My initial thought on the draft after signing Brown was that a trade up for a surefire LT would be the plan, if Veach has a guy in mind.
I then got caught up in the sexy WR options, but as next week nears I've come back around to that thinking. That 5-year investment makes a lot of sense, especially when Mahomes proved last year that all he needs at WR is guys who don't drop the ball. Those guys can be had off the street or in mid-late rounds, as boring as that might be. You likely aren't finding a franchise LT outside of the top 15 picks. |

Well let's give it a look - I suspect you have 'top 10' comprises most of them. Before I do the homework I'll say top 10 is roughly 1/2 of your top tier tackles, another 25% in the next 22 picks, the remaining 25% everywhere else. We'll use PFF because it's an easy list.
Sewell: 7th overall Williams: 4th overall Mailata: 7th Round Tyron Smith: 9th overall Wirfs: 13th overall Braden Smith: 2nd Round Darrisaw: 23rd overall Raimann: 3rd round Decker: 16th overall Morgan Moses: 3rd Round Trent Brown: 7th Round Kolton Miller: 15th Overall Lane Johnson: 4th overall Rob Havenstein: 2nd Round Zach Tom: 4th Round Terron Armstead: 3rd Round Rashawn Slater: 13th Overall Andrew Thomas: 4th Overall Garett Bolles: 20th Overall Kaleb McGary: 31st Overall Laremy Tunsil: 13th Overall Dion Dawkins: 2nd Round Taylor Moton: 2nd Round Brian O'neill: 2nd Round Ryan Ramczyk: 32nd overall Luke Goedeke: 2nd Round Spencer Brown: 3rd Round Ronnie Stanley: 6th Overall Orlando Brown: 3rd Round Cam Robinson: 2nd Round Towards the bottom of that list I added some guys (and subtracted some) to address off seasons or out of the ordinary good ones. Guys like Cross and Ekwonu are early in their careers but I don't think either trend as 'franchise LTs right now. So I think that's a reasonably representative list. The top 10 was actually pretty sparse (only 4 of them) so I moved it to top 16 - the front half of the round. Top 16: 11 17 - 32: 4 Everyone else: 14 The list isn't truly horrifying. Ramczyk and McGary are quite good. And guys like Dawkins, Moton, O'Neill, Goedeke and Brown out of the 2nd would all be fantastic assets for us as cheap, above average starting tackles. I think we can get a guy that's good enough at the position from 32. But we have to identify/coach them up better than most. And we probably have to be a little patient. Obviously the hit rate is far higher at the top, but that's to be expected at essentially any position. There do appear to be a fair number of pretty good starting OTs that come from the back of the 1st and beyond. |

The Athletic show was talking about tackles and one guy they said could fall to about 20 is Fataunu. Most expect Alt, Fashanu, Latham and Fuaga to go before him but he’s athletic as hell and started at LT ever year at Washington. Only major con is he’s 6’4” which to me isn’t really a big negative |

It costs so much to do it. It makes sense when you're going after a franchise QB, but at LT is so much more limited in what he can do for your team. I'll be pretty shocked if we make a deal to trade up this far for a LT. It wouldn't surprise me at all to trade up to get one, but up to #10 is something like our 1st pick this year, our second pick this year, and our first pick next year. Maybe more.
We could trade up to #16 this year with this year's first, this year's second, and next year's second. Maybe. |

I like Worthy and think that he has better ability to run routes than his critics suggest. But Thomas Jr. is just so damn complete. Worthy doesn't come down with the ball as often as you'd like in contested, difficult situations, which is why he's a 2nd round guy imo (not saying he wont go in the 1st, but i think he's 2nd round kinda guy) Thomas Jr....i struggle to find any holes in his game. /Shrug. Thomas Jr. is a CP draft forum wet dream. CPDF will let out a collective sigh heard across all of Chiefs Kingdom when he inevitably comes off the board. |
