Mecole is a great madden player with his speed. I'd be looking to snag an impact WR in round 1. I have trouble finding WR's later in the draft, but have had solid luck with other positions in later rounds. There are always some solid TE's in the middle rounds to start alongside Kelce, and take over for him when he hangs it up in a year or two.

Probably going to bring back one of the two because the cap situation is not great. I could release Frank Clark and get a little more space, but I want to keep it as close to real as possible and wait until after the draft.

There's three, maybe four receivers that could go on Day 1 (I'll do a mock later) and they're all likely gone. I don't want to trade up if I don't need to, unless one of those guys falls close. This is a really, really weak TE class also, so I'll probably just hold on to Gray/Fortson for another year.

2022 Offseason Preview: Defense

By Tyler Barrister | Kansas City Star | February 23rd, 2022

Defensive Line

Returning: Frank Clark, Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi, Mike Danna, Khalen Saunders, Joshua Kaindoh, Tershawn Wharton
Pending FA: Melvin Ingram III, Alex Okafor, Jarran Reed

The foursome of Clark, Jones, Nnadi, and Ingram was pretty formidable, but Ingram will be thirty-four next season, Okafor thirty-two, and it's virtually a lock that Frank Clark is going to be traded or cut post-June 1st. Prior to Brett Veach leaving the GM post, he re-signed Nnadi to a two-year, $11 million extension, which maintains the Chiefs going at least two-deep on the interior with Jones, Nnadi, Wharton, and Saunders. There are more questions than answers on the ends, with Okafor and Ingram likely on the outs. Mike Danna has flashed as a rusher in spots, but at this point, the metrics point to him being better against the run over the pass.

With the limited capital the Chiefs have, and the value of pass rushers climbing ever higher, it seems more likely that the pass rush will have to be addressed through the draft. It's possible that the organization could bring Ingram back on a 'prove-it' deal for one year, but five sacks in just nine games with the Chiefs might net him a multi-year deal on the open market.

Linebackers

Returning: Willie Gay, Jr., Nick Bolton
Pending FA: Anthony Hitchens, Dorian O'Daniel, Ben Niemann

It took several weeks to get them both going; and Gay in particular battled health issues throughout the season, but the two returning linebackers are amongst the most promising in the league. They still lack depth, and Hitchens is almost certain to be cut as soon as the new GM is hired. With cap space that is probably only going to be in the $12 to $15 million range, there won't be a lot of money to go out and spend in the free agent market, much like at defensive end. It's a good draft for rush linebackers, but since the Chiefs play a 4-2-5 type of defense, they depend more on their front four to get pressure.

It's a good opportunity for the new GM (whomever that may be) to churn the linebacker room. Niemann is not likely to return, and while he's been a valuable special teams player, O'Daniel has been a pretty big disappointment as a third-round selection. Some mock drafts have the Chiefs going with Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean, who is a more traditional 4-3 style of player, with the 32nd pick.

Secondary

Returning: L'Jarius Sneed, Rashad Fenton, Deandre Baker, Juan Thornhill
Pending FA: Tyrann Mathieu, Mike Hughes, Daniel Sorensen, Armani Watts, Charvarius Ward

The biggest question mark of the offseason will be getting Mathieu extended, but it's far from a certainty right now. He's played a huge, huge role in getting the Chiefs to three straight Super Bowls, but he's on the wrong side of thirty and safety is at best the third-most important position on the defense, after pass rush and corner. If Mathieu does end up walking, it's easy to imagine sliding Sneed over to the strong safety spot due to his tackling prowess and above-average cover skills, but there's no doubt this defense would be better with a healthy and productive Honey Badger. It's just going to have to come at the right price.

Mathieu staying would also turn defensive back into a luxury, rather than a need. It's probably still a position worth taking since you can't have enough good defensive backs, but it's not a position that would be prioritized in that case.

Special Teams

Returning: Harrison Butker, Tommy Townsend, James Winchester (LS), Mecole Hardman (Ret.)
Pending FA: None

Led by coordinator Dave Toub, the Chiefs' special teams is amongst the best in the league. Butker has struggled a bit with extra points in his career, with ten missed PAT's in his last three seasons, but has the second-most 50-plus yard field goals in that same time frame, with only Justin Tucker in Baltimore kicking more. Winchester, the long snapper, was good enough to get a two-year extension last November. Hardman and Mike Hughes split time last season returning kicks, but with Hughes' likely headed to free agency, the job appears to be all Hardman's.

