Agreed. It feels like an incoming trade up, and I hope it's for our future LT. I just hope they don't have to sacrifice the 2nd rounder to do it, because as you've pointed out, there will be quality to choose from at receiver.
An impact left tackle and a receiver, that's all I want from this draft. The rest is all fluff at this point (maybe a decent pass catching back, as well). |

That would be a killer draft, a solid LT prospect at 32 and a WR prospect that hopefully can contribute at that 4th option after Rice/Kelce/Brown. |

Agreed and that’s the way it should be with a LT in the 1st. I’m gonna laugh when we don’t take a WR until the 4th or 5th or maybe even double up late. I could see this being a fatty draft.

That extra 3rd gives us a lot of flexibility to target "our guy" in the late 1st - end of the 2nd, but hard to get a consensus on who that guy would be lol
If I had to choose one guy I think we'd take, it might be Burton. |

Burton would be in line potentially with the Peters and Tyreek pick - 1st round talent with a 10 cent brain. I think I would not hate the pick in the early third - but also, in this class, why bother? He may even go later than projected by that logic. Just stream of consciousness typing here.

I don't think that extra 3rd moves the dial much. I bet they don't move up.

Idk, I talked myself into liking the Skyy Moore pick. While I am not willing to completely write him off, I wonder if there isn't a lesson to be learned there about players without sufficient processing power to thoroughly learn and understand the offense; especially relative to defensive reads that Mahomes is making. I would want the Chiefs to deep dive Burton's football intelligence especially given the lack of wisdom he reportedly demonstrated on and off the field. I haven't watched much Burton though, tbh.
I do think there is a case to be made for going full ****ing bore on the offensive weapons in this class and worry about tackle next year - though I think an understanding of what next year's class looks like would really inform that decision. I am also reticent to invest significant resources in a slot-like guy, which this class has in abundance, simply because you have Rice already as a big slot and I felt like all his impact plays came from that role. The Chiefs have a really good opportunity here to grab a true X, a true Z, and I love how Johnny Wilson projects as a TE in the passing game. If you can hit on some of these weapons and lock up 4 years of control, I see a real path for cost effective continuation of the dynasty. |

After all that I realized I didn't answer your question -
I have a ton of digging to do as I have really only done one pass on each player and this is kind of how I would initially categorize them I guess? In no particular order: As you know, I really like AD Mitchell as a Z in the late first. Other Zs: Bryan Thomas, Jr. late first. Xavier Worthy I would get on board with for a move up in the second. Troy Franklin, maybe in the end of the second. (I need to dig more on him at some point. I did have a look at his schedule and I had concerns that he maybe hasn't had much in the way of NFL level of competition. Maybe crow can speak to that and inform us a little on that.) Devontez Walker - early third. Xs: Keon Coleman in the early second Xavier Legette in the second. Ja'lynn Polk in the third. Javon Baker in the third. Jaylen Coker in day 3, maybe not a true X until you see him against real competition, but a guy who I would say is my sleeper crush. Johnny Wilson in the late second, early third as a TE. Slot guys that will go too early for me - and there might be more: McConkey Pearsall Wilson Corley McMillan If you want to spend day 3 picks on a slot, I am fine with that: Ainias Smith Guys I just have a hard time seeing how they fit: Thrash Rice McCaffrey Rosemy-Jacksaint Vele Guys who I still need to watch if I ever really get motivated: Cornelius Johnson Isaiah Williams Jha'Quan Jackson Whittington Zakhari Franklin Bub Means Hayden Hatten |

![]() Is Veach going to take a risk on a receiver that dominated Conference USA after spending a 2nd on a guy that tore up the MAC, though? |

The more I read/watch on this WR draft class, the less I care who we get.. There are going to be players who are great assets to this offense available in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and maybe even the 4th this year.
