3.0 leaves me wanting at wr and I’m a little u sure of Robinsons fit right now but I don’t hate it.

For WR would so much rather have Samuel at 4/45 than Brown at 4/70.

Think i prefer earlier versions Duncan. With this version we seem worse at CB, DT and I'm not sure we sufficiently improve at WR. I'm not a Samuel fan and Burton feels like a player we don't really need. If we have pick 19 I'm using it to get Thomas or Franklin and feeling a lot more confident about WR.
DT looks pretty strong in FA. I think there's a good chance if we let Jones walk we can rebuild a more rounded room without needing a DL R1 pick, that'd be my preference. Maybe I'm too locked in on a single approach, I dunno. |
Yeah, I’m not sure it’s my favorite, but I was purposely trying to take a different tack.
Re: the Sneed trade, it’s hard for me to see trading him for anything less than a first, plus. He isn’t Jalen Ramsey (insert snide Jamar Chase comment here), but he’s damn good. And crow, yeah, that trade is OFF but is what was offered me by the computer on NFL MDD. This one was about the exercise for me. And on Robinson, I think he’d primarily be an undertackle for KC. At 6-5/285 I don’t know that they would be asking him to put on 20+ to stick there. More like 10 to me. Schematically, Samuel is a good fit for the things they wanted to do with Toney. He’s fast, he breaks tackles, he’s a YAC threat, and he doesn’t drop the ball. That’s where I see it. |
I like those first 5 picks! I'm not familiar with the others.
Ultimately, I'd choose Sneed > Reid but I appreciate a good mock! I think Sneed's our #1 offseason target right now simply bc CJ's price. |

One thing that makes me more informed about the draft - and I think better able to be balanced when reacting to the things the Chiefs actually do - is trying to take different approaches and see how they work out. Roster building is intricate and fascinating. There are a lot of factors, so these "whole offseason" exercises are a lot of fun. I'll do a few more, I'm sure, as the draft approaches. Re: Burton, I think that's a player with a well-rounded skillset who can be a much better pro than college player. He doesn't drop the ball. He tracks deep balls well. He has good speed and solid size. He can run routes. He has been an inside and outisde receiver in college. It's not as sexy as Franklin or Brian Thomas (who I think is a one-trick pony right now, though he is very, very good at that one trick). |

You've got me thinking on Samuel, he might now be my WR FA preference. |

But this last attempt I decided to work some trade downs (I don't usually do that) and while I don't love the result, I didn't think it was awful either. Devontez Walker in the mid-2nd. Brandon Dorlus and Leonard Taylor to try to rebuild the interior with some youth (I'd really love that) with two picks in the 3rd. Kris Abrams-Draine in the late 3rd because I thought the value was too good to pass up and CB depth is always good. Cade Stover and Gabriel Murphy in the 4th; obviously I like Stover but I think Murphy is another interesting situational pass-rusher here, if maybe a little undersized for a full-time role. In the 4th, who cares? Cody Schrader in the 5th as well as James Williams - athletic cover safety out of Miami and Steele Chambers as a STs and backup Will out of Ohio State. Trey Knox as a practice squad and developmental flyer with my last pick in the 6th. There's not a knockout pick in that group, but I think that's going to be the nature of this draft. There's gonna be a lot of "damn, just missed our guy" I think. And we're going to be sitting there with a lot of similarly situated prospects with some frequency. |
My thing is, if you just keep stacking good football players, eventually some of them will develop into elite difference makers. It's just the nature of the thing.

Super intrigued by Robinson, but wondering why he wasn't identified during the year as a potential 1st rounder?

And we definitely need a 'back - a guy who performed like Schrader did and looked good in the Senior bowl is worth a 3rd day pick. I still think he should've gotten some Heisman consideration - he was truly incredible this year. KAD may have been a bit of a reach but I think that's really strong value there. He's a good player; was the equal of Rakestraw most of the year (better than him in the first half) and Ennis is being seen by some (not me) as a 1st rounder. |

My general assumption is Veach won't have a rookie or Morris at LT and there's noone in FA beyond D. Smith, so he's likely coming back if he doesn't ask for silly money. Morris remains a guy to develop. I think one way or another we'll be solid ar DT at least. If Jones goes there's no way we're not bringing in a decent vet imo, probably 2. Could be wrong but that's my guess. Then I'm also assuming some sort of weapons have been added. Dunno if that's WR, TE or RB, but I'm normally guessing one of these is less of a need. Makes it a lot easier to pick through things. I imagine everyone does a version of this I guess. |

so often, what pundits think is 'elite talent' turns out not to be, and guys that went later end up being the stars (like Rashee Rice). |
