Buster Douglass beat him in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike Actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglass got a 13 count.

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By stitches · Posted

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
