Grade the signing of Kaiir Elam! A, B, C, D, or F?
A
Fffffffffffffffffffffffff
This reminds me of the Orlando Scandrick signing, it made scene but still didn't work out!
Kaiir Elams first NFL INT came from a QB we know… Patrick Mahomes
👍
REAL ONE
C+…. 1st rd guy for pennies in the $… lets see merrit cook
NOTI GANG
Cut Ashton Gillotte, Jack Cochrane, Mike Caliendo and Clyde Edward-Helaire
Trade Drue Tranquill!!
D
Get an elite edge rusher and the defensive backs suddenly seem better. Trade up to get David Bailey.
C
I like the signing. He's a starter, and a diamond in the ruff. Get a draft Player and competition in the room will help.
B-. This guy was high on the Chiefs radar in 2022. He was projected to fall to us, then we traded up and got McDuffie. They signed him because they liked him then, and think he can still do the things they envisioned 4 years ago.
As if we as Chiefs fans don't remember…….He's garbage…..smh!!! Upside my ass, he is not good!!!!
This tells your that KC won’t be drafting CB in the first round at all. MAYBE 2nd and that’s a maybe but no CB first round. Which means it’s probably edge and DT first round WR second and or tackle
Imma say B-. But im excited to see how much he will grow in KC đź’Şđź«¶
Another indication that we are NOT drafting corner with any one of our top 50 picks. Case closed.
C
B
C he will get coached up by quality coaches so ya never know
I think it’s a B, just because he wasn’t part of any good defensive systems and I think the defensive room can help him improve
