There isn’t much separation between Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher.

When the Chiefs traded away a second-round pick in this year’s draft and a conditional third rounder next year for the right to watch Alex Smith be something in the vast wasteland between safe and spectacular, we were given at least one draft certainty: they’re not taking Geno Smith first overall.

That trade was the first of many moves that followed among the teams in the top 10 in which they scrambled away from the West Virginia Smith. For the Chiefs, the ramifications of their trade with San Francisco will impact more than just the quarterback position.

Chiefs sign Sean Smith

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Kansas City Chiefs, Sean Smith on Mar 14, 2013

Miami Dolphins v Arizona Cardinals

UPDATE THE SECOND: The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Sean Smith to a three-year deal.

 

On paper — and you know, that’s where football contests are always won and lost — the Chiefs now have a secondary that could ascend to join the league’s elite defensive backfields. Or maybe that’s a bit premature, but the potential is certainly there.

After signing Smith to a three-year deal worth $18 million (a whopping $11 million of which is guaranteed), the Chiefs now have a cornerback trio consisting of the former Dolphin, Brandon Flowers, and Dunta Robinson to play alongside safety Eric Berry. Chasing Smith and stockpiling corners became a necessity for the Chiefs after the divisional rival Broncos signed Wes Welker yesterday, and he joined a group of receivers that was already sort of pretty good already with Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas.

One of their Smith or Robinson will likely slide over to primarily play in the slot, and it’ll most likely be Robinson after he was often used there this past season by the Falcons.

Report: Dorsey and Chiefs are closing in on new deal

Posted by Kyle Smith under Kansas City Chiefs, Rumors on Mar 10, 2013

San Diego Chargers v Kansas City Chiefs

CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora is reporting that the Kansas City Chiefs and Glenn Dorsey are closing in on a new deal that would keep the defensive lineman in KC.

As La Canfora notes, it seemed like Dorsey was essentially out the door in Kansas City after he struggled early and finished the 2012 season on IR with a calf injury.

In 4 games last year, the former fifth overall pick (2008) had 7 tackles and 0.0 sacks.

The NFL’s new Free Agency negotiating window weekend has begun and the Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the action by reportedly agreeing to a 3-year deal with veteran cornerback Dunta Robinson.

Robinson played all 16 games last season for the Falcons, finishing with one interception, one forced fumble and 67 tackles.
