I think Andy would like to run 12 personnel more but he's only got one TE that is both an effective receiver and an effective blocker. I think Tremble would allow Andy to run considerably more 12 personnel. Tremble can also play FB and HB allowing Andy to get deeper in his playbook and get Tremble more snaps.

What makes you say you think Andy wants to run more 12 personnel? If anything, the lack of ever even trying to get a TE2 suggests the opposite. |

TE2, fullback, big slot from motion? Maybe Andy wants a new wildcard. |

While I think that Reid wants to run the ball more efficiently, I can't ever see a day when his Pass/Run ratio is less than 60/40 at its lowest.
I don't think they even consider drafting a TE before their second pick in the 5th, and that's probably a stretch, especially since they re-signed Blake Bell and Nick Keizer. |

The Chiefs have drafted exactly two TE's in Reid's tenure. They traded away James O'Shaughnessy after just two years and haven't drafted one since. In 2019, Kelce played 93% of the offensive snaps while Bell only played 38% of their offensive snaps, so I just don't think that's a draft priority at this point in time. |

But look at what the Chiefs have done at the position. They're not going to draft a TE. They just don't value it like we do. |

Reid rarely drafted RB's high, but took CEH at #31. They'd paid OT's but not spent much in either cash or draft capital on OG's, but made Thuney the highest paid Guard in football. They'd shown they didn't value LB all that much, but drafted Gay in the second. The one constant, I think is that Reid is going to throw the football. I would find it interesting indeed if they took a TE like Tremble high. I don't expect them to. BUT I wouldn't be shocked. I think Andy likes to add new wrinkles and tinker constantly, it's what keeps him ahead of the curve. And you could make an argument that more 21 sets with talented TE's might make the lackluster 'X' receiver situation less of a weakness. Again, I'm not expecting that, just saying I could see why they might do it. |

It's the same thing with the big body, tall WR thing.
Andy clearly is intrigued with the possibilities...although he hasn't gone all in on one. But we gave Benjamin a try, Fortson and Kemp keep hanging around. Just because none of those guys has proven to be a legit threat doesn't mean the 'type' isn't one that Reid wouldn't utilize, it just means those guys aren't all that good. I wouldn't be shocked if we take a Nico Collins/Fehoko/Imatorbhebhe type. It would be a real mismatch for defenses that are trying to combat the speed of Hill and Hardman to have to deal with another big, physical receiver to pair with Kelce. But we don't really know what wrinkles Reid is thinking about adding this season; just plan on there being some new wrinkles. Of that, I'm sure. |

As opposed to taking a guy in the 2nd round, which is spending a premium resource. They've never really done that for a TE or a big WR. |

Tremble is an excellent blocker and that would seem to fit in with the new emphasis on being a better blocking team. Tremble lead blocking on WR screens with Hill and Hardman would be fun to watch. The 2 TE area of the playbook seems quite under utilized due to the current selection of #2 TEs, imo.
