Reid knows it’s possible the Chiefs could make their draft selections with everyone at their respective homes. Teams were informed by the league Thursday that coaches, executives and scouts might be allowed to return to their facility for the draft with only 10 people in each room and everyone distanced at least 6 feet apart. The New Orleans Saints have planned to hold their war room at a brewery. Reid said the Chiefs are considering having their war room at a local hotel with certain people in different rooms.
“We haven’t put our finger down on one thing as of yet,” Reid said. “We’re approaching it like we’re having a season. At the same time, we’re very sensitive to everything going on.”
Reid agreed with the league’s decision to not postpone the draft. Beyond interviewing prospects via Webex, Reid is confident that Veach and the team’s scouting department can properly evaluate the talent in this year’s draft class. And when asked whether the draft could uplift fans’ emotions during the pandemic, Reid believed one of the league’s biggest annual events can be a welcome distraction.

That's a strange attitude. Look at how crappy the Patriots offense went when they lost their center and another OL. Elite centers are huge difference makers in the current NFL.
Morse was made the highest paid center in the NFL...looks like there is more value there then you say.
RB at #32 is the sword Dane has chosen to die on currently. Don't try having a rational conversation with him about other positions being of equal, or greater value. [Reply]

Bullshit.
I'd be fine with a WR, CB, LB or RB at #32 overall although I've stated repeatedly that the Chiefs should trade back and add an extra pick or more. [Reply]

No, what's fucking STUPID is wasting their highest pick on a fucking center, when there are extremely talented players in this draft with MUCH higher upside and value than a center.
But I guess they're talking about offensive lineman at #32 over at Arrowhead Pride so you're better off parroting those morons than making a fool of yourself here. [Reply]
The more I analyze this, it seems like corner is going to be our first pick barring a coveted player falling to us.
Even if we signed a FA corner, we’d still need to get another one to replace Fuller. It seems like the sweet spot for drafting a corner will be from 25-50.

Dude, Okudah's going to Top Ten.
I'm not big on Gladney because he's only 5'10 while playing in a division with much taller WR's but if they take him, all good.
But I think it puts far less pressure on the front office and player if they trade back and grab a WR & CB in the second while picking up an additional 3rd, 4th or 5th rounder. [Reply]

It's all about who have behind Center/OL if it's a limp dick then yeah that's a good reason to be pissed, but if you have the player who single handedly makes a team a SB contender the whole situation changes.
We always joke that the team should put bubble wrap with a crew of armed guards to ensure PMII's safety in the offseason.
This falls in with that belief, it's the DGAF we don't have a normal situation with the sum of its parts the Chiefs must protect Patrick. If that means drafting a RB/IOL then fucking do it that's the logic behind.
Protect the MOTHERFUCKING FUTURE HALL OF FAME QB running the offense. [Reply]

Are you like 12 years old?
RB's have a short shelf life, that's why I picked the last one to come out in the 1st round.
But you probably didn't understand that..since you already think you can just grab OL in any round..it's all the same.
But while you might have adopted what you think is a brilliant draft philosophy ACTUAL NFL teams don't see it your way at all.
BTW, your constant, "Are you 12.." schtick is very childish. That's what psychologists call "projection". You are calling yourself out. [Reply]

I absolutely guaratee that you've never sat down with a sports agent, scout, or upper tier head coach but if you have, they were horrible at their jobs. [Reply]

I was just listing all the corners to show the depth of the position. 9 quality first rd caliber talents (some falling due to injury).
It’s hard to say what they’ll do, but I would love for us to use Seattle’s plan and trade down. I am an advocate of trading down twice from 32 if it means that we get 2 more picks in the top 110. [Reply]

I'd take one in the 3rd round and another in the 5th or 6th that could be used for a trade up.
Personally, I'd love to have two 2's and two 3's but it'll just depend on how the board develops. [Reply]

Reading comprehension. Read slower and the words might form in your head. [Reply]
