Give me your ideal first 3 rounds
 

1. Adonai Mitchell - it's him or Worthy, but after signing Brown and cutting MVS, more size and a true X would be ideal.

2. Kiran Amegadjie - perfect guy to draft after signing a stop gap like Donovan Smith. This would probably allow Morris to be your replacement for Smith or Thuney.

3. Renardo Green - this feels like a sweet spot to draft Sneed's replacement. Green is underrated and would be a steal here.

1. Xavier Worthy
2. Patrick Paul
3. Cam Hart

I am assuming Donovan Smith gets re-signed. I'm also assuming Rashee Rice is getting suspended.

My ideal is probably trading 2025 draft picks to move up aggressively and get my namds on Brian Thomas Jr. If I have to stay put, my choice would probably be Ladd McConkey, as I just don't think Xavier Worthy will last to 32.

My second round pick is probably an interior lineman that will allow the Chiefs to effortlessly move on from Smith/Humphrey. That's probably Jackson Powers-Johnson.

In the 3rd round, I'd love to see a home run hitter at either WR or RB. Isaac Guerendo or Tez Walker.

Just trade our first and second day next year to acquire Arizona's second day this year. Seems worth.

If they want a tackle in the draft:

1. Tyler Guyton
2. Roman Wilson
3. Isaac Guerendo

If they decide they don’t want a tackle and re-sign Donovan Smith:

1. Xavier Worthy
2. Brandon Dorlus
3. Isaac Guerendo

I’d cum everywhere

1.Adonai Mitchell, WR

2.Kiran Amegadjie, Tackle

3. T’Vondre Sweat, DT

This is identical to mine after looking at what seems plausible. My only possible deviation would be that I wouldn't hate Franklin at 32

This please! :thumb:

1. Troy Fautanu
2. Xavier Legette
3. Maason Smith

1. Xavier Worthy WR

2. Blake Fisher OT

3. Mason Smith DT

Or

1. Kingsley Suamatia OT

2. Tez Walker WR

3. Jaylen Wright RB

If we hit that for our first two, IDGAF what 3 is honestly. But i'd say probably Johnathan Brooks/ J'tavion sanders would be my ideal 3rd round follow up. Idk that either make it all the way to our pick at 95 though.

I'll also note I've been using the PFN simulator because PFF is blocked on my work computer. So these may not be wholly realistic just what ive been seeing.

Nabers
Joe Alt
Dallas Turner

Bold but I'm sold.

1. WR Brian Thomas Jr
2. WR Worthy, Franklin, or Legette (Trade up!)
3. RB Wright, Benson, or Lloyd

SPEED!!!

MAKE IT HAPPEN BURT!

1) Jordan Morgan
2) 'Tez Walker
3) Jaylen Wright

OT, WR, RB - ****ing load up. Defense is back largely intact, let's put this offense back on tilt.

Time to go all in and fix the LT issue.

1. Alt
2. Legette
3. Mason Smith

Curious why you like Dorlus in the 2nd?

If you want Dorlus, you will need to move up in the second - at least according to Daniel Jeremiah.

I understand DE is a premium but we've invested heavily and have more pressing needs, especially looking at Direckshuns 2025 focused thread.

He’s the most Spags esque DL available in rd 2 to me. However with Danna back I think DL isn’t going to be a priority until day 3 unless a DT like Michael Hall Jr is there at 64 and is just too good of a value to pass on

I had a couple of mocks that fell like this for me. I would be super excited for this to fall our way.

1) Amarius Mims (won't be there unless we trade up)
2) Ladd McConkey (won't be there unless we trade up)
3) Jaylen Wright

I'm significantly torn... which is why I haven't answered yet... and this usually is a basis for my "what I want" mock so... ugh.

Alright... here's my answer...

1-16 WR Brian Thomas, Jr. - LSU - 6'3" 209
Trade: 1-32, 2-64, 2025 3rd f/TEN for 1-16
3-95 TE Jared Wiley - TCU - 6'6" 249
4-133 OT/G Delmar Glaze - Maryland - 6'4" 315

Giving you my first 3 picks since I'm trading away the 2nd rounder.

Going against all I believe in to get Pat a "hyper-elite" weapon.

I am crushed by the buy-in to the BTJ hype, tbh. He might be "hyper-elite" someday.

IF:
He learns to run more than three routes
He learns to use his size effectively.
He cuts his drops in half.