I would expect the Chiefs to bring in some players to audition for other teams or the practice squad, but barring injury or something unforeseen, it's hard to imagine any major changes to the special teams units, especially if they can get both O'Daniel and Marcus Kemp re-signed.

Mock Draft: Post-Super Bowl

By Todd McShay | ESPN.com | February 24th, 2022

The draft is still three months and change away, but this is when the real moving and shaking begins on our Big Board. After weeks of sitting in the 8-12 range, a big two-game stretch in the CFP propelled Aidan Hutchinson to the very top as the newly-minted top player on our board, and our current pick as the number-one draft choice.

Liberty quarterback Malik Willis and Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad Gardner have seen their stock fall, although Gardner should still find a home in the last ten picks or so of Day 1.

1. Detroit Lions -- Aiden Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan
Hutchinson is Michigan through and through -- high school, college, and eventually the pro ranks. Jared Goff may turn out not be the answer behind center, but I think he's going to get another year. The Lions had the worst pass-rush win rate (21.3%) in the league, and the big Wolverine pass rusher is a quick remedy with their first of two first-round selections.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon
More projectability than production, the six-foot-five edge rusher from the Ducks program gives the Jags bookend rushers, forming quite the tandem with Josh Allen on the other side. The hope is that youngster K'Lavon Chiasson can be pushed by Thibodeaux, giving the the Jags one of the best young LB corps in the league, combined with Myles Jack.

3. New York Giants (from Chicago) -- Evan Neal, OT, Alabama
I know there will be some pressure to take Kenny Pickett or Matt Corral here, but the Giants haven't given up hope quite yet on Daniel Jones, who still has two years left on his rookie deal if you include his fifth-year option. Neal should slot in perfectly on the left side, or on the right if the Giants can nab someone like Terron Armstead in free agency, should he become available.

4. Houston Texans -- Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh
With Deshaun Watson's legal troubles possibly playing out into the 2022 season, the Texans should hedge their bets and grab their future signal caller in case Watson is down for any period of time this year. Even if Watson eventually returns and is dealt elsewhere, who's under center won't be on their list of concerns.

5. New York Jets -- Derek Stingley, Jr., CB, LSU
Ideally, the Jets would take Neal, but Robert Saleh gets the press corner that he loves for his defensive style.

6. Philadelphia Eagles (from Miami) -- Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame
Built like a linebacker, Hamilton can play deep, in the box, or can cover space. He had six INT and seven PBU in just seven games for the Irish this past season.

7. Philadelphia Eagles -- Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia
Interior linemen rarely go in the top ten like they used to, but Davis is a rare exception with his size and athletic ability -- he'll make Fletcher Cox even more dangerous than he already is as a pass-rusher.

8. Washington Football Team -- Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
The defense ranked amongst the top-five units in the league the last eight weeks of the season, but the offense ranked 27th in yards and 22nd in points in that same time frame. They lack a top-flight QB. Corral will need a few more weapons around him, but Terry McLaurin and Antonio Gibson isn't a bad place to start.

9. New Orleans Saints -- Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State
QB is a likely consideration here, but only if Pickett and/or Corral is on the board at this point, as the gap between those two and the next group is pretty wide. No matter who the QB ends up being, they'll need weapons, and depending on who you talk to, Wilson is arguably the best wideout on the board.

10. New York Giants -- Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
A bit on the small side, but as relentless a pass rusher as you'll find in the draft. Also, excels at run fits from either side of the formation. He'll team with former Georgia Bulldog Azeez Olujari quite well.

11. Atlanta Falcons -- George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue
Second only to Hutchinson amongst Big Ten edge players, Karlaftis relies more on power than true speed and agility. A strong combine performance could vault him into the top ten, as there are a question or two about his athleticism.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (from Ind.) -- Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
The six-foot-four Burks is a matchup nightmare, using his size and leaping ability to win 1v1's against smaller defensive backs; made first-team All-SEC after a 65-catch season. The Slim Reaper is a great player, but having a big target downfield that can win one-on-one's is a big deal for a young QB.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers -- DeMarvin Leal, DE, Texas A&M
At six-foot-four and nearly 300 pounds, Leal still has the lateral quickness and strength to be a force either inside or on the end. In short, he's the perfect five-tech in the Steelers' defensive alignment.

14. Los Angeles Chargers -- Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington
With the cornerback position in flux in LA, McDuffie gives head coach Brandon Staley the cover corner that complements emerging young safety Nasir Adderley. Also, is one of the best tackling corners of the draft, if not the past few.

