Guys I don’t think Biadasz will be there. Travis Swanson and Garrett Bradbury have shown us that some team is going to place an emphasis on them early. It also doesn’t seem like Andy’s style to draft an IOL in the first rd.
Right now it looks like there will be some quality corners available in late rd 1. I think that’s our play with a move up in the 2nd rd for an IOL. [Reply]

Well, I think Andy's style is to make sure he's got toys to play with on offense.
I think he's well aware, being an old O-Line coach, that this line is fucking up playtime with those toys.
Obviously, the mock draft simulators don't really know much, and it's too early to really accurately project. (I mostly use them to familiarize myself with players in what I think are need positions.)
BUT, seems like the top corners are all gone and Biadasz is usually there right until the end of the first round.
Look at it like this-would you take Will Shields in the first when it's a huge position of need? Because that's kind of what this kid is, but he's a Center, which in this offense is arguably more important. [Reply]
Matt Miller dropped his first mock today. It has the Chiefs getting Kristian Fulton at CB in round 1 and Biadasz in round 2 (drafting from the 28 spot).
That type of outcome would be ideal,
I think. Not sure it will be possible drafting 32nd, though. [Reply]

I'm in favor of a mauling OL for sure. I tend to think if you give Mahomes a strong OL and weapons like Tyreek/Kelce, he can outscore anyone in a shootout. Give him more than a split second to throw the ball behind a trash OL and he will be a major problem for NFL defenses. [Reply]

I like OL and CB for our 1st 2 picks and I really don't care which is first. What ever looks like the best value for the spot. I know you should draft BPA but I would also factor in position of need as well. [Reply]
Is Biadasz a true mauler, though? The only questions I’ve seen about him as a prospect have been in how strong he is at the POA. He’s not a Quentin Nelson-type mauler up there. [Reply]

And a better running game means easier play action opportunities for Mahomes with Tyreek/Kelce/whoever. It all ties together. Strong OL is never a bad thing. Needs to be a top priority moving forward. [Reply]

He was not good in the bowl game...he was showing serious poor leverage with the guys Oregon threw at him. He's not a space guy and he's never going to be so he needs to be basically great with power and leverage and well he wasn't.
If that bowl game is the player he is....3rd rounder. [Reply]
