McD’s fingerprints on draft choices

Then there’s the recent draft where TWO defensive ends were taken in rounds 1 and 2. Huge free agent signing -Miller - defense. And DB Elam with a round one pick. So running backs (to ensure a strong ground game) and multiple picks and signings of defensive assets. A defensive coach’s dream!! But that’s not NFL 2024. Even with all these assets being devoted to defense, it’s been the defense which has repeatedly failed in the playoffs. Stop wasting Allen’s career, give him the weapons he needs and deserves, and let’s go outscore everybody. Step one, keep McD’s role in talent acquisition to a bare minimum. He has earned that

Yes, a pick that he actually traded UP for.  And yes, it is clearly evident that McDermott holds the power on draft day and even free agency.

They used enough resources they should field a solid D despite injuries. When ***** was going wrong early in the season did they do anything to help the O after Beanes prized WR signings ***** to bed, no they went out and did what they could to fix McDs defense. Oddly enough, despite all the injuries it was the least the Chiefs scored on them in 3 playoff games. Maybe that’s because our O held the ball for close to 2/3 of the game trying to dunk dunk down field all night long. WRs can’t get separation and when Allen makes an incredible throw they can’t catch.  Not really a surprise though, a lot of us didn’t buy into Beanes ***** about Davis’s ankle holding him back the year before. Nor did we buy into a couple Jags who been tossed around the league to be the answer. 

Yeah, I'm less willing to defend Beane on the offense he's provided. Too little too late. That ginormous contract he gave Miller could have gone to an A+ receiver that may have put them over the top, even taking into account the impact Miller might have had if he had stayed healthy. That was just a bad call. He saw how Tampa Bay got to Mahomes and thought that was the only way to stop him. Did he consider that Allen could simply outscore KC if he had sufficient weapons? Major fork in the road with that signing. Beane took us down the road to Pallokaville.
