It’s obviously unrealistic but I don’t see going that high for anything but a tackle.

No ****ing way is it worth giving up that much capital for a rookie WR.
If I'm giving all that up, I'd just offer it to Minnesota for Jefferson and pay the guy too. At least I know I'm getting a superstar. |

1.Jefferson not available 2. Jefferson would require a max contract. Move up for Nabers and we would have a #1 WR on a cost controlled contract for several years. That's valuable. |

There's also no guarantee Nabers is going to be great and certainly might not be worth the cost of acquisition in comparison to just getting someone like Franklin. It's just not a worthwhile investment in capital. WR is not a pillar position. I just can't support going balls-deep on it unless I know I'm getting a generational talent. QB, Pass Rusher, Left Tackle... That's about it for me. |

With Spags I don't think we need a franchise pass-rusher to remain near the top ten either if we kept Sneed/McDuffie. Left Tackle isn't as valuable to me in the current NFL because of the QB we have. Maybe if we had a statue pocket passer but Mahomes is a modern QB. So WR would be something I would want because the current Chiefs SB Championships all had a 1 or 2 HOF pass-catchers. Veach traded one and the other is almost aged out. So moving forward if Nabers projects as a elite #1 I go get him at 9. I don't do the move to top 5 as that is another level of expense and I would be out at a certain point. |

The reality is that Veach started with 2 HOF weapons already on the roster for Mahomes and he traded one away to build the defense and the other is almost aged out.
We need an elite weapon post Kelce. Why wait til he's done when an opportunity presents itself? That said, I doubt Nabers is around at 9 anyway. |

We have never won a SB without an elite weapon and our last one is almost gone. |

Whole thread's a bit pointless.
It's fun to think about how awesome it would be to have a top 10 pick. But you don't get given those unless you suck, that's kind of how the draft works. A move up to the top 10 is almost certainly bad business. What they would have to give up to get a top 10 pick would make it not worth it, even if that top 10 pick yields an elite player (which isn't guaranteed). The Chief's don't need to go all in one elite player to win. They haven't made a top 10 pick since Mahomes in 2017, and are 3 Superbowls deep while still having a good roster. It would be great if the Chiefs could get a #1 WR. But they can be an elite offense in 2024 without one, AND this draft has "#1 WR goes in the 2nd round" written all over it anyway. |

Agreed. If we look back at bad moments for Mahomes, it’s been games like the raiders game where he gets pressure and doesn’t feel comfortable. I remember conversations of people saying Mahomes was seeing ghosts. I think the opposite is true if we had a franchise LT. I think Mahomes could get even better. That’s really more important than a WR. I’d love for us to trade two 1sts and sneed for a LT that could protect Mahomes for the next decade.

John Alt the "Monumental Minnesotan" anchored Kansas City's offensive line for 13 seasons from his left tackle post. The stoic standard-bearer by which all future Kansas City left tackles will be judged. Played a prodigious part in the resurgence of the Chiefs franchise in the '90s.
Jim Tyrer (180) was the only offensive lineman in team history to play in more games than Alt (179). Started 149 of those games and owns a share of a franchise record by making 10 career playoff appearances, including the '93 AFC Championship Game. Earned back-to-back Pro Bowl trips following the '92 and '93 seasons. An All-Pro pick in '90-91. A prolific pass protector, also helped Kansas City perennially produce some of the best rushing numbers in the '90s. The Chiefs led the NFL in rushing for the first time in team history in '95 and produced five top 10 finishes during his tenure. Wore jersey number 76. He was drafted by the Chiefs in the first round of the 1984 NFL Draft with the 21st overall pick. Was the third offensive lineman selected overall. Born May 30, 1962 in Stuttgart, Germany.
