I fully support moving out of the first, but it's crazy to think that if we do Veach will have never had a 1st round pick at his disposal through his first 3 years on the job.

I can’t wait to see how the Chiefs address the draft. We’re set up to take Best Available Player, instead of reaching on a player. Veach is the man.

Are we really though? We possibly can take BPA within reason depending on the position, but what if BPA happened to be a WR, DT, S, or DE in the first? If you take one of those positions in the first I think you're just adding a luxury when much bigger needs are there. By all means, we can certainly take BPA at CB, LB, OL in my opinion, but I personally wouldn't say we're just so set at every position that we can ignore positional needs in the draft. We still have some pretty huge holes on the roster at CB and LB in particular.

If a top notch receiver, tight end, safety, rb or pass rusher is available they should take them there too. Kelce is getting older Chris jones future with the team is uncertain Tanoh is in a contract year Speaks sucks ass Sammy and Robinson likely gone next year Mathieu has two contract years left This team is setup so that whatever player they deem the best value they can snag. Any position would be able to contribute year one. |

Aside from QB, BPA wouldn’t be bad at all.
WR-losing Sammy and Robinson after 2020 RB-Another weapon, Damien won’t be here more than 2 years OT-can cut Fisher if we draft one, save $$ G-definitely could use a dominant LG C-same ^^^ TE-Another weapon and Kelce is 30. Wouldn’t have to pay new TE until Kelce is 35. DE-Tanoh is in contract year, Okafor can’t be kept at 2021 price and Ogbah is gone. Pass rush is key DT-Another interior rusher next to Jones? Hell yeah. We don’t have a good interior rusher there outside of him (Speaks is unproven). Could also go entire contract before having to pay drafted player. LB-obvious need CB-obvious need S-imagine a first rd safety would be able to play all over. No problem with that I don’t like some of those positions for rd 1, but honestly it really wouldn’t bother me too much. What may not be a need now could be a need in 2 or 3 years and help benefit us cap wise. |

We moved out of the first and took Chris Jones. We still managed to grab Demarcus Robinson and Tyreek Hill later. We also grabbed Parker Ehinger who we flipped for Ward. |

The New Orleans Saints have planned to hold their war room at a brewery. Has Boulevard has approached the Chiefs?
That said, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see us trading out of the 1st, but at #32 I wonder what we could pick up. I doubt it would be much more than a mid to late 2nd. |

A drafted WR is only #4 or 5 until someone gets hurt. All of a sudden that player becomes a guy getting a lot of snaps. This is a team that routinely uses 3 WR or more sets. This offense essentially has 3 STARTING WR's. So your #4 guy is just an injury away from being a starter. And since this offense is, scratch that, TEAM, is centered around Pat Mahomes and our passing game, it's crucial that the unit stays strong even through injuries. You simply CANNOT go wrong drafting WR's for Mahomes no matter how many good ones you think you've got. |

I.e it was nice having the "luxury" of Dee Ford when Tamba Hali fell off. It was nice having the "luxury" of Watkins when Tyreek went down. |

Linebacker has been a weakness for a while and while he wasn't exactly a playmaker, losing Ragland just makes the position worse. We still don't have a single linebacker on the roster who can adequately cover a runningback or tight end. So yeah, I still think certain positions like WR are a luxury unless someone can come up with an explanation as to how the team will address cornerback and linebacker if they don't come out of the draft with each position addressed within the first 3-4 rounds. |
