Dickerson's injury history is a non-starter for me.
You guys know how I am about guys that can't play because they're hurt all the time. I'm just starting to get the sense that it's something the Chiefs might actually do. |

I will however say this, if we took him at 31 and he stays healthy, we got one hell of a player. |
I mean this guy is NASTY. He’s the kind of guy that changes the culture and attitude of the OL like Clark and Mathieu did defensively.

I look at Little as a Niang clone.
TONS of talent, absolutely COULD be the best OT in this class. But there was the injury, and then covid opt out, and there's just not much tape there. But they don't let dummies into Stanford, and he's got all the physical attributes. It might take a year, but I think his ceiling is very high, and his floor fairly high too. I doubt he'll go in round one. Maybe in two, but all the various draft engines are ranking him in the third. If that's where he goes, that would be a steal I think. IF we were able to drop out of #31 to 40-ish, nab an extra 3rd and pick him up we'd be in really good shape at OT moving forward. That's no small thing. *okay, so...in the same way that Niang LOOKS like Roaf, in the way he's built and the way he moves...Little looks like Bakhtiari to me. Not saying either reaches those status of players, just saying they look the part, move the same way, etc. I can see that projection. Which is, of course, wishful thinking. |

and of course, I get it, different level of competition. But the nasty streak is the same. All those injuries though. Man. |

But I could understand it. Picking #31 or #32 every year, you're going to have to get a little lucky; and maybe taking a chance on a player who drops not due to talent but something other than that is how you can stay on top. But man, so many injuries with that guy. I kind of feel similar about Jaelen Phillips. |

I really do understand the Dickerson love. He’s perfect save for the injury history. That’s a big blemish, though.
Personally, a the best situation IMO is a trade down scenario where they end up in position to secure Little and grab one of Humphrey or Meinerz. Pair that with a FA bandaid for LT and I think you’ve got the OL addressed and set up well for the future. They get an upgrade at C immediately and have a couple of different ways to attack both LT and RT if Fisher and Schwartz aren’t able to go or get reinjured. |
What do you guys think of Spence Brown out of Northern Iowa? Everything I have read and seen on him seem like a good fit here, and could be someone we could get in the 2nd for sure, and possibly the 3rd. Almost 6-9. 315, benches 500 lbs. Runs a sub 5 40. Seems like a guy that would fit our MO.
