If the Chiefs traded into top 10 who would you want them to draft?

If I'm giving all that up, I'd just offer it to Minnesota for Jefferson and pay the guy too. At least I know I'm getting a superstar.

Two problems with this.

1.Jefferson not available

2. Jefferson would require a max contract. Move up for Nabers and we would have a #1 WR on a cost controlled contract for several years.

That's valuable.

He might be available for the right price and two 1sts and a 2nd is awful tempting for a team that's going to need to rebuild. Especially given they might be able to use that ammo this year to go up to #2 for a QB if they want.

There's also no guarantee Nabers is going to be great and certainly might not be worth the cost of acquisition in comparison to just getting someone like Franklin.

It's just not a worthwhile investment in capital. WR is not a pillar position. I just can't support going balls-deep on it unless I know I'm getting a generational talent. QB, Pass Rusher, Left Tackle... That's about it for me.

Well, we have the QB.

With Spags I don't think we need a franchise pass-rusher to remain near the top ten either if we kept Sneed/McDuffie.

Left Tackle isn't as valuable to me in the current NFL because of the QB we have.

Maybe if we had a statue pocket passer but Mahomes is a modern QB.

So WR would be something I would want because the current Chiefs SB Championships all had a 1 or 2 HOF pass-catchers.

Veach traded one and the other is almost aged out.

So moving forward if Nabers projects as a elite #1 I go get him at 9.

I don't do the move to top 5 as that is another level of expense and I would be out at a certain point.

This is real life. Not madden.

The reality is that Veach started with 2 HOF weapons already on the roster for Mahomes and he traded one away to build the defense and the other is almost aged out.

We need an elite weapon post Kelce.

Why wait til he's done when an opportunity presents itself?

That said, I doubt Nabers is around at 9 anyway.

He had two top 5 tackles at their respective sides too. The difference in wideouts at 10 vs 32 every year is marginal. The difference in tackles is massive. Anyway we aren’t going up that for or even within spitting distance. So it’s all for nothing.
