But a late 3rd and a most likely, a late 1st next year? No brainer.
Buffalo is dumb.
The Chiefs will most likely, move up and down tomorrow, as they have the ammo. This team was never going to draft 10 guys, as there isn't room on the roster but they're in a prime position to land a OLBer, ILBer, RB, CB and guard.
It's going to be a fantastic draft.
Stealing Ragland for a 2019 4th Round Pick was the icing on the cake of the 2017 acquisitions. [Reply]
My dissenting vote was really questioning whether the Chiefs could have picked up another QB with their original pick (and that would've been Kizer given how the draft turned out), and then added a first and third round pick to the roster in addition. We'll see in the long run how it shakes out, but Mahomes is looking a lot better than Kizer right now. The Bills ended up drafting a CB and SS with their 2017 picks, which wouldn't have gone over well in Chiefsland.
The Mahomes pick is truly a franchise saver at this point. If he wasn't picked (or at least some quarterback wasn't picked), times would be be quite dire around here. [Reply]

True. If Mahomes wasn't in the fold, I wouldn't care about the Chiefs future whatsoever. I would have totally severed my fandom just like I did in 2011-2012. (Gave up our Front row Season tickets after 22 years). [Reply]
