Who will replace DJ?

Good ole’ Derrick Johnson. He has been on the roster for so long, it will be hard to imagine life without hearing his name at some point every game. The harsh reality is though, DJ is old for a football player and he cannot DJ the middle of the field on his own anymore. How does one replace such a stalwart and dependable centerpiece?

Walter Football gives some nice looks at two draft prospects that will go anywhere from round 1 to 2. The first is Reuben Foster from, you guessed it, Alabama. Foster is quick in getting from sideline-to-sideline. He is a hard hitter too. His biggest flaw is his pass coverage skill. Pass coverage is something he could learn should he arrive in KC. Johnson can show him a few tricks.

The next guy is Zach Cunningham from Vanderbilt. Cunningham has shown the ability to move quick, shed blocks, and do well in pass coverage. Either of these men I would be very happy to have in Kansas City paired up with anyone we now have.

A brief heart to heart.

From one fan to another, the way the season ended hurt. It stung my red and gold pride. We can recover though. Pain is temporary. The offseason, a time to get excited, watch the team grow stronger, is nearly upon us. The Chiefs will be back on the field soon enough. These bad memories will fade as the roar of Arrowhead shakes our very cores. Our vigor will be renewed. The Kingdom will not stay down for long. Who’s with me?
