I'll try and update this periodically throughout the season.

The Chiefs currently aren't getting any pressure on the quarterback. That's obviously because Justin Houston is out, but Dee Ford, starting in his place, has done nothing. Tamba Hali doesn't have much longer remaining as a pro, so the Chiefs will need to find a suitable replacement for him.

The Chiefs could spend a second-day selection on an inside linebacker, given that Derrick Johnson is nearing retirement. [Reply]
Daniel Jeremiah's mock... Surprised he has Trubisky falling to 32.

CBS Rob Rang has Mike Williams falling to us and Kizer out of the 1st.

Mike Williams, WR, Clemson: The Chiefs’ receiving corps is full of savvy route runners and speed demons but lacks bulk and physicality, which is precisely where the 6-3, 218 pound Williams excels. This would be an ideal landing spot for Williams, whose ability to win contested passes could make him a perfect red zone threat for an offense built around Alex Smith’s accuracy in the short to intermediate levels.

Prisco has Awuzie as the second corner off the board. I don't think he's better than most of the guys who Prisco had going after him in the first and Teez Tabor isn't in there at all. [Reply]

Its ridiculous. The qb with what many consider the highest potential not going until 27. Not in our reality will that happen so don't fret about that stupid mock. [Reply]

If GM's are sensible that will happen.
The infatuation of a 1st round qb selection has caused the fanbase to go full retard. Geno Smithesque.
Huge red flags around Kizer and Mahomes and to a lesser degree Watson. Stacked defensive talent along with rb and wr in round one. Because of draft position, the Chiefs should be in a rather decent spot to make a move on a qb to develop, but they will sacrifice top-shelf talent elsewhere. [Reply]

Yup. Which is why I hope they pass on a 1st round QB this year as the talent is far superior at other positions. [Reply]
From Kiper's new mock. He doesn't have Mahomes going in the first...

Jeremy Maclin had a down season in 2016, and the Chiefs' top pass-catchers were tight end Travis Kelce and rookie fifth-round pick Tyreek Hill, who's not a true No. 1 wideout. Jones has moved up my board considerably thanks to his performances at the Senior Bowl and combine, where he ran a 4.45 40 and had a 36.5-inch vertical. At 6-2, 201 pounds, he put up huge numbers for the Pirates last season with 158 catches for 1,746 yards and eight touchdowns. Adding Jones would help open up the Chiefs' offense and give Alex Smith a reliable, productive target.

He has great hands and has been very productive but I'd sure rather have that QB [Reply]
