If we're talking about tackles, the Chiefs are likely in a trade-up scenario unless they severely underperform expectations.
I do like Zion Nelson from Miami quite a bit in terms of "likely," reasonable targets. I'd keep my eyes on Carter Warren from Pitt as well. I think he's going higher in the draft than current ratings. |

Feels like the pre-season T ratings are only viable for maybe the first 2-3 guys. We aren't likely in on them.
So I can't see a real conversation to be had until at least October when some of these guys have a few games under their belts. |

Kaleb McGary is probably the best T so far from 19 - went 31st. Jawaan Taylor at 35. Ramczyk went 32 in '17, Cam Robinson went 34. '16 was mostly chalk. 20 is trending that way. But I don't think they've unlocked a blueprint by any means. I mean Jordan Mailata went in the 7th in 2020 and played really well when Peters went down and has become one of the better young Ts in the game. I think Larry Borom may follow a similar arc in Chicago. It isn't easy, but it's doable. |

We actually were set up in a great spot in this past draft to have taken Petit Frier in round 2 and let him learn for a year.

Yes, Petit-Frere was on my list of pretty desirable targets at the back of 2. Hell, just his presence on the roster may have made the contract discussions go smore smoothly. Cook had better be really damn good... |

Worse case scenario, you sign OBJ and you have Petit Frere as a RT.

I'm hopeful Cook is a good player. He needs to be.
We really need this draft to be a big hit. Like an all time Chiefs draft. |
