Call Your Shot: Who's the Chiefs first pick?

[staylor26]

Rule: You can change your answer up until next Thursday!

This might be the toughest year yet for this. I can see so many different possibilities, especially considering that I think there's a solid chance the Chiefs trade up.

Edit: It's draft day and I'm changing my pick!

Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

There's way too much smoke about the Chiefs trading up and/or them targeting a LT. I'm going with a guy that I think could make it into our range, who also has the kind of upside that would have Veach itching to make a move to go get him.

Best tackle class in years. This says it all

To summarize my last 5 phone calls- everyone is moving up for an OT.

Problem is, that bone could be picked pretty clean by the time you get to us.

Some heavy smoke in this draft rumor. Is OT Kingsley Samitai(whatever) Veach's guy? I'd be surprised if Veach tipped his hand this heavy but that's what makes it the draft.

But I'd be fine with any LT. This talk of giving away the future to move up for a receiver is crazy to me. The hit/miss variance is just too high. Get the surest thing in the first and continue to take second round swings at WR.

Actually if you do the variance between like 27-37 WR's hit at a better rate than OT's do.

I'd be good with Guyton, Amegadjie, Suamataia or Paul at #32 alternatively

I'm calling my shot that Chiefs will try to trade up, not be able to pull it off, and take Kingsley at 32.

Second round WR again.

[MahomesMagic]

If you look at who they visited with I don't see 1st round WR's.


Probably OL.

It's looking more and more like the draft is going to start like this:

1. Caleb
2. Daniels
3. Maye
4. MHJ

And then the draft really starts at 5 with the Chargers. Sounds like they are leaning OT (fingers crossed).

It’s going to nuts starting at 5

Said this on @PatMcAfeeShow and I’ll say it again bc doing a “final” Mock Draft becomes difficult.

I’m thinking there could be 10 trades or more in tomorrow’s first round.

Maybe not at the top, but once we get to that 5-6-7-8-9-10 range, it sounds like things could get wild.

No doubt Donovan Smith was a bandaid last year and it appears his body has hit that point where he can't stay healthy. If the tackle class is as good as what they're saying then the time is now. I'm good with it.

Great drama TV we've got coming tomorrow

I gotta go get some pops to consume as the chaos ensues

[RunKC]

Someone start the draft thread. It’s time. We need to talk draft rumors!

Everyone is tying themselves into knots in an attempt to dethrone the Chiefs, and it's still not going to happen.

I'd prefer not to just reach on someone just because.

Once you get past the top couple of guys you aren't guaranteed anything.