That's a lot of big ifs for a trade-up deep into the first round. I would take him at 32. I might even move to 27 for him. But I have a hard time giving up that much capital for someone who requires so many ifs - particularly given the Chiefs problems developing WRs and my complete lack of faith in their WR coach.

Yeah - there's just no way in the world I'm moving up to 16 for Brian Thomas. None.

Like you, I might take him at 32, but I'm not giving up a 2nd and then some to get up to 16 and grab him.

Gotta say it's probably not the route I'd go either crow. BTJ at that cost doesn't seem worth it to me. I mean I could see it being worth it but like Nightfyre I've got too many questions at this point. Definitely a bold move!

I'll offer an alternative BTJ trade for consideration:

#32 + #94 + 2025 3rd = #21 from MIA

Also spending #171 to move up in the 4th.

1. WR Brian Thomas Jr
2. RB Jonathan Brooks
3. {Traded}
4. DT T'Vondre Sweat

2 toys for Pat and 1 massive dbl team eater for Chris.

Hyper-Elite!

I just can’t see going up for a WR in this draft. For a LT, yes, sure.

Just too much depth.

Might take him at 32 lol?

If he somehow, some way fell to 32 that pick should be in to the commish in 1.3 seconds…IDGAF who’s on the board.

You guys are welcome to your opinions, I have mine. Mine is that there is a significant drop-off between Thomas and the next tier of WRs. My take is that when his routes match the rest, he's going to be special. He isn't going to be there in the late 20s or 32 so we shouldn't talk stupid shit.

My second take is that there is no way in hell a competent LT is there. I have 3 in this draft: Alt, Fautanu, and Fashanu. I don't see any making it past 14. Just calling a spade a spade there. A lot of chances I'd take at RT though. Again, everyone can have their opinions on it. If I'm stuck at 32, I might take a chance on Morgan or Suamataia and hope like hell one could make it at LT, but I have major doubts on both fronts.

I love BTjr and think he’ll be the best WR to come from this class when it’s all said and done so I’m all for moving up for him….

{shrug}

He's my WR4 in this draft but I'm really not that gung-ho about a first round WR.

It was more a statement as to how I'm not married to the position than the player. And as Crow noted - he ain't gonna be there at 32.

"I'm not sold on a WR in the first round" is a HELL of a lot less out there of a take than "Brian Thomas Jr. is going to be better than Harrison, Nabers and Odunze..."

Just sayin'...

Agreed.

Mine, based on us standing pat at our picks...

1) Tyler Guyton, OT - Oklahoma
- I really, REALLY want to take one of Mitchell, Franklin, or McConkey here. But, I also really understand the demand to protect the franchise at all costs, as well. Give me a potential future LT here.

2) Devontez Walker, WR - North Carolina
- Tez seems somewhat of a Rice clone physically, but his vertical game would be perfect lined up across from Rice and his ability to work the middle of the field.

3) Trey Benson, RB - Florida State
- I could go any number of directions here, but loading up on offense is the way to go this season. Benson could be a redundant pick with the rugby kid here to allegedly return kicks and MEH returning, but Benson does have a good combo of size, power and speed. I wouldn't be against a tight end with this pick, even if I'm good with Kelce, Gray, and Irv Smith as our group.

Not liking ignoring WR again but I love Benson. And Pacheco backup is a sneaky bigger need than most want to acknowledge.

Drafting a WR in the 2nd for the second year in a row is "ignoring WR again"?

I'm not going to go back and forth with you in this thread, but this is exactly why people are so over your shit.

I was thinking of doing a mock yesterday and I had Guyton and Walker in mind 1/2. Both really high ceilings guys.

Walker’s drops scare me though

Like I said, if one of those three is sitting there at our pick, it's going to be really hard to pass them up. It becomes a matter of if they think Guyton has more value at his position than one of those three, obviously.

I feel like with Hollywood signed that receiver may not be the call in the 1st. Tackle and receiver will be our first two picks, maybe not in that order, but I feel confident thinking that way.

I like that a lot and would be considering/interesting in moving up in round 4 to grab Jermaine Burton at WR, too.

I know he's kind of a shithead, but the talent and profile would fit so well.

It depends what your goal is.

If you just want to check a box and say you took a WR, even after 10 other teams took one then sure, the position was addressed.

Of course you are upset because you get very emotional and have a hard time arguing your views with fact and logic.

I love Leggett, 220 pounds of beast

This would be BEST case from our draft position.

