Call Your Shot: Who's the Chiefs first pick?

[staylor26]

Rule: You can change your answer up until next Thursday!

This might be the toughest year yet for this. I can see so many different possibilities, especially considering that I think there's a solid chance the Chiefs trade up.

Edit: It's draft day and I'm changing my pick!

Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

There's way too much smoke about the Chiefs trading up and/or them targeting a LT. I'm going with a guy that I think could make it into our range, who also has the kind of upside that would have Veach itching to make a move to go get him.

If the Bills don't trade up, we don't get Mitchell - he's going to Buffalo. But if Buffalo trades up for BTJ, I could see Mitchell sliding the rest of the way to us.

Dallas still feels like a good trade-up candidate if that happens and we get a little skittish.

I think the Bills are scared of getting leap frogged again. They trade up if there's a guy they really like.

The question is is he....

WHITE WR= Thielan, Kupp or Edelman?

Or

White wr= Renfrow, Pierce or Beasley?

This is the fear. The top bunch would be great and could elevate the offense. But the bottom bunch would be ok and play a role. And right now it's hard to know what group Ladd falls into. Questions about him only being a slot guy and struggling against press linger in the air.

The question is is Adonai Mitchell...

BLACK WR = Higgins, Pickens or Lamb?

Or

Black wr = Baldwin, Benjamin or Claypool?

See how stupid that is?

The post I responded to talked about "people can't fathom a white wr breaking ankles". And I merely added onto why there is doubt.

Good black wideouts are a dime a dozen. Good white wideouts aren't. Kupp and Theilan are older now and there's no young good ones at the moment. That's just a fact .

All in on a top 30 visit. Seems like they are more than preparing for a 2nd rd WR.

But they haven't really met with any 1st round players at all.

I wouldn't read too much into that.

FWIW, Nick Wright believes the Chiefs will go O-Tackle in the 1st

As it stands they almost have to. I can't believe they go into the season with Morris and Prince Winnebago as their options at LT. Signing Donovan Smith or someone else to a one year contract just pushes the problem to next year when they already have Bolton, Creed and Trey Smith to sign or replace

If so, that will surely mean a trade-up if a GM is willing. If they go WR, they would more likely pick who falls to 32, which would probably be AD Mitchell or Worthy, or maybe McConkey near slot or reach for Franklin or Legette. I generally hate trading up, but this year makes sense if you can get Latham or Mims in the mid 20s

Some MFing stud.

[BigRedChief]

No matter how the trade ups or downs go on draft day, we are taking a WR. No matter how it shakes out, there will be a WR worthy of pick 32 for us to take.
