Each team has tried to position themselves to win the division, knowing full-well that only two (or a maximum three) have any chance at seeing postseason glory.The Broncos kicked their newest QB out of town in return for SuperBowl XLVII MVP Joe Flacco, while the Raiders are ready to cash in the three first-round picks they amassed in just one season’s fire sale. The Chargers and the Chiefs have stood largely by their successful 2018 rosters, but there are plugs to fill on both teams. Earlier this week, word began to sneak out that the Chiefs and the Seahawks were in talks to deal DE Frank Clark to another team.According to Ian Rappoport, the three top teams were the Jets, the Chiefs, and the Colts. Today, the direction of the trade was narrowed to the Chiefs alone.Well, it wasn’t long AT ALL before the concrete details were hammered out.The Seahawks walk away with an extra 1st round this year and a 2nd next year, all while avoiding a player that they didn’t really want to pay.On Monday Darius Philon Jerseys 2019 , NFL.com summarized Clark’s financial impact:The numbers aren’t released yet, but it is clear that the Chiefs wanted an impact player.Clark is a talented pass rusher coming off his best season, with a career-high 13 sacks. It is somewhat surprising to see the Chiefs make this move, as they are still deep in licking their wounds over Hunt and Hill issues. For Clark, a history of domestic violence issues stemming from his college days will surely be a point of focus.In all, a surprising move for the Chiefs, due to the financial impact and the very poor optics this offers the franchise. The on-field results, however, are yet to be written.FLASH UPDATE:Money details announced!Holy moly cannoli, the Chiefs apparently outbid themselves several times to make this deal happen! At $63.5 million guaranteed, this trade no longer affects just 2019/2020 trade equity, but it will surely impact the Chiefs’ ability to sign and retain players by the end of the year.-Jason “C’mon guys.

On throws within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, Grier was off target only 5.5% of the time – the best such figure in all of college football. As much I’ve hammered home downfield throws mattering most, that sort of pinpoint placement underneath is still a valuable skill. And it’s not like he couldn’t throw the ball down the field.2019 NFL Draft fixes for all 32 NFL teams - PFF Analysis TeamScharping performed well over the course of his college career and earned pass-blocking grades above 87.0 every season. During his entire career with the Huskies, he only allowed five sacks, and four of those sacks came in his freshman year. With players like Cody Ford and Andre Dillard likely getting taken ahead of Pick 28, the Chargers could get a good consolation in Scharping.NFL draft predictions for all 32 teams: Who's trading up, who's taking a QB and more - ESPNThe Bolts have only three defensive tackles on the roster -- Brandon Mebane, Justin Jones and T.Y. McGill -- so it should be a position they target early in the draft. They need an interior pass-rusher with a profile similar to Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs -- a player who can push the pocket, helping talented edge rushers Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram get to the quarterback more consistently.NFL GM Power Rankings: John Dorsey, Kevin Colbert rank top 5 - Gregg RosenthalFew general managers have bigger hits spread across the draft ( Joey Bosa Austin Ekeler Jerseys 2019 , No. 3 overall; Derwin James, No. 17; Keenan Allen, No. 76; Desmond King, No. 151) and free agency ( Casey Hayward, Russell Okung) than Telesco. Then again, the organization has underperformed, considering Philip Rivers' Hall of Fame-level of play. The team's lines remain unfinished on both sides of the ball.Three reasons to be optimistic about the Los Angeles Chargers - John WozniakRivers has broken passing records for a quarterback not to have appeared in a Super Bowl. Anthony Lynn has done a great job at coaching the Chargers into a competitive team. 2019 is going to be tough, but Rivers and the Chargers’ senior squad members have what it takes to reach the playoffs. Topping the AFC West should be priority number one.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
