Chiefs draft rumor & plans for virtual draft

I still wouldn’t count on it, but I don’t think it’s 100% certain anymore.

The good news is that, if we don’t trade either direction, only 31 players will be drafted prior to the Chiefs pick. There will be outstanding players available.

Lately, I'm thinking I'd really like to see us take a stud LB or RB in the first. It would be a lot of fun to have a real difference-maker there.

Murray, Queen, or Swift would be exciting picks I think, but better depth at RB later in the draft. If Swift isn't available, how about...

1. Murray or Queen LB
2. Hall or Fulton CB
3. Gibson or Moss RB

I love these options! If Taylor or Dobbins is available in the first and Veach wants a rb than those are it. But Moss for a mid round pick would be nice. You would reunite Hall with Thornhill or you could give Honey Badger a LSU player in Fulton

Really like Cushenberry. If Queen and Fulton are off the board I think Cush is the most talented center prospect to come out in years. He would make Pat's life much better as elite centers make a difference.

Andy Reid took Jason Kelce in the 6th. Reiter's a former 7th rounder. While Morse was a later 2nd, that didn't work out so well and the Chiefs allowed him to walk.

I have a very, very difficult time believing that the Chiefs take a center at #32 overall or even if they trade back into the high second round, due to the quality of perimeter players and running backs in this draft.

Eric Fisher, Mitch Morse.

Chiefs have spent high picks on OL. NFL OL are not getting developed to the same degree as before in college. They are a more rare commodity as every team needs to grab them. If I can take a guy with pro bowl upside at center that's a great pick.

It's a TERRIBLE pick. It's stupid and reactionary.

Fisher was clearly the #1 selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, so that's neither here nor there.

I already mentioned the selection of Morse, which was NOT a successful pick due to injuries and concussions.

Reid and Veach would be foolish to waste the #32 over all pick on a center and I don't think they're foolish.

You think the offensive line "is stupid?

That's a strange attitude. Look at how crappy the Patriots offense went when they lost their center and another OL. Elite centers are huge difference makers in the current NFL.

Meanwhile you want a RB as a better value?



Morse was made the highest paid center in the NFL...looks like there is more value there then you say.

The more I analyze this, it seems like corner is going to be our first pick barring a coveted player falling to us.

Even if we signed a FA corner, we’d still need to get another one to replace Fuller. It seems like the sweet spot for drafting a corner will be from 25-50.

Okudah
Henderson
Gladney
Johnson
Terrell
Fulton
Diggs
Igbinoghene
Hall

Dude, Okudah's going to Top Ten.

I'm not big on Gladney because he's only 5'10 while playing in a division with much taller WR's but if they take him, all good.

But I think it puts far less pressure on the front office and player if they trade back and grab a WR & CB in the second while picking up an additional 3rd, 4th or 5th rounder.

I was just listing all the corners to show the depth of the position. 9 quality first rd caliber talents (some falling due to injury).

It’s hard to say what they’ll do, but I would love for us to use Seattle’s plan and trade down. I am an advocate of trading down twice from 32 if it means that we get 2 more picks in the top 110.

I'd take one in the 3rd round and another in the 5th or 6th that could be used for a trade up.

Personally, I'd love to have two 2's and two 3's but it'll just depend on how the board develops.

Okudah is probably going top 5

I wouldn’t be opposed to a center

Wouldn’t be my first choice. Frankly I don’t care who they pick this year though
