Williams would be a top-15 pick if it weren't for the off-the-field issues in 2020 where he was charged with felony sexual battery (charges dropped 2 months later). How teams decide they feel about that situation will dictate his grade. He's 6'4" 265 and runs a 4.45 forty and just dropped 12.5 sacks in the SEC. Given he seems to have made some significant changes (I can only read and interpret), I'd fully take that chance at the end of round 1. That said, if the team feels he'll be there at the end of 2 or the end of 3 or wherever that might be, I think you take the kid in the spot.

We'll have to see where things shake out and who declares this year.

Obviously, you have Hutchinson, Ojabo, Karlaftis, and Thibodeaux rated as round 1 guys and I've seen Ebiketie, Johnson, and Thomas in that discussion. I'd say most of the rest of those guys are 2nd or 3rd rounders (smaller school guys like Fayad, Patchan, etc). So, really, the position looks really deep and you're not necessarily pegged to taking edge in 1.

Yeah not necessarily I agree; but I haven't had much luck if I wait until #63.

Of course, who knows how it will all shake out in reality. Just mock machining it I don't like my options by #63 for any sort of real impact at edge.

Give me Jermaine Johnson or George Pickens at pick 32 :)

I'm good with those top three picks.

I liked this one quite a bit.

KC
29.
Jermaine Johnson
EDGE Florida State-explosive edge rusher.
KC

61.
Romeo Doubs
WR Nevada-good size, speed, and athleticism. Potential #1 WR.

KC
93.
Jerome Ford
RB Cincinnati-a faster Kareem Hunt.

KC
131.
Yusuf Corker
S Kentucky-a taller Honey Badger clone at 6'. Super versatile safety.

KC
230.
Bubba Bolden
S Miami-Fl-6'3", 204 superior athletic talent. Goodbye Sorensen!

KC
249.

Allie Green IV
CB Missouri- 6'3" corner, aggressive, physical player. Your next outside corner prospect.

That draft makes us bigger, faster, and more versatile athletically on defense and adds two explosive playmakers on offense.

Tried moving around on Pro Football Network

Sent 29, 61, and a 2023 2nd to NE for 23, 87, and a 2023 3rd to select DE David Ojabo, Michigan. I tried to get to 21 but the Eagles wouldn't take it.
I traded down twice in the 3rd, sending 87 and a 2023 5th to CIN for 90 and 127, then sending 90 and 249 to TEN for 95 and a 2023 5th, so I really gave up 87 and 249 for 95 and 127.
I wasn't happy not addressing a couple positions and made another move, sending a 2023 4th and 230 to CHI for 147 and 188.

I ended up with:

23. David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan
93. Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame
95. Verone McKinley, FS, Oregon
127. Tyler Goodson, RB, Iowa
131. Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State
147. Charleston Rambo, WR, Miami
188. Max Mitchell, OT, LA-Lafayette

Interesting trade that I executed gives me food for thought...

1-29, 2-61, and 2023 1st to PIT for 1-17, 3-81, and 2023 3rd to draft WR Chris Olave (Jameson Williams went ahead of him at 13 as the 1st WR off the board4).

Would any offensive player make you jimp?

I don’t think there’s an offensive player that would. If it weren’t such a deep defensive end draft, I’d say the right DE could make me jump.

MAYBE Jameson Williams. Maybe. His slight frame and lack of proven success vs press gives me concern.

As it is, there is likely to be a lot of talent available to the Chiefs at #32 in regards to DE.

Updated the OP with my new mock.

I end up with two DEs, at least one of which should be able to play heavy snap counts Year 1, and who give me youth and productivity at low cost (hopefully) moving forwards. Love that. Really love that.

I add a larger playmaker at WR, who is versatile and can make RAC plays happen. I like it. Still would need a vet in FA to feel good about WR entering 2023.

I get a starter-caliber LB, and a really promising development swing tackle. Very happy with those.

Not happy with the DB additions. Though I like both guys I land and would cream my pants at adding Bolden in the 7th, I would like to add a S I'm more comfortable sliding into a key role. Guess I'd be trying to make a FA addition to replace Mathieu (or retaining him) in this scenario.

I really like the Hendershot... shot. The Chiefs have extra 7ths and those are perfect fits to throw at someone like him. Talented, with questions. Very little risk (and likely a pick that is roster fodder, anyway).

So I somehow ended up with 10 draft picks after a trade down (not sure what PFF is doing with the Chiefs in the late rounds; I just kept having to make picks - maybe comp stuff?)

And this draft just ended up weird as hell but I like it anyway. I went full Veach and targeted one area and went HAM.

Myjai Sanders -- Edge, Cin
Bernhard Raimann -- T, Central Michigan
Travon Walker -- Edge, Georgia
Brenton Cox Jr. -- Edge, Florida
Romeo Doubs -- WR, Nevada
Percy Butler, S -- Lousiana
Mike Rose, LB -- Iowa State
Josh Whyle, TE -- Cincinatti
Ainias Smith, WR -- Texas A&M
Amari Gainer, LB -- FSU

Just a batty draft, really. But PFF loved it, my lowest grade on any pick was an A- and I got an A total.

So we both discovery Doubs simultaneously, eh? Well that's crazy.

He's been in my heads since crow first talked about him early last year. There's a highlight thread of him in here somewhere.

Jameson Williams now, if he drops to our (hopefully) 32 spot? We could let him sit and gain a great prospect for 2023 or maybe late 22.....

(Or our 2nd rounder, not sure if he goes that far as he was projected top 20 before this)

I’m interested in Williams and/or Metchie shares. Especially since I expect them to sign a free agent WR who can handle #2 duties.
