There are still a lot of "Ifs" that need to be determined. But as it stands right now, the Chiefs have 5 draft picks in total, which doesn't leave them any room to move around while having only $177 dollars in cap space.
IMO, they need to draft towards the strength of this draft so that those players chosen can step in immediately and play at a championship level, especially those chosen in the first three rounds.
Now, IF they move down from #32 and collect another 3rd and 5th, they'll have some wiggle room and won't necessarily need to make sure their second 3rd rounder, 4th and two 5ths need to be ready Day One. That would will allow them to add some developmental pieces such as a Guard, Center and an extra CB.
And IF they can clear some cap space, there are plenty of guys out there like Jason Peters and others that may not mind playing for Vet Minimum or thereabout for the Super Bowl favorite.
But at this point, with only 5 draft picks and zero cap space, they need to hit in the first three rounds and preferably, the 4th as well, which doesn't leave them much room for depth and developmental players.
2021 will be a whole new world. The Chiefs will have a full compliment of draft picks plus several Comp Picks, along with a cap increase of at least $10 million (if not $20 million). 2021 would be, to me anyway, a more ideal time to consider drafting a tackle for the future.
