The Final Four teams all have above average to great OLines.

Let's give JJM a DET like OLine. That starts in Free Agency.

Actually Detroit's started in the draft but point taken.

Lions:
3 first rounders
1 third rounder
1 FA

Vikes:
2 first rounders with one who needs to be cut yesterday.
1 second rounder
2 scrap heapers

Yeap. No GM is perfect. That said imagine how different this team/off season looks like if we go in, with the cap room we have, and 2 out of the 3 disaster draft picks actually panning out.

Cine
Booth
Ingram

Will Chiefs let Trey Smith go? OLine is a problem and he is an All Pro. Franchise Tag??

Don't know how Smith factors into the Chiefs' plans, but after last night they need all the OL help they can muster.

Jalen Carter made Trey Smith look like Dru Samia

Really like some of the Skor North Offseason plans.

There is a way to get this roster where it needs to be....they outlined 3 different ways already but each one was interesting.

The Chiefs had a terrible o-line. Not sure what team you were watching all season.

Could be the Philly DLine was that good.....not that KC had a horrible OLine.

5th is pretty good. Got owned in the SB though.

If KAM doesn't see that we need to put $$$ in both lines now, there is no hope for him.

For real. Especially since KOC called that out in his last press conf. There is also rumors that he was trying to get Ingram out quicker but was being overruled (or maybe talked out of it) and he wasn't happy with it.

Big year for ole Kwes!

I'd think the seat has to be warming up...

Lots of scenarios where he could get shown the door
- blows another draft
- JJM is a bust
- JJM is just OK and DTurner is a bust
- strikes out in FA

Last year FA offseason was one of the best I can remember... but probably not enough overall.

However... it's the offeason... I'm going full optimist.

- Kwesi nails FA
- Kwesi moves and shakes for a good draft
- JJM is a star
- DTurner racks double digit sacks

A couple guys that Skor North have mentioned that I think would be very good FA signings at not at the top money (outside the obvious of course):

Osa Odighizuwa: Dallas DL
Levi Onwuzurike: Detroit DL
JK Dobbins: LAC RB
Nate Hobbs: LV Slot CB

Jets say bye to Rodgers.

$49M cap hit. The Jets will be the Jets.

They were awful. They had the third worst rushing game in the NFL, which has been a big part of their offense the past two seasons.

Do you think Hunt/Pacheco are as talented as Barkley?

Pacheco has been over rated since his injury..

Offensive Line has to be a priotiy.. Mobil qbs can help, but they also get knees and ankles trashed..

Phillys DL was full on beat mode..

And their offensive like in short yardage and pass pro, was far superior..

We need that, badly..

Too bad we have no picks and a no show TE to show for that fiasco.

I do think they need a near perfect offseason in FA/Draft/UDFA.

Trey Smith, Drew Dalman at center, and Hufanga at safety will make us a contender.

Dalman would be a good signing....if they signed Dalman they probably would go G Zietler G Mekari?

CB Carlton Davis: 16-18M
CB Murphy: 16-18M
C Dalman: 15M
G Becton: 14M
DL Poona Ford: 7M

Draft is strong on DLine. If blue chipper falls to #24, grab him. If not, trade back and get a 2nd and 3rd rounder or two 2nd rounders.

Wow. I like this scenario. If we do this and get one or two draft picks that can play a little bit, I'll be happy.

Trey Smith franchised.
