I guess I had forgotten they moved out of the first again, thanks.

And Fenton looked pretty damn good for a rookie. He'll be a better player for us than Fuller ever was. Look, if CB is the right guy where we pick, then great take him. No one is saying not to. But reaching for a player just because it's a "need" is how you build bad football teams. We've seen that time and time again. And again, it's not a luxury, but an insurance policy. One that we WILL eventually need. if they do take a WR early, and he blossoms, and Watkins leaves next season, you're going to be damn glad the Chiefs invested in a "luxury". You take the BPA every time because the benefits far, far outweigh the negatives. It's much better to have a good player that you don't "need" than to have a bad player that you can't use. |

I've expected them to trade down from #32 since they won the Superbowl.
There's WAY too much perimeter talent for the Chiefs to pass up and I'd love to see them grab a RB and WR within the first three rounds. Regardless of their defensive holes, it's not a player or two away from being dominating unit, whereas adding a stellar rookie WR and RB might be enough to push this offense into the Greatest Of All Time conversation. |

I dont expect them to trade down. Havent had a 1st round pick in years now, given the cap situation that extra years valuable.

Having an extra player taken on a rookie contract from the 3rd round for 4 years is more valuable than a single 5th year option. If the 1st round pick was good enough he'd likely be extended before the 5th year anyways

Also, not having a first round pick didn't hurt their Super Bowl run and if not for the offsides penalty in 2018, we'd probably be looking at a Chiefs team that won Back-To-Back titles. Personally, I'd rather have two 2's and two 3's in this draft than a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. |

The Chiefs are in a great spot to repeat as champions. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Veach moved up and CP loses its mind.

Andy at the hotel room: "Press 1 to make a draft selection. Press 0 to order room service".
The pressure will be real. |

With only 5 picks, the Chiefs don't have the luxury to draft for "depth". They need their first 3 picks (and hopefully 4th) to contribute almost immediately and it would be an absolute waste of critical resources to spend anything other than their 5th on depth. |

I mean, I agree we shouldn't overdraft a CB, guard or LB. I just find it hard to believe that if we trade down and acquire an additional pick in the 3rd that we can't find a way to make BPA match up with at least 2 of of those positions. And I guess I'm back to bitching about the lack of draft picks at cornerback yet again, and last year I was proven wrong about the positional group then. But at least we had bodies then. We don't even have enough warm bodies to throw at the position to field a defense right now. Rashad Fenton is the only corner we've drafted in the last 3 years, and luckily he's worked out well so far. Can you imagine ignoring the position for a 4th year in a row? Ward is also a RFA after next year as well and could be in line for a bigger contract next offseason if he finally puts it all together. Either way, I'm fairly confident Veach will in fact draft a corner in the first 3 rounds. And I'm hoping a linebacker is in the mix as well, because that's another position we've largely ignored in the draft. It's not exactly surprising that we have positional weaknesses at CB, LB, and OL when the only player we've taken at any of those positions in the last 3 years has been Dorian O'Daniel, and he's a complete bust. |
