Call Your Shot: Who's the Chiefs first pick?
Rule: You can change your answer up until next Thursday!
This might be the toughest year yet for this. I can see so many different possibilities, especially considering that I think there's a solid chance the Chiefs trade up. Edit: It's draft day and I'm changing my pick! Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia There's way too much smoke about the Chiefs trading up and/or them targeting a LT. I'm going with a guy that I think could make it into our range, who also has the kind of upside that would have Veach itching to make a move to go get him. |
Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
|
I think we’re making a splash and moving up.
Brian Thomas Jr. |
Trade back and pick the next Sky Moore from jack shit university.

Brock Bowers.
Aspirational prediction. |
WR Xavier Legette

This is my bet as well. |
Trade back
|
A trade up to 19 with he Rams for Mims. Then Pearsall or Roman wilson to follow it up.
|
I think we trade up for a LT, Guyton or Mims.

Veach got all my texts...
WR Brian Thomas Jr., LSU |
One thing I’m confident about is Veach wanting to trade up. He’s done it almost every year he’s been here. All these guys were trade ups: Breeland Speaks, Mecole Hardman, Nick Bolton, Trent McDuffie, Rashee Rice. He’s traded up in the 1st or 2nd rd all but 2020.
6 straight picks from 22-27 are all NFC teams and I think that’s the sweet spot. BTJ will be gone so I have to think it’s for a tackle |
Fun/free mock draft simulator if you guys are big nerds about the draft like I am:

The Chiefs should actually be awarded the first overall pick imho
|
Veach will try to move up, the cost to get to 16 will be too steep, the teams from about 17-20 won't deal with KC and by 22 and beyond the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
So the Chiefs stay put at 32 and take Jordan Morgan, OT - Arizona. |
I feel like there’s no need to trade up. We’re not desperate and we’re not a player or two away from the Super Bowl.
If anything we trade back to acquire more picks. |
I think we stay put and draft Legette as an MVS replacement. If Veach thinks he can get his guy in early-mid 2nd round we'll trade down.
|
Brian Thomas Jr.
|
I think we'll trade up for Mims.
|
If it's a trade up it'll either be Olu Fashanu or Mims
If they stay at #32, it'll either be Mitchell or McConkey |

Yeah Brian Thomas Jr is gonna go in the teens and I don’t think we’ll be able to pull off a trade that high.
I’m thinking a trade up for Tyler Guyton who is the ideal LT type and most scouts think he’ll have no problem playing LT. |

I'm thinking the Chiefs will trade up, but not in the first round. There will probably be several decent WR still available at #32. We'll then trade up in the second round. Maybe with Arizona at #35. The Cardinals have pick #4 and pick #27 so we'll give them a 2025 pick as part of the compensation since they'll have already picked their biggest needs and with 11 overall picks will be willing to move a pick or two to next year's draft.

We have two really glaring holes... sure we need to always address depth but we don't need to fix it all right now. We're talking about going for a f'n 3-peat. If it costs me a 2nd and future 3rd to go up and get A guy, I'm going for it. I was looking specifically at this list of players yesterday and thought to myself, no matter what we do in terms of going for broke for a guy, there's still options out there elsewhere to backfill with: RB Boston Scott RB Matt Breida WR Tyler Boyd WR Mecole Hardman WR Odell Beckham Jr OT Donovan Smith OT Mekhi Becton OT/G Andrus Peat CB Adoree Jackson CB Akhello Witherspoon Move up for Fautanu or Thomas and worry about the rest as it comes. That's my 2 cents. |

Furthermore, the Chiefs do stay at #32 and select a WR, IMO they'll definitely trade up for a potential LT Patrick Paul or Kingsley Suamataia |
Mr. Brian Thomas Jr
|
I think we will get a OT, our top need either at 16 with a trade up or at 32 standing foot. Looking at it in more detail:
Trade up to 16 ideally for Bowers or if he’s gone for one of the five top tackles, if available [Alt, the 3 Fs, Latham]. If we can’t trade up for that value stick at 32 and pick the best remaining top tackle or WR if somebody really good falls that far. We don’t need to reach for a WR. With brown, whatever we get from rice and hopefully signing Renfrew, we will have so much better a WR room than last year. |

