Chiefs have plenty of holes, need depth rather than one superstar, which is why trading Jones is a good idea. |

Trading Jones and our 1st round pick for a third WR? **** that.
Ruggs is good but that makes our team way worse. You’re trading Jones to get cost controlled guys at other positions that are needed. |

Trade Jones and #32 to Miami for #18, #39, #70, and #185. That's a value of 1077 net points for the Chiefs based on the Drafttek trade chart. Miami has 14 picks. I don't see them being able to assimilate that many picks into their 2020 roster. This trade gets them a top DL in his prime to pair with last years first round pick, DL Christian Wilkins, and still have 3 first rounders and 8 other picks. The Chiefs get much needed draft capital and cap space.

Exactly. The #1 thing the Chiefs need are picks. We have to keep the roster primed with young, affordable players on rookie deals to balance off our big contract players.

You'd feel REALLY good about having a shot at Yetur Gross-Matos at either of those picks and might even move high enough to nab CJ Henderson or Kristian Fulton. And you add a BUNCH of picks you can use for depth (extra second and extra third would be HUGE). |

This isn’t just a speed guy, he had one of the lowest drop rates in the country. I understand not wanting to draft a WR high but overall he brings up the teams ceiling higher than anyone else due to their being another player that absolutely requires deep safety help, especially with Pat throwing the ball. With Reek also out there, you essentially put the defense in a spot to dedicate 4 defenders to contain the last level against two deep threats and allows Kelce/RBs to eat in the shallow/intermediate levels with Hardman essentially being a chess piece throughout the offense. Just don’t see a late first CB or LB making that type of difference personally. I understand wanting to trade down for more assets but at the end of the day, Veach can find the roster fillers and I think it’s best to go for the blue-chip game changers in the 1st round. |

You're basically building the 2018 Chiefs there by neglecting the defense and hoping you can win shootouts, rather than trying to keep the 2019 improved defense Chiefs that won the whole damn thing. Hardman and Watkins were already genuine deep threats to go along with Tyreek this last year, I don't think having a slightly faster guy instead of Watkins improves the team as much as you think. Plus if Mahomes doesn't get time in the pocket, then it doesn't matter how many deep threats you have. And if you give Andy and Patrick time in the pocket, they don't need to have the fastest players in the NFL to beat you. Plus, there isn't as much financial flexibility as you think if you do this. You cut Sammy and trade Jones and now you start with about $27m to work with, but you need a pass rushing DT, two free agent corners, improvements at linebacker, and to improve the Oline, with probably no help from the draft because you took a 3rd target for the offense, and with a Mahomes extension possibly bumping his cap hit this year. |
