Definitely. There are some good, athletic linebackers this year. I'd also Add Baron Browning from Ohio State to the list.

I think it would be a worthy insurance piece for us bc Sammy is the only bigger blocking receiver with talent and he is always hurt or hurting so the 4th receiver is just as important IMO. It’s more of a Demarcus Robinson problem. Sure he’s decent at blocking but he is so hot and cold. Seems like he’s barely above a JAG bc he has one or so good games/catches a year. |

I do think Reid puts a bit more premium on a Center than he does guards. If I go with Dane's suggestion that they don't take two O-Line early, I think I'd keep the Center and move guard to later. And then we hope that some of these projects the Chiefs have been toting around start and produce.

The extra comp picks should make a huge impact in addressing their needs. |

Thoughts on this?
1. LB Nick Bolton, Missouri (6'0" 230) The Chiefs linebackers are abysmal and need an injection of speed and talent. Bolton has both and can man any of the 3 spots. An addition of Bolton to a learning Willie Gay would pay dividends in the athlete category, and hopefully the performance category. 2. WR Marquez Stevenson, Houston (6'0" 190) Needs at WR are pressing heading into 2021. The Chiefs have used day 2 picks religiously to fill the position and I don't see that changing. With Watkins and DRob likely out, KC will need to replace that production and should look for a guy that can take over an outside spot sooner than later. Stevenson has speed for days and brings much of the skill set Watkins leaves behind. Previous: OG Royce Newman, Ole Miss (removed) 3. OC James Empey, BYU (6'4" 300) There may not be a better center in the country overall but Empey gets no love being from a lesser program. He's the best pass blocking center out there and we all know Reid will keep an eye on BYU players. 4. DE Rashad Weaver, Pittsburgh (6'5" 270) Weaver looked like a rising star in 2018 with 6.5 sacks and 16 tackles for a loss but his 2019 was over in training camp. He's looked good so far in his return to the field with 3.5 sacks in 3 games, including a game-wrecker performance against Syracuse. He could rise if he continues this trend. Previous: WR Kadarius Toney, Florida (removed) 4 (Comp). CB Nick McCloud, Notre Dame/NC State (6'1" 190) The CB room will continue to need additions again in 2021 with Breeland becoming a FA and Ward likely coming back on a 1-year tender. McCloud was a team captain at NC State before grad-transferring to ND. He's a long press corner with fluid, clean footwork for a longer corner and is good in off-coverage showing adequate burst to close and crowd the catch radius. 5. OG/C Derek Kerstetter, Texas (6'5" 310) Kerstetter is an athletic player that has played primarily at RT but has seen starts at OG and OC during his tenure and is set to be Texas' starting center for 2020. His versatility is a huge plus and, for what it's worth, he was PFF's top Power-5 player in pass blocking in 2019. Previous: Brady Breeze (down one pick) 5 (Comp). FS Brady Breeze, Oregon (6'0" 198) Losing Dirty Dan will mean replacing him and Breeze brings alot of similar attributes and is just a solid football player. He hits hard for his size, he's pretty quick, and he gets his hands on footballs to create plays. Previous: Malik Fisher (removed) 6. LB Jacquez Williams, Wake Forest (6'2" 220) I think at this juncture you're looking for guys that can play special teams and provide some depth, and the Chiefs will need it at LB. Williams is pretty quick and can man the weak side in the NFL, but he's going to need to gain some mass to take on NFL blockers. That said, he's shown some ability to make plays and be reliable in pass coverage. 7. TE Nick Muse, South Carolina (6'4" 240) The Chiefs always seem to be lacking in the TE department, so why not take a flier on a guy that has flashed some playmaking ability and attitude in Muse. He could be a nice sleeper pickup. QB: P. Mahomes, J. Ta'amu RB: C. Edwards-Helaire, D. Williams, D. Thompson FB: A. Sherman WR: T. Hill, M. Hardman, B. Pringle, M. Stevenson, M. Ffrench, J. Forston TE: T. Kelce, N. Keizer, N. Muse LT: E. Fisher LG: K. Osemele, M. Rankin OC: J. Empey, N. Allegretti RG: Y. Durant, D. Kerstetter RT: M. Schwartz, L. Niang DE: F. Clark, D. Harris DT: C. Jones, T. Wharton DT: D. Nnadi, K. Saunders, M. Pennel DE: R. Weaver, M. Danna, T. Ward SLB: W. Gay, D. Harris ILB: A. Hitchens, J. Williams WLB: N. Bolton, D. O'Daniel CB: C. Ward, L. Sneed, R. Fenton, N. McCloud, T. Keyes S: T. Mathieu, J. Thornhill, B. Breeze, A. Watts, R. Clemons K: Butker P: Townsend LS: Winchester |

Veach drafts great athletes and SPARQ heroes on the defensive side of the ball after the Breeland Speaks bust he's become like Dorsey. With prospects on Offense metrics are arbitrary

I like it. I don’t know much about Stevenson but think that round will be a good spot to grab a WR. Bolton and Gay could be a really dynamic duo at LB and give the Chiefs a great deal of versatility. I’m not sure Bolton will year out as a physical freak like Veach likes, but the guy can play. Rest of it looks good to me. |

I have a feeling we'll be getting another rb to compliment CEH next season. I think if things don't change then Thompson and Darrel Williams are likely gone along with Washington. I think in the 4th-5th round they might look for a big, physical back who can also catch the ball..so just like last offseason i'll be keeping a close eye on the backs for sure .

CEH, Damien Williams, and Thompson are all under contract for 2021. CEH and D. Williams is an above average 1-2 tandem. A bruiser that fits Andy’s system would be nice, but a luxury. |

When it comes to WR and RB depth, I'm not opposed to looking at some one year deals to provide us some depth.
For example. T.Y Hilton has disappointed in Indy, but his QB has been shit for the past couple years. I'd gladly sign him to a prove it type deal. Same with guys like AJ Green, Marvin Jones, and of course we can keep Sammy around. |
