Chiefs draft rumor & plans for virtual draft

Ruggs
Jefferson
Higgins
Lamb

Were to fall to 32, it would be awfully hard for KC to pass up that type of talent.

I don't see any way Jeudy falls (nor really Lamb or Ruggs) but Jefferson or Higgins could be there.

That's talent so good - and so much better than they're likely to be in position to draft themselves for years yet - you can't pass it up, IMO.

Plus, Watkins and Robinson are one-year solutions at this point.

I would absolutely love Higgins. He needs some work on his routes but dude is a stud

I don't think of Higgins as comparable to those others. For me it is

Jeudy in his own tier

Then Lamb

Then Jefferson

After that Ruggs, KJ Hamler, Pittman, Shenault, Aiyuk all in a cluster

Then after that Mims and Higgins

Then you are looking at a Reagor, Mooney, etc

If we were to take a WR at the end of the 1st (assuming Jeudy, Lamb, and Jefferson gone) I would think about KJ Hamler.

Next year you move Hardman into Watkins spot (but play him as a vertical decoy) and wreck people with Hill, Hamler, Kelce and the running game.

I would hate to see what other, not so fortunate teams, list as their draft needs LOL!

Belichick is trading a seventh for the #1 overall draft pick lol

Do you think we can get him in the late 2nd or high 3rd.... Because this is who I want to pair with Mahomes for next 5 years.

He’s projected late first early second

I think having this kid for between the 20's and Williams for 3rd down's etc could really help Mahomes.

I'm not sold on our offensive line, and having a great rushing attack will allow him more time in the pocket. It will also give us more favorable looks in passing game.


Not that we need any XD

We just won the super bowl with our current O Line and RB against the best defense in the league. However we just lost a starting LB and CB. I think those are the first two needs

That running back has never been healthy enough to play a full 16 game season as the main back, making running back a definite priority.

Williams has 1,231 rushing yards and 12 TD's in six seasons.

Kareem Hunt had 1,327 and 8 TD's in his rookie season.

The Chiefs need a feature back.

only have 1 RDE (Kpass)

Suggs and Ogbah gone

CB is a real issue, I'm not sure we don't have to draft a CB in RD 1.


Losing Wis hurts at LG, Wylie sucks.

The more I watch and the more I read I want Dobbins in the first or Akers in the second. Akers is such a fluid athlete and catches the ball out of the backfield effortlessly. Our offense would be ridiculous.

Chiefs need to draft well because we aren't any better than we were last year.

QB - still a beast
WRs - same
Oline - worse, Wisniewski to Remmers. Is Remmer going to be a swing OT or LG? I don't want Wylie to start at LG anymore. I think we got worse.
TEs - same (jones is a better receiver but can't run block, pass block is ok)
RBs - same

DL - worse, loss of Ogbah
LBs - worse, loss of Lee, Ragland
CBs - worse, loss of Fuller, Breeland
Safeties - same if Thornhill comes back from injury

A whole lot of "pending" worse for a super bowl team. We better have a damn good draft. We need players than can produce in their 1st year.

We need to drop down in the draft and get more picks is what I'm thinking.
