Potential 1st round Targets

[RunKC]

It feels like Veach is going to overcorrect and take a first rd WR the way things are going. Based on Veach’s history he likes to put a full on assault at positions of extreme need. He did it with OL, he did it with CB and he has done it with DL recently.

I can’t see him being fine with just Hollywood Brown in week 1 while Rice is out. I think he’s gonna go after his guy at WR after what happened last year.

Worthy, Franklin, or McConkey.

I think I'm at the point where the only WR I'd really love in the first is Brian Thomas Jr. The rest feel like 2nd rounders that we'd be taking a bit early, but in the end I wouldn't be bent out of shape about it bc if the Chiefs take a WR at #32 it'd because that's "our guy" and we didn't want to lose him the top of the 2nd. Seems so much more likely that we take a WR in the second to me. Maybe a trade up like in recent years, but there will also be great options at #64.

The 2nd is just so stacked with WR talent this year it's unreal!

I've been trying to study the teams and their needs and where they are picking. If Thomas falls past Pittsburgh and Philadelphia I think we could trade up with Tampa Bay and get him. Tampa has only 7 picks and their draft needs don't really match up well with what is available at their spot. With only 7 picks in the draft it seems more likely that they would trade down than trade up.

We’re probably not getting first round talent of any kind 32 so maybe just get your guy. But we’re probably not getting second round talent at 64 either. I think a trade up in the second is the move.

Polk in the first? Woooooof

[kccrow]

It maybe shouldn't be this way but I just don't think Polk is fast enough to get 1st round consideration.

ESPN's suggested trade for the Chiefs.

32. Kansas City Chiefs
Cardinals get: 1-32, 3-95
Chiefs get: 1-27, 6-186

If the Chiefs want to add a wide receiver in Round 1, they might want to get ahead of their arch-rivals from Buffalo, who pick at No. 28 and have a wide-open depth chart after trading Stefon Diggs and losing Gabe Davis in free agency. Moving up five spots would be in Kansas City GM Brett Veach's range, and while it would cost the Chiefs a third-round pick, beating the Bills to the punch for a wideout who separated from the pack on Kansas City's board would both help the Chiefs and potentially harm one of their biggest rivals.

The Cardinals, who have featured in many of this mock's trades, would then have pick Nos. 32, 35, 66, 71, 90, 95 and 104, plus whatever they end up doing with the No. 4 overall pick. It's not the sexiest way to turn around a roster, but every single analytics department in the league would be nodding and looking longingly at all the second- and third-round picks GM Monti Ossenfort has amassed.

^If it's for WR BTJ or an OT I'd be super happy with that deal!

Im almost like **** it, lets go get Odunze or Nabers...we would lose our first+ next year, but picking 32 hasnt yielded much lately

Disagree lol. We’re built to compete for the next 15 years but that takes discipline when it comes to asset allocation. It’s hard to argue that any wr is worth two ones. They’ve got a 50% success rate in round 1. Considering your only guaranteed 6 years with the 5year option then a franchise tag. I’d say the argument could be made for a left tackle because there’s far fewer top tier LTs

[Stryker]

If you want Brian Thomas Jr. you will have to move up to 16 trade w/ Seattle. Like KCCROW stated, you lose round 2 and give up round 3 Titans pick in 2025. Is it worth it? ONLY Veach knows.

Second option pick 32. Xavier Worthy, Troy Franklin or Ladd McConkey

I really do not know at this point what we should do. If I had to pick, I'd go with a 20 year old Xavier Worthy @ 32 and move forward. Just my .02

YOU tell ME:

Brian Thomas Jr.



Xavier Worthy




Ladd McConkley



Troy Franklin

[Tribal Warfare]

My hot take is the Chiefs will trade up for a LT If it's Olu Fashanu, Amarius Mims, or Jordan Morgan remains to be seen.

Brett Veach smiles when asked about the #Chiefs trading up to the top 15. He nudged that that type of big move would require Andy Reid and Clark Hunt being on board.
