Position somewhat be damned. If there's a really good safety there, take him. Let Reid go, use that money for a WR or whatever etc. |

Yes, a good player is valuable, even if that player is a “complimentary” WR. Not even speaking to the need of a WR in round 1, if the pick isn’t WR then so be it. But I strongly disagree with the idea that a Devonta Smith type in rd 1 isn’t an ideal selection. Adding someone even close to the caliber of Devonta Smith to this offense instantly takes the group back to a top 5 unit, even more so paired with a smart veteran addition.

That's a different argument though.
Once you've picked the player, yes, you want someone atleast of that caliber. I'm discussing more so my preference of actual player. Plus, you still have 5 or 6 other draft picks to make. I'm no shoehorning myself into a position ever early in the draft. |

I like Legette as much as the next guy, but the Chiefs simply don't draft guys his age. Jussayin'.

That's a pretty convincing vision IMO: "How to fix the offense in just 2 moves." Last edited by Couch-Potato; 01-18-2024 at 08:42 PM.. |

It was better than both of Aiyuk's first two seasons. |

I mean, I just watched highlight videos posted in one of these threads, and Legette seems so much more ready than Franklin.
Franklin looked like another big body playing like a tiny dude - similar to how I felt about whatshisass last year. Legette tracks the ball well and aggressively attacks the ball at the high points and wins contested catches. While Franklin might have more top speed, his acceleration and lateral agility were visibly worse than Legette. Bottom line: Legette would be higher on my board if I had to just go off those two videos. |

If Rice can be that, great. I just don't like looking for a guy in the first who I don't think can really be a tried and true alpha. It's probably not rational, but the Sky Moore thing and Hardman has burned me. Aiyuk puts Smith to shame at this point. We should trade for Aiyuk and not worry about any of this!! |

I'm coming at this too from the stance that once we get past.....Harrison JR, Nabers, Odunze....I don't think there's really much separation between the rest.
A couple of them will be good a couple will be decent and a couple will bust. We need to figure out which is which. |

Back around draft time there was some talk that the Chiefs did not want to part with their 2024 1st round pick because there is someone in this draft class that Veech is really high on. It didn't specify what position or player that it was. I am assuming it isn't Harrison Jr., because even back then common sense puts Harrison Jr out of out range for a move up, 2024 1st round pick in hand or not.
I wonder if this player is still a target of Veech after this past college season? And if so, will he be willing to go all in and move up to draft that player? |

I just don't think they have the draft capital to really move up. They need all the picks this year.

DeVonta had at least 4 receptions in all but 3 games and two of those 3 were 3 catches. He had over 1k yards and 7 TDs again. I don't know who you're thinking of but DeVonta Smith never has been less than good. His career trajectory is considerably better than Aiyuk's. |

Leggette is a one-year wonder. I mean, I'm happy he was still a lesser player in his 5th year, after taking roids, than Franklin was in his 3rd. |