15. Denver Broncos -- Andrew Booth, Jr., CB, Clemson
2020 third-rounder Michael Ojemudia has been a bit of a disappointment, spending more time on the injury report than on the field. Vic Fangio grabs the corner in the draft with perhaps the best ball skills of any cornerback prospect in this class, and he'll play behind fellow first-rounder Pat Surtain II and Ronald Darby.

16. New York Jets (from SEA) -- Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
Lloyd has the size and speed to be a day one starter for Robert Saleh, as he can get after it sideline-to-sideline; and also get after the quarterback, even up the middle.

17. Minnesota Vikings -- Travon Walker, DE, Georgia
At this point, he's a better run defender than a pass rusher, but the Vikings could use help in that regard, too. Having Danielle Hunter on the other side should help him get more 1-v-1 opportunities as a rookie.

18. Las Vegas Raiders -- Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
Even though Damon Arnette didn't work out, the Raiders shoot their shot with another first-round corner, this time with Kaiir Elam. The six-foot-one Elam allowed receptions on less than half his targets over the past three years at Florida. The Raiders' secondary has a chance to be real, real good with Nate Hobbs and Jonathan Abram back there with him.

19. Carolina Panthers -- Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina
Had a down junior season, but that might have had more to do with losing some quality talent around him, rather than a dip in performance. Still, he went from a guy discussed as potentially the number-one overall pick to the back half of the first round. It benefits the Panthers, as they look to try and move on from Sam Darnold and Cam Newton.

20. Miami Dolphins (from San Francisco) -- Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama
While he didn't originally pick Alabama out of high school, Williams will team up with former Tide players Tua Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle to give the former some real weapons on the outside along with Davante Parker, who has seen his performance dip somewhat.

21. Cleveland Browns -- David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan
Ojabo has been playing football just five years, and this past season was his first real taste of action -- and he didn't disappoint. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound defensive end racked up eleven sacks and twelve TFL as a fourth-year junior.

22. Tennessee Titans -- Jalen Wydermyer, TE, Texas A&M
Since Delanie Walker left, the Titans have failed to get much production out of the tight end spot (31st of 32 teams). Wydermyer is a big target who has surprising athleticism for such a big man (6-foot-6, 270), although he struggled somewhat with drops (six this past season).

23. Buffalo Bills -- Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia
Jerry Hughes' retirement leaves an opening for a young pass-rusher to take his place, and Nolan Smith and his 6-foot-4, 245-pound frame will fit the bill; an impressive mix of speed and power off the edge.

24. Arizona Cardinals -- Kenyon Green, IOL, Texas A&M
He played right tackle this past season for the Aggies, but the Cardinals' more immediate need is at right guard, and that's really where he fits best at the NFL level.

25. New England Patriots -- Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota
A huge (6-foot-9, 380!) right tackle that might make Bill Belichick forget about Trent Brown. Has some issues with hand placement in pass protection, but OL coach Dante Scarnecchia is one of the best in the biz.

26. Green Bay Packers -- Drake London, WR, Southern Cal
With some uncertainty at receiver, the Packers grab a dynamic playmaker from the Trojans' program. The 6-foot-5 pass-catcher was Jaxson Dart's primary target this season before breaking an ankle during the ninth week of the year, catching eighty-eight passes for over 1,000 yards.

27. Baltimore Ravens -- Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State
Baltimore hopes to get both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards back and 100% healthy this season, but the Heisman-finalist KW3 is good enough to get at least number-two snaps from the jump.

28. Dallas Cowboys -- Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
A natural center (and not a sexy pick), but is pro-ready right out of the gate and has played guard, as well.

29. Detroit Lions (from L.A. Rams) -- Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati
Watching him do battle with Alabama's Jameson Williams was fun to watch. That game caused his stock to slip a little, but he's stil a bonafide first round talent. The Lions need secondary help, and Gardner provides Detroit with a big, physical corner to go up against the likes of Justin Jefferson and Davante Adams in the division.

30. Cincinnati Bengals -- Jaxson Kirkland, OT, Washington
The Bengals continue to put pieces around Joe Burrow, this time getting arguably the best tackle in the Pac-12 this past season.

31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
With both Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown being pending free agents, Tampa keeps the weapons flowing for Tom Brady as he enters NFL season #23. Olave is considered one of the best route-runners in the draft, making him a perfect fit for Brady's style.

32. Kansas City Chiefs -- Ikem Ekwonu, OT, N.C. State
Could probably go defensive back here, especially if Tyrann Mathieu doesn't return. That said, the Chiefs may not be completely sold on Lucas Niang as a starter at right tackle. Ekwonu plays on the left side for the Wolfpack, but his body type is more suited on the right side.

