Chiefs - Sammy Watkins, Mitchell Schwartz, Anthony Hitchens, Cam Erving, Kendall Fuller, Damien Williams, Traded up For Mahomes as well

Saints - Max Unger, Larry Warford, Damario Davis, AJ Klein, Eli Apple, Ted Ginn, Signed Brees as a Free Agent originally
For sure, every year i always am hoping we free up the Draft through FA and never do quite enough to do this. Last year i think we did better with the Glenn trade and went a little further and drafted a Center with our 1st round pick. Pretty shocking considering the history of this team and not valuing Center. But we needed to go a step farther and should of gotten a Guard in FA and drafted an OT in the 4th round.
This year we have to go much further especially if Taylor is eyeing a QB in the first round like Haskins or Murray. We will have to get atleast one OL in FA and atleast one playmaking LB'er to free this up. Think it might actually happen this year from what we are seeing. Taylor seems to have complete control and is creating HIS team of coaches to go with HIS team.
