DeJean at #40 seems incredibly optimistic.

The NFL Mock Draft Database gives me this outcome for the Commanders, which I think they would be really happy with. Any time you can pick up 18 new players and 32 draft picks (including six 1st round picks), that's a successful draft.

These were all trades that were offered to me, and nothing that I proposed or countered.

Have you applied for a position with our Chiefs yet?

White CB doesn't make my board.

And before you say it, YES, this is racist lol

I'm also white, so I think I'm probably allowed to take a few cracks at my own.

Tried Fanspeak today... forced myself to pick from the best available that I could see without scrolling.

32: R1 P32 WR Xavier Worthy - Texas
64: R2 P32 S Jaden Hicks - Washington State
95: R3 P31 OT Blake Fisher - Notre Dame
131: R4 P31 TE Cade Stover - Ohio State
159: R5 P24 C Christian Mahogany - Boston College
173: R5 P38 CB Willie Drew - Virginia State
242: R7 P22 EDGE Jaylen Harrell - Michigan

I must've accidentally set it on Bret Veach mode.

I agree... He was there on the simulator, I doubt he's there next Friday.

Today's draft: Traded up this years 1st and next years first, and Ten 3rd, and 2 picks this year, but got the OT, son of a legend. Don't think he will fall to 11 on Thursday though.

This is actually the kind of big move I think could happen. I also expect 2 trades, Veach doesn't like to stand still.

NFL Mock Draft Database with no trades

32 Adonai Mitchell WR (Again KC finds themselves needing to draft a WR high due to our current leading WR in legal trouble / limbo)
64 Kris Jenkins DL (A DL this high might be a reach, but we need to prepare for life after Jones and inject some youth in the D-line to rotate Jones out)
95 Blake Fisher OT (This is assuming KC does not resign Donovan Smith)
131 Jarvis Brownlee Jr. CB (Late round CB to bolster the DB room)
159 Zak Zinter IOL (I'm assuming either Thuney or Smith will be gone after next year, get some depth on the line)
173 Isaac Guerendo RB (Late round RB, low risk, potential good reward)
221 Xavier Thomas EDGE (Best value in the mock, maybe not needed with the depth we have a EDGE, but better to have and not need than need and not have)

4-23 (NFL MOCK DRAFT DB)...still trying to find a desperate, playoff-starved GM to trade into 32 for Nix/Penix, but doesn't seem to happen. Stilll traded down for an extra 4th...

39) Guyton (is he ready or do they need 1 more year from Donovan Smith? Am I selling Wanya short?)
64) Roman Wilson
95) T'Vondre Sweat
131) Mason McCormick
142) Cam Hart (trade down bonus)
149) Leonard Taylor
173) Isaac Guerendo
221) Anthony Gould

I like this one...two starters for next year's Oline, big upgrade on D-line, unsexy upgrade at WR (big hopes for good route runner Wilson) with a big wild card (Gould), and at WR, and depth at CB with 6-3" Hart to rotate in on big receivers.

Wouldn't hate this at all...Fautanu a permanent fixture for years, kick Wanya to RT, get rid of Taylor's salary asap, pick IOL in top 2 picks next year, win more.
