Younger rising talent. Fine by me. Still would have liked Blackmon better. 

You have to figure Blackmon wanted a bigger contract.  If that was the problem, I'm on board for going cheaper.  But if the FO doesn't do any other S moves I think the likelihood that they draft a S in the first 3 rounds increases.

 

I'm hoping they do another safety move, I liked the wild card Hyde call above.  That would move safety down the draft list and we would look solid IMO.

not a single post mentioning the inside info we can gain from the Chiefs Defense! 

Pretty simple. It’s Sick em Chris Jones.

Inside info on what?  

 

These aren't PeeWee coaches.  They analyze and understand schematics to the extreme level, they don't need "inside info". 

 

KC has a better/faster defense than we've had.  Snead, Jones, McDuffie, faster safeties, etc. 

 

We have talented guys too, but our lack of a true game wrecker up front is the main difference, then KC had two top DBs too.

Hmmmm.... Maybe I do like it?

I’m guessing Blackmon was a medical visit. I won’t be surprised if they sign him as well.

Feel like I'm one of the few that likes this move. We need guys who can actually make plays on defense and who have done so in big spots. Seems like a big game player. Chiefs fans seem to have liked him from what I read.

Great. Now we have three backup safeties. When do we get a starter?

They can go into the season with Edwards/Rapp and groom Cole Bishop who they'll draft in the later rounds

According to Pro-football reference, Edwards played 57% of KC's D snaps.  He is listed as a FS.  His cap hit last season was $3 million.

If he doesn't demand too much $

Hyde should not be back IMO…

 

He shouldn’t be mucking around any longer with that neck problem … particularly in a limited role moving forward

Lewis isn't even a safety and people mention him before Hamlin. Sad.

Lewis is better at safety than Hamlin. Why is that sad?

Lewis is to Safety what Matakevich is to LB. He's the last version of McD's Tolbert on this team.

clearly you don't watch football closely.

I seem to recall Cam Lewis playing quite a bit of safety last year something Matakevich never did and Hamlin never did until he was literally the last human on the roster who could play it.

This is a Process mindset right here

I think Edwards is a starter based on our current roster. But he is a low end starter. I am worried about the safety position.

Looks like Poyer. Arm brace, number, movement 

Tua sailed it over his receivers head in that clip.

IMO it's still quite possible we bring in Blackmon or Simmons to make Rapp the 3rd Safety.  Then draft one in Round 4-5

Yes and Edwards caught it.

I was always more concerned about Poyer's and Hyde's lack of speed when the games really mattered.
