I'll try and update this periodically throughout the season.
17. Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri
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.
49. Anthony Walker, ILB, Northwestern
The Chiefs could spend a second-day selection on an inside linebacker, given that Derrick Johnson is nearing retirement. [Reply]
Miami at 22 might be the perfect trade partner... if we have any interest in a specific QB. #27 and #104 (the late 3rd comp pick) for #22 is in the ball park on points. And Miami does not have a 4th round pick. Trade makes sense for both teams. [Reply]

Coming out of Vanderbilt, the athletic and tenacious linebacker hasn’t gotten as much publicity as some of his draft classmates, but Cunningham is an instinctive playmaker who racked up an SEC-best 125 tackles in 2016. If Derrick Johnson is slow to return from a late-season Achilles tear, Cunningham could line up next to Ramik Wilson in the Chiefs defense and start Day 1. But even if Johnson returns to form this season, Kansas City needs a long-term replacement for the 34-year-old.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit. I think Cook is a better overall back and fits today's NFL style better. Fournette really fits teams looking at using a power running game, but not so much the zone teams and the teams that are pass heavy. I think Fournette's earliest hope is Carolina, but if they pass his next landing spot could be Washington at 19. [Reply]

Jets, especially if they can trade back a few spots. [Reply]

I could. They tried moving up for Treadwell last year according to reports. But nobody is drafting Zay Jones in the 1st. Davis, Williams, Ross and McCaffrey (he is a receiver imo) go round 1.
Maclin is due a lot of money next year. Too much....
If Williams or Davis slide, I would expect Dorsey to grab one of them. [Reply]

That Treadwelll rumor had to be bullshit. He isn't a fit at all. [Reply]

Are you saying that because of the season he had last year? Because if you look at measurables only, he is similar to Conley. Maybe Conley's year one production underwhelmed and they wanted an upgrade. More red zone size could be a plus as well. [Reply]

No, I said as much then too and I liked him as a prospect. The Lynch and Treadwell rumors were BS IMO. He is not similar to Conley aside from size. Conley has rare measurables comparable to Julio, while Treadwell isn't close to that level of athleticism. [Reply]

I saw Conley today dude has put on a little bit of muscle. Glad we didnt draft Treadwell. [Reply]
