NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

Midway thru his career, Matt Campbell verbalized how Trevor Downing was a Big 12 upper tier talent and the leader of the O Line. Then the lost season due to injury and the decision to shift to the center position. Which I perceived by Downings willingness for the position change as CMC’s ability to convince him that was where his best chance was to get in the NFL. Then last season’s flop and there has been no mention of Downing in the Combine or any other NFL chatter to any degree. Is he off the NFL radar? Do the Chiefs have any UDFA interest?

He appears in Dane Brugler's draft kit at The Athletic. Projected as undrafted free agent though I believe, but I imagine he'll sign with someone.
 
Dude's tiny. Listed as even shorter than Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman. Been consistently ranked around early 20's in many mock drafts, so it would take moving up to get him.
Reid had some success with DeSean Jackson who was the same height. Same with Jeremy Maclin who wasn’t much taller.
 
The NFL radio channel reported that the Chiefs had the WR from TCU in earlier in the week to work with Mahomes and see if they liked him.

If the Chiefs are bringing in these WR to work out with Mahomes, they know that neither will be there when they draft at 31, they must be planning on moving up in the draft. Which would be the thing to do with the draft in KC, get the home crowd excited and talking, instead of waiting till the last pick in the first round.

I think Q Johnston from TCU is intriguing and it may not take much of a move to get him. I have seen some mocks that do not even have him as a first round pick, and I heard an assessment on local radio that some think he lets too many footballs get into his body.

I saw a tweet, can't remember the source, that said look for the Chiefs to try and trade CEH and a 3rd to Arizona for DeAndre Hopkins.

Sign me up!
That seems like a pretty light package for Hop but would we have enough cap room by just moving CEH?

Doubt it. CEH is set to make just under $2 million and KC has somewhere between $2-4 million in cap space depending on where you look. DHop has a base salary of around $20 million. It's way better to play the waiting game to see if the Cardinals just release him. Then they could try to sign him to an OBJ like contract with a low base salary.
 
The only way the Chiefs can afford to trade of Hopkins is a huge bonus spread out over four or five years with a low salary of 2 or 3 million. He wants out of Arizona, KC would be a perfect landing spot for him, we have the draft capital and a cheaper type player that Arizona can use.
Make it happen.

Signing Chris Jones to an extension would help the Chiefs’ salary cap situation. I’m kind of surprised they haven’t already done that.

Surprised he’s not a LB prospect in the NFL! Should have been at ISU think he would have even more sacks not being blocked by 2 or 3 offensive linemen all the time
 
Pacman Jones is darn near a regular on the Pat McAfee Show and he just dropped a little nugget. He's very bad at covering up the news but...

DeAndre Hopkins just texted Pacman Jones that either tonight or tomorrow he is going to get traded to either the Bills or the Chiefs.
