What position since they drafted momes do you think they have spent the least draft capital on you want to give it a guess like got rash rice the answer is quarterback but the the act the next answer is defensive tackle they have not they they have drafted incredibly well

And they have drafted a ton of corners and they’ve drafted so well they can let uh travarius Ward walk out the door they let a guy go to Washington forget his name right now Thornhill they let and and sne might walk out the door this year they draft a bunch of defensive

Ends back-to-back first rounders they’ve drafted wide receivers they haven’t hit on all of them but Sky Moore Rashid rice they’ve the one spot they have not addressed his D tackle and not a lot of great D tackles available right I know matuk could be available but that would

Be weird to not pay Chris Jones and then just pay 80% of it for Mauk I don’t think they would do that and I so I would overpay for him he’s three years younger than Aaron Donald he is not quite Aaron Donald because the next closest thing and Aaron Donald’s been

Highly productive these last three years and so if you follow that same path here’s the other reason there are four I don’t know if Chris is a first ballot guy yet okay but four no doubt Hall of Famers associated with the dynasty of players Mahomes Kelce Hill Chris Jones

Right those are the four Mahomes didn’t go anywhere Kelsey at some point one year two years three years will leave and you get nothing back cuz he will retire Tyreek you opted into losing him but you got a ton back for Chris to leave and you get

Nothing in return you lose two of your four hall of famers over a stretch and then three of your four eventually and two of them you got nothing back that’s hard to deal with so they would they could but I would that’s the one spot I

Would overpay to keep I go as far as what you’re saying with the four I think if Chris Jones Never plays another snap he’s a Hall of Famer oh I agree I was saying first batt the other guys I’m saying this guy he is the most underrated player of this entire Chiefs

Run if you take a look at the top 10 vote getter for defensive player of the year he didn’t even make the list Don Bland finished fifth in defensive player Chris Jones is a game record in the playoffs it’s his hit on Josh Allen it’s his pressure on Brock py that makes all

These plays and he’s beloved in the locker room I saw Chris in Vegas at the Super Bowl spent some time with his two agents the cats brothers who are characters in themselves he wants to be a chief he expresses much in the pr the Chiefs want him I will go to the combine

Next week having dinner with Brett V and Andy Reid on Monday night if you want to go and see us at St Elmos we’ll go we could do TMZ we could do the whole thing we’ll be there you want to join we can big topic will be what do we do to keep

Chris Jones in this thing because free agency starts and I will tell you everybody in the chief’s Kingdom and everyone in that building wants him Chris Jones wants to be there I would overpay I at the sacrifice of what I mean you let everyone else walk if you

Have to Chris Jones belongs in a Chief’s uniform they didn’t do it last off seon the ask might have been too big but I thought he he exceeded expectations to me this is a no-brainer you pay the guy what he wants he’s earned it and he

Earned it again this year will he take a little less I don’t think so I think he wants his money I think so he hasn’t gotten that second major deal and he played on the one-year deal this year brw wants everyone to take a little bit

Less no no I’m just asking um I think he earned it he would be my top yeah he would be my top priority keeping him but like you said Nick they could win it without him two years ago when they won it you know they won it last year uh

Obviously the receiving core what great you had ju guu okay but it wasn’t a great receiving court that defense was 16th in scoring defense and 11th overall so this year the defense carried him it was top two but they won it still without a great receiving core and a

Mediocre defense so they could do it again but I wouldn’t try it I they would have to Pivot without Chris Jones you have to Pivot back to a more explosive offense like because because you have it’s so much of the success of a George carof first couple years and these other

Guys are because so much of the focus is on Chris here’s the other thing Joe burrow hopes you get rid of him Allen hopes he Brock P hopes he walks is that somebody but I’m more worried about one of the other AF trying to weaken the Chiefs and buy

Overpay maybe the Patriots but we have a lot of cap space and when we meet up in the playoffs okay all right pretty solid 13-4 to 4 and four and he led the NFL with 18 passes uh passing touchdowns at the time he heard as Achilles so what is

The best fit for Kirk I mean okay so this is where all be don’t do it the guy’s making 880 and just took Mahomes to over time hey hey hey buddy let me give the take uh Kurt Cousins has made $231 million in his career 11th most all time

He’s going to finish in the top 10 of all football players ever the best fit if he wants to win a Super Bowl is to go to his you know the old high school sweetheart and the guy that didn’t Scout Patrick Mahomes because he was so certain he was getting kurk cousins and

Kyle Shanahan and I know people will be mad it’s unfair to Brock Sports can be unfair sorry the ners would be better they have been to four NFC championship games last five years they’ve been to two Super Bowls they can’t get over the hump because the Gap has been that big

At quarterback among other reasons again birie played fine in the Super Bowl he’s not the reason they lost but if they had a Difference Maker at quarterback maybe it goes differently and by the way doesn’t mean you lose Brock pie you have Brock pie under contract for the next

Two years for 880 Grand and then 1.1 million so the best fit is San Francisco on a cheap deal now will he take less money I don’t know if he would I bet you Kyle would do it I I I think he’s one of Kurt Cousins for better part of seven

