2024 NFL Draft: What would you have done differently?
What would you have done differently considering the way the board fell in the draft this year?
Round 1, #28: WR Xavier Worthy Round 2, #63: OT Kingsley Suamataia Round 4, #131: TE Jared Wiley Round 4, #133: S Jaden Hicks Round 5, #159: OL Hunter Nourzad Round 6, #211: CB Kamal Hadden Round 7, #248: IOL C.J. Hanson B+ Personally, I might've gone with another weapon instead of Hicks at #133 and probably RB Watson at #248 instead of Hanson but I'm no Veach! On second thought, there were some really sexy trade up options in the 4th that I would've liked to see us tap into: Sanders, Franklin, Baker, Walker, Irving, and Wright all went in the 4th and would've been more exciting picks. I guess MIA is getting roasted a bit in draft circles for trading a 3rd next year to move up in the 4th, so what do I know, but I would've moved up for RB Wright or Irving, maybe Baker, or especially Franklin if I could get that high up! Not too mention BTJ came within reach and I would've preferred him over Worthy, I guess. In a perfect world, maybe a small move up for WR Tahj Washington in the 7th too. Round 1, #22: WR Brian Thomas Jr (2024 3rd + 2025 3rd) Round 2, #63: OT Kingsley Suamataia Round 4, #119: RB Jaylin Wright (+2025 TEN 2025 3rd) Round 4, #131: TE Jared Wiley Round 5, #159: OL Hunter Nourzad Round 6, #211: CB Kamal Hadden Round 7, #240: WR Tahj Washington (+2025 Late RD Pick Swap) A+ In Veach We Trust! Go Chiefs!! 3-Peat!!! Last edited by Couch-Potato; 04-28-2024 at 09:23 PM.. |

I don’t think Buffalo is willing to trade out of 28 if Thomas is there.
I’m glad they took a DB in the 4th. Once they had two I just really wanted Wiley and whatever DB they liked best. |

Hindsight is 2020 but I'm always curious to hear what people think post draft. |

I don't know, honestly...
I loved every pick. Hicks was a super steal in round 4 in my opinion. Some, like Brugler, had him as a 2nd round pick and their top safety. He and Nubin were neck and neck for me. It would only be an "if Hicks wasn't there" situation, but I would have taken either Kris Abrams-Draine at CB or Ainias Smith at WR in that spot. Personally, I probably would have taken Cedric Johnson at ER over Kamal Hadden there and I would have absolutely drafted Blake Watson at RB over CJ Hanson. That said, I still really like Hadden and Hanson as prospects so I'm not complaining. |

I'm not smart enough to know the prospects like you all but the one point I'll make is that while the OP slate of players might be preferred for some, I'm a fan of the fact that we kept all of our ammo for next year. Looks like you gave up 3 of our picks in your alternative draft above. But as you said, Bart has earned that trust!

I feel like those first 5 picks are absolute nails and I like the last two enough to think they could end up being contributors in the future in some way. |

Big time copy out but I really cant argue with anything. Worthy wasn't my favorite but its an A fit on this team I think, I loved getting Kingsley where we did Wiley, Hicks and Norzad feel like A+ fits and picks for the range. I would have liked to get a RB with some upside but we did pretty good with UDFA's there. I wouldn't have minded taking another WR or RB at pick 7 but shit I can easily see a world where Hanson is a developing project similar to what wylie was for us or and allegretti back up. He has starting upside, imagine if we got our two starting guards for 26/27 in this draft where we did?

Other than a RB maybe in the 5th, I have zero complaints.

Would have wanted to add another WR but too lazy to go through each round and pick someone over who we got right now.

I feel the same as kccrow and Dunerdr, I'm struggling to even nitpick.
I didn't like Worthy as much as other options but I have zero doubt he will be well utilized, and I'm completely unconvinced the guys I did like more end up better players. I was lower on Wiley than others here but after a run on TEs it was the best option and absolutely needed to be done. So pretty happy with that. I wasn't expecting another safety but the Hicks value was too good to pass up and makes sense as an eventual Reid placement. I reckon in the 7th I'd have gone for a RB like Watson or Shirden. Or I might have got another WR like Rice...but I was never that high on him and there's only so many mouths to feed. I'd like them to see Moore as expendable and work to get him off the roster, but I can see why he's kept for another year. Maybe Hadden represents a bit of overkill but again I really like the value. I guess I'm higher on getting DT help for Jones than the Chiefs, but honestly Lovett might be enough to improve our run-stuffing. More pass-rush juice would be nice but it's hardly hurt us. Yeah, just a really good collection of picks meeting current and future needs. They won't all hit but I've no complaints. |

With respect to Sky Moore, his best chance at doing something worth rostering would be if we went back to a more RPO game. Without that he should be cut. |

I think Tahj Washington came after our pick and could absolutely be a better slot/returner than Moore. But as I say I can see why they're sticking with Moore.

All of the WR’s went in rd 2 through early 4. Only ones left for us were Cowing and Gould which make no sense considering we drafted Worthy already.
Wanted a RB but the value they got with their day 3 picks was so good. Hicks was Dane Brugler’s #1 rated safety so it’s hard to see any other position trumping that pick. |
