If we're talking about draft capital equivalent to trading up to 11, that's the more apt comparison, I think.

For one of those guys to be there at 11, you'd need the following to happen in the top 10:

1) 4 QBs are drafted (Patriots take a QB, Giants get desperate and draft McCarthy)
2) 3 Ts go in the top 10
3) 3 of the premium receiving targets go in the top 10
If a corner or pass rusher slips into the top 10, you can subtract one of those positions.

I don't think either Odunze or Bowers is a "safe" enough prospect to make that deal happen. In that scenario, I guess I'd prefer the Jefferson trade price. Though, honestly, I'd prefer neither of these scenarios.

Again. It's not just about making KC as good as possible for 2024. It's about making it as good as possible while also mitigating risk that you short-circuit the team's contender status.

When Travis Kelce retires or slows down enough that he no longer commands #1 target attention, that MIGHT break things up.

If the Chiefs take a HUGE swing that sacrifices draft capital NOW and it fails, it will DEFINITELY break things up 2-3 years down the road. And potentially as soon as 2025 if that huge swing involves giving Jefferson a market-setting payday.

Your post screams going all out to get Mike Evans signed even if its a slight overpay.

This move would get a true #1 for Pat that costs no draft picks and takes almost all the risk out of upgrading the WR position.

Mike Evans on a 2 or 3 year deal is a great strategy IMO

The smart thing, is just to do what they've done, keep drafting.

Sign a FA if you want but it would be more Mooney or Hollywood, not Evans.

Has he followed the Chiefs on Instagram yet?

I think it's all much ado about nothing. It makes no sense. The ONLY reason to do this for Minnesota is that they want Caleb Williams or something like that.

Yep. And either would be a nice #2 WR to pair with Rice and Kelce.

I’d do it. As has been stated elsewhere there are going to be holes whether he’s signed or not. And for me, he is a better player than Tyreek.

We'll draft a better WR than these guys.

I mean, if that was the trade compensation required, I'd do it in a heartbeat and laugh all the way to the next two Lombardis.

No way the Vikings would accept that, though.

We're not getting Jefferson. I understand not paying Evans all the money, but we've gotta do something. I don't know if counting on the draft is wise. Think back 2 months ago guys. Before Rice really emerged and before MVS remembered how to catch. Our WR group was horrible. We need to add a solid #2 if not a #1 in free agency or via trade

MVS has negative trade value because his contract is terrible.

Fine they can have Skyy Moore instead. Still 2 years of cost control!

He's a great blocker.

:hmmm:

I agree. He is simply too expensive. I mean if you are going to go that route might as well have just resigned Tyreek then you don't have to trade picks.

Better off to continue to develop Rice, sign a mid tier WR, and use the draft.

I would do that without a second thought.
