Morning all...been out sick the last couple of days. Good to see Yi and SID on along with everyone else!
Stuff to address:
Gradkowski...the deal makes sense to me. Yes, it's a 4th Round pick, but Denver figures to be picking at the bottom of the round anyways. Kubiak and Dennison know this kid and what he can/can't do. At the very least, he provides solid depth and knowledge. At best, he becomes Denver's starting center.
Smith...another deal that makes sense. Smith's relationship with Kollar makes all the difference (27 sacks in 5 years under Kollar). He's a solid 3-4 DE that can start or be a part of a solid rotation with Walker, Jackson, and Wolfe. I like the signing.
To CG...I appreciate your optimism. Heck, I'd be saying the same things if I was in your position! I even defended McDaniels for a small stretch...
. That said, you know what's coming. Maclin has been healthy for 16 games twice in his career and has only topped 1000 yards
ONCE. Was it the system? Smart money says it was. Smart money is a foreign concept for KC though...Maclin's cap number of $12,400,000 in '16 and '17 and $13,400,000 in '18 and '19 prove that. I will give you this though...at least all that money will get you more TDs than you got with Bowe's contract!
To the moderators that have said hello...it's nice to meet you all. It's cool that you're a part of the community...being vested in what happens on these boards makes you instantly better than any mods we've seen before.
To CK...thanks for having a place we can hang out!
