There is going to be enormous value in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds.
Currently, the Chiefs don't have any picks beyond their 5th, so they have no ammo in order to move up even a few spots.
I think there will need to be someone at #32 that the Chiefs just find impossible to pass on for them to make the pick in that spot because otherwise, they're most likely trading back into the high 2nd and adding additional selections.

I’m almost certain our first 2 picks will be LB and CB.

With only 5 picks in the 2020 draft, they'll need to be legitimate Day 1 starters.
If he doesn't acquire more picks, there will be absolutely no room for Breeland Speaks, Dorian O'Daniel, Armani Watts type of selections.
Picking against the strength of the draft isn't a great strategy, IMO, especially for a team that has Repeat on their mind. [Reply]

100% with you Dane.
Try to get something for Sammy. Whether we do or don’t, trade down and pick up more picks.
I would seriously consider trading down twice if we can stay around the middle of rd 2. That’s how deep I think this draft is. [Reply]

No offense, but Simmons is way more athletic than Chancellor. Kam benefitted by having Earl roam the deep middle so he could play “going forward”. He was a tremendous hitter and intimidator.
You watch any of Clemson’s full game film from this past season and it is astonishing as to how involved Simmons is. He flashes everywhere. He truly affects the game and is so versatile that he can fit in any scheme and excels in any defensive assignment: coverage, tackling, run support, recognition and attacking/blitzing. I would argue he is the best defensive player in the draft (yes, above Chase Young). [Reply]

We're going to be in the Super Bowl convo for the next 5 years. We're the new Pats sans the cheating mother fuckers. [Reply]
They were talking about Buckner and getting Donald money, that it would be in the 20s etc
Breer brought up the chiefs and jones and that they were trying to get that done. Sounded like they didn’t figure there was any way Jones hit the market or was traded
Has anyone seen Jaylon Johnson tape? I love that kid. He looks like a goddamn stud.
I actually like 5 corners more than Byron Murphy and Rock Ya-Sin. Diggs, Terrell, Johnson, Hall, Dantzler.
Good Christ guys. Usually there’s a drop on perceived talent after the first 6-8 picks of the 2nd rd. That talent pool looks the same for the top 50 in general.
Trade down and let’s get a shit load of good players Veach [Reply]

Could be reading it wrong
If they can get Jones done sub-20 they for sure need to get it done.
If he’s up around 22 that’s tougher to swallow. CBA/TV contracts not withstanding [Reply]
Like I’ve stated before. Multiple legitimate reporters have said Jones will not be traded. They are just waiting for the new CBA to be approved [Reply]
