The Chiefs will have plenty of options at the back end of the first round, but if Guyton is available, I like the idea of drafting him to develop him as a good depth player if they need him and a potential starter in 2025 and beyond. Guyton is a smooth mover and a very competitive player but needs time to become a more fundamentally sound blocker.
Guyton and Franklin just 100% feel like Chiefs to me. I would prefer TE Sanders with #64 in that scenario. I'm on board with an early RB! Brooks, Benson, Wright, Corum, Lloyd and others are all interesting, Benson would be really exciting! [Reply]

I think I would have preferred wright for his fit in the current roster. I also would have preferred a red zone target. We move the ball well, we really need some help converting those opportunities to seven instead of three [Reply]

So sign D Smith for another year and let Guyton develop, I don't see any problem there. You're not going to get a 1st year starter at LT with pick #32. [Reply]
I like Andru Phillips for this scheme, had him in a mock, but don't 2nd round like him. I'd think about it in the 3rd.
I'm having a hard time thinking there isn't a good chance Benson is the top back taken because of his size/speed combo. He's a 2nd rounder IMO. [Reply]

Some feel he can make the switch to LT. I don't know... He moves pretty well but then you're taking away what he does know. Same situation with Mims. Just two very raw guys with a lot of athletic ability. I don't know if either really deserves to go in the first round but teams take chances on traits more often than they don't. See Travon Walker over Aidan Hutchinson. [Reply]

I think J. Taylor can play LT, Guyton is super athletic but likely a 1-yr project. Between Guyton and Morris, maybe you have two future starters. Bring back D. Smith and you have a solid OL. [Reply]

Exactly why we shouldn't be taking one at 32 then...you can find a player at that spot that can be of immediate impact and probably provide more impact too. [Reply]
My hope is we bring Donovan Smith back in on a one year deal so we can have complete flexibility in the first round.
I do think we should be taking a tackle in the first two rounds to compete with Morris next season. Perhaps someone like Blake Fisher or Patrick Paul. [Reply]
