I really feel like tackle is the right move, but ****, no way we’re getting high enough for one of the sure fire left tackle guys. Maybe it’s guyton and we deal with the concerns and develop him ala fisher. |

Patrick is so good at evading pressure that I feel like we don't have to draft someone ready to go to the pro bowl. All we need is someone that is consistent, good, and able to develop. I don't know who that is, but surely our scouting department knows.

Ok, IF the CHIEFS traded up to 14 with the Saints, who would you take?

Having the #14 pick could be interesting. Especially if 6 QB's go in the first 13 picks. That would mean only 7 positional players other than QB are off the board.
Out of those 7, you kind of have to figure the top 3 WR's are gone, but that may not be a given if 6 QB's go early. And the OT's shouldn't be all gone by 14 either. I wouldn't go Bowers. Probably wouldn't go defense either. So for me at 14, unless one of the top 3 WR's fall, LT would be the pick. Odunze if he falls. Fautanu otherwise. |

Picking at 30 plus every year, you just have to keep taking shots on guys with the length and athletic abilities and try to develop them. I don't think it's prudent to mortgage the future to go up high to get one. As we saw this off-season, we're going to lose a few guys every year that we can't afford to pay. We need to draft well and get contributors in every class.

Picking where we are every year, you're gonna need to do something to try and get a blue chip guy at some point.
Be that trading 32 this year for someone's 1 next year and their 3rd this year or something, and hoping they suck next year... or whatever. |

Thought exercise:
We all would be fine with Rashawn Slater at LT and think the Chiefs would have taken him in a heartbeat if given the opportunity, right? Well, Jordan Morgan measures very similarly to Slater and the whole "arm length" thing we've talked about ad nauseum is a factor with Morgan... well, Slater's arms are a whopping 1/8" longer than Morgan's. I'm perfectly fine with Morgan as a LT prospect at this point. He's got experience, he's a good athlete, his technique is solid, and he's ready to go. |

I'd argue he should be.
Maybe his length isn't ideal, especially for the Chiefs. But man, he's a smooth, experienced, good pass protector with good athleticism and strength. Maybe he isn't the LT you love long-term. But shoot, you can throw him into the mix with the expectation that he can smoothly transition to guard in 2025 if LT isn't a long-term home. It makes a lot of sense to me. |
