4-133 OT/G Delmar Glaze - Maryland - 6'4" 315

Giving you my first 3 picks since I'm trading away the 2nd rounder.

Going against all I believe in to get Pat a "hyper-elite" weapon.

I am crushed by the buy-in to the BTJ hype, tbh. He might be "hyper-elite" someday.

IF:
He learns to run more than three routes
He learns to use his size effectively.
He cuts his drops in half.

That's a lot of big ifs for a trade-up deep into the first round. I would take him at 32. I might even move to 27 for him. But I have a hard time giving up that much capital for someone who requires so many ifs - particularly given the Chiefs problems developing WRs and my complete lack of faith in their WR coach.

KCCROW if you move up to 16, my GOD then you have to weigh the choice between Brian Thomas Jr. or JC Latham or Troy Fautanu. IF those are your options at that 16 pick, who do you take? That would be some very serious options!

With my personal opinion on Fautanu, Jeremiah having him as his 11th overall prospect, Brugler having him as his 9th overall prospect, and Zeurlein having him as his 16th overall prospect, I see absolutely no way in hell he's available at 16. I'm eliminating Fautanu as a realistic possibility. He would be choice 1 though IF he were there.

I see no reason whatsoever to draft an RT in this class. Everyone has their opinions but mine is you can throw Latham, Fuaga, Guyton, and Mims into that bag. I'm not especially interested with Taylor on board.

Thomas is the only WR I'm considering moving up for and I wouldn't want to use a 1st or 2nd from next year's draft to do it because I think the LT class next year has a chance to be better. I don't think the overall OT class is better, just so we're straight.

This team doesn't have a ton of needs but an elite weapon for this year would be a huge boost to the chances of a 3-peat, especially with the Rice situation and how that could play out. We can dick the dog and sign Donovan Smith again.

I agree with all this, although I probably wouldn't move up for Thomas. If we get Donovan Smith back I'd almost certainly wait it out and get a WR at 32. There's a lot of RTs floating around that I'm not particularly interested in gambling on switching to LT.

I think the price to move up for a genuine LT stud is going to be too high and burn through draft capital we need to sort some sneaky needs this year and next.

I pulled the trade off with Seattle giving up 32, 2024, and Tennesee 3rd in 2024. Both clocked in at 1931 points.

perfect.