Candidates Emerge For GM Role

By Tyler Barrister | Kansas City Star | February 24th, 2022

Three candidates have emerged as the favorites to be named as the new Chiefs' GM -- ESPN analyst and former pro personnel executive Louis Riddick, Tampa Bay football research director Jacqueline Davidson, and Kansas City area native Trey Brown, who currently serves as the player personnel executive for the St. Louis Battlehawks of the XFL. However, Brown has NFL front office experience with the Patriots and Eagles in their scouting departments. He's the youngest candidate at thirty-six.


Another potential candidate, Chiefs assistant scouting director Ryan Poles, took himself out of the running when he was introduced as the New York Giants' new GM following the retirement of longtime executive Dave Gettleman. The 37-year-old Poles got his start with the Chiefs, and taking the Giants' job was a 'dream come true' for the New York native, who played collegiately at Boston College.


The favorite for the job when the opening was first announced, Brandt Tilis, will remain the interim for the time being, but removed himself from consideration. He'll remain in his role as the salary cap 'guru' for the club, per new team president and former GM Brett Veach, and both Veach and Tilis will be in Indianapolis for the Combine beginning tomorrow.


Riddick, 52, is the most recognizable name on the list, having been on ESPN since 2014 in a variety of roles. Notably, he worked with Andy Reid and current Eagles GM Howie Roseman in Philadelphia for three seasons (2010-12) as the director of pro scouting, and worked for one more year in Philly after Reid left before taking the ESPN job a year later. Reid and Roseman were the two that made the majority of personnel decisions, but Riddick was not without input as the head of an entire arm of the front office.


The most intriguing name is Davidson, 39, who basically heads up the analytics side of the organization for Tampa Bay. She's worked in that position just one year, but has been involved in the NFL since 2004, starting as a legal intern in the NFL offices before going to work under Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum in 2007, whose name was also floated for a brief time. If hired, she would be the first female GM in league history, and the second female hired by the organization for either a coaching (Katie Sowers) or front office position in as many years.


Veach also said that he hopes that an announcement will be made within the next few days on the new hire. With the NFL combine beginning tomorrow in Indy and the free agency period expected to begin in roughly three weeks, the new hire will surely need to hit the ground running. The NFL Draft will take place from April 28-30 in Las Vegas, which was to be the site of the 2021 draft, but was held virtually due to Covid-19. It is expected that with vaccines now readily available, and with NFL teams and personnel having very high vaccination rates, that in-person activities can take place.

Breaking: Rodgers On The Move

By ESPN.com Staff | February 26th, 2022

It's been seventeen long seasons, but it appears the marriage between long-time quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers is officially over -- they've agreed to send Rodgers to the Denver Broncos for two first-round picks and cornerback Michael Ojemudia. The Broncos sent their 2022 and 2023 first-round picks in the deal. Ojemudia was a third-round selection of the Broncos back in 2020, and adds depth behind Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas and Kevin King, who are currently free-agents-to-be.


The move kicked off quite a stir at the NFL Scouting Combine that had just started in Indianapolis, as reporters from all around the country were frantically making calls and writing stories, including the staff here at ESPN.


Our own Adam Schefter reported that Ojemudia was not originally part of the trade, as the Packers wanted an additional 2022 draft selection. But the asking price for that pick was too high, and GM Brian Gutekunst asked for additional cornerback depth in return instead. It is highly unlikely that Alexander, King, and Douglas all return, or even two of the three.


It has to be quite a blow to receiver Davonte Adams, who is still weighing whether or not to extend his contract with the Packers. Other receivers, like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, and Robert Tonyan are also free-agents-to-be that could now be on the fence about returning. On the flipside, the move also frees up $27 million in cap space for the cash-strapped Packers, who now appear to be moving forward with Jordan Love as the starting quarterback going into his third year in the league.


Schefter also reported that Rodgers agreed to the deal only if Denver would be willing to extend him beyond 2022, as his current deal is set to expire after this season. Apparently both sides played ball, as speculation of the deal heated up again in the recent days prior to the trade.


The move begs the question, though -- who else could be on the move? Russell Wilson has wanted out of Seattle for some time now. Deshaun Watson's legal troubles will probably keep him in Houston for the time being, but he's going to continue to sit out while the legal problems get sorted out, making any deal a non-starter. With Rodgers now in an absolutely loaded AFC West, what do the Raiders do under new head coach Brian Daboll? Derek Carr is a fine player, but he's clearly the bottom-rung QB in that division now. Do they look to make a move for Russ, or do they stand pat and try to put more around Carr and wait for next year's class of quarterbacks?


