As an offensive line homer, I always pound the table for some Hawkeye linemen, but Linderbaum is exactly what we need. He's new to the position, but dominating. He's a wrestler, and exactly the type of center we need. I do think he's going to rise up the draft boards, I doubt you get him late in the 3rd. Alaric Jackson would be a good pick too, especially at that spot. I he's probably available in the 4th or 5th rounds. The only thing I don't like about him is that he's really cut weight by adapting to a vegan life style. Not sure how that really works with the position he plays. I mean you got to ear a lot of beans and peanuts to get the protein one needs to retain a 300+ body. |

I'd rather have Phillips at DE if he were available.

Ojulari is a great pass rusher. He just has a lot of natural ability. If he makes it to 32, that would be a really high-value selection. I agree that he could split some time with Danna. If he's playing RE, I think he holds up fine in this scheme, especially if he is getting swapped on run downs.
I really like the mock overall. I don't know much about Chazz Surratt, but if staylor and crow sign off on him, it's good enough for me. I think that may be the spot KC has to pop for an IOL (Josh Myers? Linderbaum if his stock rises). |

My thinking is you use Danna on early downs and Ojulari comes in opposite of Clark on obvious passing downs in year 1. Then in year 2 you have some flexibility should you cut Clark. By then, Danna might be ready to take that LDE spot full time and and Ojulari would be your RDE. |

He's a stud. I'm hopefull it stays low and he's there at 32. He'd be my early pick but I admittedly haven't paid any attention to college football this year.

I like the kid and wouldn't be opposed to the pick but I think the 1st could be a lofty projection based on one year of production unless there's a run on edge players earlier than expected. |

this is going to be the weirdest draft ever.
Teams with solid scouting situations and front offices are going to clean up over teams in disarray. There will be a lot of kids that are all over the place in prospect rankings. More busts than ever, and more kids that are picked low or UDFA's that turn out to be stars. I feel good knowing Veach and company know exactly what they're looking for. |

By the way, I love Jones too, and he’s one of those edge rushers that I’m look at in the 1st. I think there are 4 edge rushers I could see being the pick in the 1st: Ojulari Jones Phillips Oweh It’s still early though, so no telling how that sorts out for me come draft day. I just know I’d be happy with any of them. Last edited by staylor26; 12-24-2020 at 01:34 PM.. |

I like it. I think it would address many of KC's needs.
I've seen DE Jaelan Phillips, Miami, in mock drafts going as high as 9 and most have him going before the Chiefs probable draft pick, but the other 3 DE/OLB that you mention, seem like a good possibility. I like LB Chazz Surratt a lot. It will be interesting on his actual size. He is listed at 225 to 230, but it is possible he actually played closer to 220. |

What do you think of Rashawn Slater from Northwestern? Arrowhead Addict put out a mock draft where we trade out of the 1st and take him at 38. They then double down and take Alex Leatherwood at 53. I think that going T with our first 2 picks would be a mistake. But I wouldn't be opposed to using 1 of those picks

Pass rusher is very important. I don’t know much about them, but I do know that the Chiefs better not pass up on that Penn State TE if he’s there.
Kelce is the 2nd most important player on this team and he’s not getting any younger. A TE is vital to our offense, so why not have 2 studs for 5 years cheap and prepare for life after Kelce? Makes too much sense. Plus that Kelce scare today really opened my eyes to how ****ed the offense would be without any TE worth a shit |

Freiermuth would be an acceptable use of that end of 1st pick IF there is not a WR or DE they like more and if they’re planning to run more 12 personnel. |
