I think the FA market will probably have the biggest movement on WRs. The cumulative effect of multiple years of very good receiver classes has to keep pushing very talented receivers further and further down the board, plus there are now teams that surely have a zero percent chance of taking a WR in the 1st. |

in every mock I run (and I'm aware that they are not necessarily accurate) if you don't grab an OT by the early 3rd, you're getting a project or a player that is most likely a G in the NFL. So for KC, they'll need to grab one at #32 or #64 to realistically have a starter in 2021.
If you don't grab a DE in round 1 or 2, the field narrows from potential 10 sack guys to solid but unspectacular developmental guys according to scouting projections. There are WR's that will push all the way into the 4th with serious playmaking ability. Judging by a looking at a little film and scouting reports, I'm not seeing a huge difference between the 1st round guys and 3rd round guys like Amari Rodgers. Interior offensive line prospects look really good all the way into the 5th. this leads me to figure we need to go OT/DE in rounds one and two, and WR in round 3. There should be multiple players ranked right where we pick in each round, meaning without reaching there are guys that appear to be good fits and good value, it will just depend on which players Veach likes best. Of course, this is based on media scouting and player rankings, so we'll see how it actually shakes out. |

In almost all of my mocks, you're getting a developmental OT or projected OG at #32, let alone #64 or later. The actual starting tackles in this draft are about 8 and they all go before #32 most of the time. |

not according to the scouting reports I'm seeing, and not by the PFN board.

Eichenberg is not a guard, and is projected as a plug-and-play starter at LT and is always there at #64. Jalen Mayfield is always there at #32. Radunz is too. You can argue the mocks are wrong, and they might well be. You can argue with the scouting reports if you want to, but I'll defer to guys who do it for a living. |

I think you gotta hope Niang can do it. Legit LT prospects just go earlier in the first than we can get.
If we want one to actually replace Fisher and not be a place holder, I’d look at trading 32 for one who’s established. The dude from Balt would be intriguing financially and from a value standpoint. With other dudes getting expensive, they’re gonna have to save somewhere. |

IF we nabbed Little, (or Radunz, or Eichenberg) at #64 I think you probably have your bookend tackles moving forward, assuming Niang plays RT.
I'd still look to either find/sign vet insurance, but I'd be satisfied that the position had been addressed in terms of draft capital. Then a Jaelen Phillips at #32 gives you what I think would be a dominant front four. Last edited by Chris Meck; 02-06-2021 at 11:56 AM.. |

I think there are maybe 4 or 5 legit OT's that will still be there when we pick. Not guys who will be guards, but legit OT's. I think there are a couple that will still be there at #64. Little, for example, much like Niang was in round 3 last year, same reasons. We DO have to hope Niang pans out. That's just the way it is. |

At this point it may be one you just have to take and rely on your coaching staff. I’d still look around via trade though. If fisher and Schwartz are done, use their money and 32 to see what you can get. The Lt from Detroit is interesting if they wanna really tear down. |

Anything we do is a risk. I'm just relying on scouting reports and player rankings. They may be wrong. Veach has his own scouting reports and player rankings I'm certain. It's all speculation, and I'm just going by the information there is, which says guys like Radunz, Eichenberg, or Little (who probably has the highest ceiling but is riskier) will be there as late as #64 and are legit starting LT's in the NFL. |

I’d imagine they have bookmarked funds for a T as it’s a pretty highly paid priority. I’m not at all opposed to going young and developmental but if you could use 32 to fortify the spot at LT for a long time with a young proven vet I’d be interested for sure |