1st pick: Guyton or Suamataia
trade up in the 2nd for Leggette |
I really think the Bills are going to have PTSD about us trading in front of them. That's going to cause them to overpay to trade up for a guy like BTJ.
|
Keon Coleman, WR
|
If he's still there, trade up with the Cardinals @27 in front of the Dildos, and pick Brian Thomas jr. but I doubt he's still there. Otherwise, take whoever OT is left at 32, and then trade up in the 2nd for our rookie WR. Rice probably won't be here when we need him to start the season, but who knows? Roger Goodell, that's who.

WR Brian Thomas Jr
|
Trade up - OT Amarius Mims
Stay put - WR Xavier Leggette Trade down - F**k that |

Troy Franklin. In some ways I don't see him as an obvious pick, or Chiefs WR. My total guess is they look to move up for a LT and have no trade partners, consider going up for someone like Brian Thomas Jr and, again, get rebuffed. What they're then left with is a load of RTs with potential but too many questions for their liking, and 2-3 WRs they like. They've met Franklin I believe and I could see them liking his versatility as a guy who has the required athleticism, good route running but also can beat man and zone in a way the other options can't.
...almost certainly they'll now go for a CB. |
Xavier Worthy

Quote:
I'd be surprised if he went before 50 (and absolutely shocked if the Chiefs took him at 32). |
I think 80% want a WR, 10% want a LT and 10% a TE for replacing Kelce.
I think we cover off all 3 in the draft. I know every "expert" here says I am ass for wanting to trade up for a great WR but if somehow a Rome Odzune dropped to like 15, I would want to try and get someone like him. Highly unlikely but one can dream. |
Quote:

Also, Rashee Rice **** things up for us short term and makes us slighly more needy than we had to be.
|
Im a Legette homer, he was my initial draft crush not counting the Big 4.
But damn, with that said, i think he's a mid 2nd to mid 3rd round kinda guy. Not sure where all this 1st round talk is coming from. I mean if the Chiefs take him then i'll readily admit i was wrong but i really dont expect him to go in the 1st. I dont even expect him to go high in the 2nd. |
In other draft related news, sounds like Jayden Daniels is trying to work his way down the board. Agent is tweeting out quite a bit about how they're not happy with how the Commanders handled their visit.
Buzz is he really wants LV to be with Antonio Pierce. |
Quote:
I don't think we can get up to Fashanu (know we can't get up to Alt). And like you, I don't think we can get up to the Big 3 at WR. Thomas is the clear WR4, IMO. And I think Fuatanu is probably LT3 in this draft (there's too much projection required in Latham and probably Fuaga as well, IMO). And I still think either of them would have to make it past Jacksonville and Cincy to the Rams spot where they may be interested in collecting more capital since they haven't had a 1st rounder in awhile. That'll cost you this year's 3rd and next year's 2nd, IMO. You might get something like 155 back in the deal, but the meat of the deal will be 32, 95 and the 2025 2nd rounder to get up there. And that presumes either of those guys get that far. You have maybe a 30% chance of one of them getting that far, IMO. And ultimately that's why I just don't see a trade up as being very likely. |
Quote:
I'll presume THEY are. Legette doesn't look like a 1st rounder to me. |

The 2nd rd for this draft will look a lot like the 2019 2nd rd draft for WR IMO. At least least 7 taken but there will be talent for us at the end of rd 2 or small trade up.
DK Metcalf, Diontae Johnson and Terry McLaurin were all taken after us. Think that same talent will be there this year. Just need to pick the right one |

Plenty of talk for BV moving up, but prob not enough draft capital...if he trades up, itwill only be a few spots for Guyton. More likely they trade down and get 2 picks in the sweet spot...
1) Suamataia 2) Legette Stay put? McConkey |
Quote:
I don’t see the need to trade up far if we do |
I just don't think any team in the NFL is gonna trade with the Chiefs right now. They probably all got together and were like...DON'T TRADE WITH THE ****ING CHIEFS...I'll be amazed if we do that.