New Orleans is in search of a quarterback, although they certainly could bring Jameis Winston back, as he was playing well at the time of his injury. Pittsburgh has apparently moved on from Ben Roethlisberger, although Big Ben has not appeared to move on from the game itself, as he plans to play in 2022, even if it ends up not being in Pittsburgh. Do Miami or Carolina move on from their first-round guys, and now make a play for Russ since it appears Watson is going to be in limbo for some time?

Davidson Introduced As New Chiefs GM

By Tyler Barrister | Kansas City Star | February 29th, 2022

Chiefs Chairman/CEO Clark Hunt and team President Brett Veach introduced Jacqueline Davidson as the team's new general manager earlier this morning, as she takes over for Veach, who was promoted to president of the organization roughly two weeks ago, taking over for the retired Mark Donovan. The hiring marks a signficant piece of NFL history -- she's the first female to be named GM of an NFL team, and is the second female GM in professional sports. Kim Ng of MLB's Miami Marlins is the other female GM, and she was hired in November of 2020 for that role.


She comes over from Tampa Bay after just one year, but has been in the NFL in various capacities since 2004, when she interned in the NFL's legal affairs office. When Mike Tannenbaum of the Jets hired her in 2007, he had no idea that she would end up working under him for the next decade-plus, and was routinely involved in contract negotiations and statistical analysis. When Tannenbaum left in 2018 and went to ESPN, she worked under Joe Douglas until July 28th of 2020, finding her way to Tampa, where they created an entirely new position for her -- director of football research.


"A rock star," Tannenbaum deadpanned on ESPN early in the morning. "Kansas City just continues to nail it when it comes to personnel, and I think that her and Brett (Veach) and Andy (Reid) will all work well together. She worked for me for over a decade, and there aren't enough superlatives to explain her impact."


Veach will still have some say in personnel matters, as will head coach Andy Reid. However, the final decision will lie with her.


"I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for this opportunity," she said at her introductory press conference as the ninth GM in team history. "Kansas City is a first-class organization, and the conversations I've had with Clark (Hunt), Brett (Veach), and Andy (Reid) have all been informative and productive. As soon as we're finished here, it's right to work at keeping the Chiefs where they should be, and that's competing for championships year in and out."


Davidson said that he's also talked to some key players, as she's known she's had the job for the last few days, getting input from them. She also noted that she was looking forward to working with Reid on reviewing the current roster, and preparing for the draft and upcoming free agency.


"In the brief conversations I've had with her, I've been very impressed with her tenacity, and how sharp she is," Reid said of his new boss. "Of course, Brett will still have his thoughts here and there, and we'll still talk things out when it comes to personnel, but I think we're a better organization today than we were yesterday."

Prospective Free Agents Sign Extensions

By NFL Network Staff | nfl.com | March 16th, 2022

The Chiefs, Bucs, and Packers were all able to retain key contributors right before the first day of free agency, with Tyrann Mathieu, Rob Gronkowski, and Davante Adams all signing new deals with their current clubs. Gronkowski signed a one-year extension worth $10 million, with $4 million guaranteed.


However, Mathieu and Adams signed lengthy pacts, with both of them signing five-year extensions through 2026. The mercurial Chiefs' safety inked for $64 million over the next five seasons, with $36 million of that guaranteed. Earlier on in the offseason, tackle Orlando Brown and defensive lineman Derrick Nnadi agreed to multi-year extensions, as well.


With Aaron Rodgers now in Denver, the Packers not only used that extra cash to sign Adams to a five-year, $110 million extension ($45 million guaranteed), they also re-signed linebackers Devontae Campbell and Krys Barnes to three-year extensions, and re-structured the contract of Za'Darius Smith, adding a year on to his current contract that lowered the Pack's cap number.


Even though Ben Roethlisberger has now left the Steelers, Juju Smith-Schuster decided to return to the Steelers on a four-year contract worth $45 million ($15 million guaranteed). They are also rumored to be in the driver's seat to sign free-agent-to-be corner J.C. Jackson, as they have agreed in principle on a deal.


Other key players that signed extensions on the final day prior to free agency were Rams linebacker Von Miller (two years, $34 million, $16 million guaranteed), and Giants tight end Evan Engram (three years, $22 million, $13 million guaranteed).
