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]
I believe Dorsey would make a bold move if the time and player were right. Dorsey doesn't strike me as a draft coward.
I'll believe it when I see it. He already had the chance to sit on his ass and draft Derek Carr and he passes for fucking Dee Ford. I have no more faith in him to draft a QB than I did in Peterson or Pioli. [Reply]

They had already committed to Smith with the extension. As others have pointed out, the Chiefs are in a better position to cut ties with Smith now. But yeah, I can understand your frustration. [Reply]

I think that we are, what... 7mil on the hook for Smith if he gets cut/traded this season?
Yup, this is the first time it has been cap friendly to move away from Smith. [Reply]
The Chiefs could go in a ton of directions with this pick, and it wouldn't surprise me if they moved down as a result of Quenton Nelson returning to Notre Dame. If the Chiefs stay put, they could consider a talented pass-rusher. Sure, they already have Justin Houston, Tamba Hali and Dee Ford, but Hali won't be around much longer, while Ford is entering his contract year. Ford could command more money on the open market than the Chiefs are willing to pay him, and if so, this new edge rusher will come in handy.

Andy Reid committed to Alex Smith for next season, but that doesn't mean that he won't spend an early-round selection on a quarterback to eventually take over for his mediocre starter.
91. Montravius Adams, DE/DT, Auburn
Andy Reid loves bolstering the trenches, and I imagine he'll do so after seeing his defense get gashed against the run all year.
122. Duke Riley, LB, LSU
Derrick Johnson is a 34-year-old coming off a torn Achilles that he suffered in December. It's highly unlikely that he'll be ready for the 2017 campaign, so the Chiefs need to find a new inside linebacker to play next to Ramik Wilson. [Reply]

We get a 5th year option on Ford right? So we really control him for two more seasons. [Reply]

I tend to agree.
Pros: Good pocket presence, athletic, strong runner, above average arm strength.
Cons: Never has had more than 193 completions in a season. Has never been asked to throw a lot at all as he comes from a Power Run offense and we happen to have some ??? at RB. Will need a lot of work on his accuracy if he will become anything in the NFL. [Reply]
Go through Campbell's mock on that sight, he has Watson falling into the low 50's, the Chiefs taking an undersized slot receiver in the first, and Corey Davis going two picks after us. [Reply]
