1. Evaluators are anxious to see #Alabama safety Deionte Thompson at today's pro day. There were concerns about his weight coming out of the combine (195 vs. 180ish in season). His speed/weight has left his overall report up in limbo for some teams.
New story. The more I think about the draft, the more I believe the Chiefs need to pick a TE to pair with Travis Kelce. On the argument it’s Brett Veach’s obligation. https://t.co/dUQI8hqe2m

If offense is BPA then you go offense. If you reach for players then you end up with a sub par roster.
Strengthening a strength ensures it stays strong. That's smarter than wasting picks on guys who may not make your roster stronger, simply for the sake of drafting for need.
No one thought we needed Dee Ford when we had Houston and Hali. Turned into a pretty good get. [Reply]
In CBS.com's most recent 2 round mock, they have us trading up to pick an edge rusher...
1st Round
Pick 21
CHIEFS
Trade with Seahawks
Brian Burns, EDGE, Florida State
The Chiefs have a few extra picks and a wide open Super Bowl window. After the departures of Dee Ford and Justin Houston, they need more talent on the edge. With Brian Burns, they'd get a pass rusher with All-Pro talent.
2nd Round
Pick 29
CHIEFS
Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia
The Chiefs grabbed Tyrann Mathieu in free agency, but Thornhill's tremendous range would allow the former LSU star to roam freely at the intermediate levels of the field.
Pick 31
CHIEFS
Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State
Not many coaches love the shallow cross more than Andy Reid, and Campbell ran a ton of those at Ohio State in 2018. He has elite speed and can flip on the jets after the catch to create chunk plays. [Reply]