Years and so that’s the answer I’m not going to sit here as much as I like pery and say he’s better than Kurt Cousins or definitely better than Kurt Cousins but what is Kurt Cousins deficiency big games big moments Prime Time right I mean we know that’s not a

Problem with Brock per do we yeah yes we do okay we the go post I mean you’re lucky they’re not in here you wanted you wanted him to prove he could come back he did it twice in the playoffs 17 point deficit yes and and as you guys said

Played well in the Super Bowl not awesome but well we don’t know if Kurt Cousins does that I as much as I like cousins cuz he is great in the regular season when it’s at 1:00 and nobody’s watching I’m just saying that Nick that cuz they got to win it next year they

Got to win it next year be a lot of pressure on Kurt Cousins that’s all I’m saying cousins to me is a viking I I I okono likes him quy the GM is this is his first big decision the fully guaranteed and they’re not fully guaranteed look they’ve given him fully

Guaranteed money in the past is that necessarily a an all be for Kirk Cousins to your point he’s made the 11th most money in the NFL history he’s they’re happy in Minnesota they built their home you watch the quarterback I think the greatest thing for Kirk Cousins as sad

As it sound was that quarterback series on Netflix I think he endeared a lot of people I think he came a long way and I think people are rooting for Kirk Cousins as opposed to him being a punching bag and a strowman he’s being put on the NFL honors and a dancing

Thing and we laugh with him not at him which I think is huge and I think Vikings fans appreciate what he is and what they became without him I I’d be shocked if they let him walk out the building there so to me this is they did

This the regular season guys in week 17 they had him out there doing the skull chant shirtless that’s an that’s not a guy who we’re looking to replace he is part of that culture part of the fabric whether he’s a winner or not is a debate

He did go into New Orleans and beat a Shawn Payton Saints team that was really good in the playoffs and found Kyle Rudolph in the back of the end zone and win a big playoff game something that a lot of quarterbacks haven’t done in their NFL careers like little high low

From yeah I can I just I understand that brew has positioned it as if I’m hating on Brock even though Brew would not say there he thinks Brock is better than Kirk he he said he’s like I’m not saying he’s better than Kirk so I am just asking the audience this not necessarily

This group because I’ll just get double talk from that side of the table um would the ners let for anyone out there that is not a ners fan would you be more or less scared of the Niners next year if Kurt cousin if they added Kurt Cousins this off season and you’d be

More scared I think there’s a level a level and they could sign him how could you get more close to winning the Super than having a ball hit a guys okay I get it that was lastt point we are now mahes goes eight for eight I

Get it guys but that season’s now over and we’re talking about next season I know but there’s don’t you say wouldn’t you admit there’s a little bit of uncertainty with cousins what I said earlier with the big games but also coming off the injury he is older you

Know what it would be akin to it would be a kin to the Rams saying Jared Go’s good and we got the Super Bowl jar go yes but Matthew Stafford gets us over or the ners akin to we got to the Super Bowl and we’re one throw away from

Beating momes what could be closer than beating Mahomes than up in in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo they literally got rid of the guy they literally got rid of him for a guy from North Dakota State so the idea that they wouldn’t think about doing it

For Kyle’s long lost love I I disagree with Patriots draft Jaden Daniels at three and trade the 35th pick for T Higgins you’d sign up for that right yeah so it’s smart business if you’re Cincinnati yeah you’re going to jamar’s about to become the highest or second

Highest paid receiver ever he and Justin Jefferson Joe burrow we just saw him you you can’t in my opinion do all of that and then be like and also for one year we’re going to tag T Higgins and then let him walk out the door for nothing

That you do that if you have you know 39-year-old Drew Brees not if you have Joe burrow going into year five like that in in my opinion that would be irresponsible Team Management it’s also what I think they’re going to do I think they’re going to say gosh darn it we

Wanted one more year of Chase Higgins and burrow we didn’t get it last year because of the injury so we’re going to tag him and hold on to him oh wow and you and then let him walk out the door in a year this particular player is an

Interesting one cuz for years for decades really it was like the Bengals and 31 other teams how they do about their business and their practice facilities and they don’t get the best free Ag and Elizabeth Blackburn and Kate Blackburn have come in and taken a bit

More of the Reigns and Duke Tobin’s the G and suddenly The Bangles s like they’re this Forward Thinking big spending they go and get free agents this is an interesting one how are you going to handle the T Higgins one because to your point Jamar Chase is

Going to be the big fish this is one a maybe two and that might be an insult to T Higgins because he’s been outstanding but just the way it goes can they find a way to budget this Bo and make it all work if they do that’s that’s a

Franchise that is as Forward Thinking as all the others if not and T Higgins just walks and you get a compensatory pick sometimes that’s how it goes Alvin Harper leaves the Cowboys and goes to Tampa and that’s just what it is yeah I feel like he’s probably gone because I

Mean you got your he’s not your number one and Tyler Boyd you can keep for cheaper or you can draft a guy if you if you trade T get a first round pick like the kid from Princeton Andre yosibash this year who’s a sixth round pick who

Is great for them it’s a deep receiving group too when the draft thanks for watching subscribe here to get more from the show and to check out clips from other shows on FS1
