With his farming system, building up potential prospects to starting lineup potential is the name of the game. A team like the Royals that usually can not spend much on top prospects in the league makes and “farms” their own.
Examples of these “harvested” prospects are Christian Colon, Whit Merrifield, Eric Hosmer, and Mike Moustakas. So, how would the farm system work in the NFL? Pretty much just like the Royals do it.
Right now the Chiefs have potential farming prospects that could use a few D-league seasons. Even though Knile Davis will most likely be dropped or traded sooner than later, he would be a prime candidate for said system.
Also considering the many quarterback talks the Chiefs are getting right now, they could maximize their future options with a quarterback farm in the developmental leagues. No matter what position, there are positives everywhere.

Just adding a farm system component to a team creates serious value.
So, what do you think? Is a NFL D-league a positive addition to professional football? If you do believe that, good luck convincing the NFL to buy into your idea. Even though you probably can not get the NFL to listen to you, you have a great set of ears right here at KC Kingdom in the comments section. So type away!