KCCROW if you move up to 16, my GOD then you have to weigh the choice between Brian Thomas Jr. or JC Latham or Troy Fautanu. IF those are your options at that 16 pick, who do you take? That would be some very serious options!

Round 1

Xavier Worthy
Ladd McConkey
Troy Franklin


Round 2

Kingsley Suamataia
Kiran Amegadjie
Patrick Paul
Ricky Pearsall

Round 3

Jaylen Wright
Xavier Legette
DJ James

Of course, we do not know how this will fall or what Veach is thinking so anything can happen. Moving up to #16 is a lot to think about but, Vech does what Veach does best - DRAFT like a BOSS! :thumb: Coming sooner than later CHIEFS fans :thumb:

We have no LT right now. Until that changes it has to be the first option at 32 unless something crazy lucky falls our way. The only times Pat can’t be Pat is when both tackles sucked.

BTJ is the perfect combination of size and speed to satisfy every Chief's fans WR wishes. Why settle for Coleman (size) or Worthy (speed) when you can have both! I'm kind of surprised he's not considered the target yet by Chiefs kingdom. We have extra picks to spend, a history of moving up to target our guys, he's the closest thing to a true #1 and projected to be within reach. Today our WR core feels a bit empty, add BTJ tomorrow and we're complete: BTJ's our elite size/speed #1, Brown's our other elite speed deep threat #2, Rice is our tough over the middle YAC #3, Toney's our lighting strike gadget + KR/PR'er, Watson adds another deep threat and Moore had a nice route in the SB that one time. That squad's ready for a 3-peat!

Just my .02c.

With my personal opinion on Fautanu, Jeremiah having him as his 11th overall prospect, Brugler having him as his 9th overall prospect, and Zeurlein having him as his 16th overall prospect, I see absolutely no way in hell he's available at 16. I'm eliminating Fautanu as a realistic possibility. He would be choice 1 though IF he were there.

I see no reason whatsoever to draft an RT in this class. Everyone has their opinions but mine is you can throw Latham, Fuaga, Guyton, and Mims into that bag. I'm not especially interested with Taylor on board.

Thomas is the only WR I'm considering moving up for and I wouldn't want to use a 1st or 2nd from next year's draft to do it because I think the LT class next year has a chance to be better. I don't think the overall OT class is better, just so we're straight.

This team doesn't have a ton of needs but an elite weapon for this year would be a huge boost to the chances of a 3-peat, especially with the Rice situation and how that could play out. We can dick the dog and sign Donovan Smith again.

How about...

1. OT Guyton, Suamataia, or Paul
2. RB Brooks, Wright, or Benson
3. WR Legette, Burton, or Baker


Let's go!

I pulled the trade off with Seattle giving up 32, 2024, and Tennesee 3rd in 2024. Both clocked in at 1931 points.

perfect.

1) Patrick Paul LT
2) Graham Barton C/G
3) Ricky Pearsall WR

I agree with all this, although I probably wouldn't move up for Thomas. If we get Donovan Smith back I'd almost certainly wait it out and get a WR at 32. There's a lot of RTs floating around that I'm not particularly interested in gambling on switching to LT.

I think the price to move up for a genuine LT stud is going to be too high and burn through draft capital we need to sort some sneaky needs this year and next.

My perfect first 3 rounds:

1.xx - Trade Up for Joe Alt (we traded two seconds for Alex Smith, so what's two or three firsts to protect Mahomes for the next 15 years?)
2.64 - Troy Franklin/Malachi Corley
3.95 - Brenden Rice (I know this seems like a terrible pick, after taking a WR at 64, but I really think Brenden Rice is going to be better in the NFL than he was in college, and he has experience with a QB who gets out of the pocket like Mahomes. And, I just can't ignore the bloodline. I would love to draft him, and in 5 years have people talking about how he and his dad had the better first 5 years than Marvin Harrison & Marvin Harrison Jr. I also think two wide receivers in this draft, who hit, could set us up for a lot of financial flexibility, cause we are going to need it. And that way we can kick Skyy Moore to the curb.)

But, these are probably more likely scenarios:

1.32 - Kingsley Suamataia
2.64 - Troy Franklin
3.95 - T'Vondre Sweat

Or

1.32 - Adonai Mitchell
2.64 - Patrick Paul
3.95 - Braelon Allen

If we trade up:

1. Amarius Mims

2. Javon Baker

3. Renardo Green

We had to give up the 3rd, but you nailed the first two!

Hope he gets the 3rd right too
