I’ll be in KC draft weekend. Easter vacation with the family and meeting up with some family friends. I’ll be trying to follow the draft as best I can over the weekend, and am debating whether to attend the day 3 draft party with my son....

With the uncertainty around Tyreek Hill and rumblings of a possible Frank Clark trade, I’ve never been so uncertain as to the teams direction in this draft. Everyone is aware of the needs - how the Chiefs prioritize will be interesting. I believe the Chiefs will not sit on all the cap space they have, but will wait until after the draft to make moves. The 2020 2nd rounder from SF can be an enticing piece in a trade negotiation for an elite corner or Edge player.

Here goes:

TRADE: The board does not fall as the Chiefs want, but the Giants come calling to get one of Jones/Haskins as their QBOTF.
Chiefs trade (1) #29 to NYG for (2) #37, (4)#108, and a 2020 4th from the Giants

(2) #37 - Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia
- Thornhill is a phenomenal athlete who has the versatility to play single-high, but the physicality to succeed playing near the LOS. The courting of Earl Thomas showed the Chiefs are serious about remaking their secondary.

(2) #61 - Jaylon Ferguson, EDGE, Louisiana Tech
- While Ferguson has been knocked for poor agility drill times, there is no denying he has impressive tape and production. A strong speed to power player, Ferguson is excellent with his hands and shows a lot of effort and hustle in his play.

(2) #63 - Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
- The Chiefs need to add depth behind Travis Kelce and let alone add another pass catching threat to the offense. Sternberger is arguably the best route runner in this class, shows dependable hands, and is dangerous after the catch using his speed.

(3) #92 - Sean Bunting, Corner, Central Michigan
- Bunting has been riding as the draft process has moved along. Playing at a smaller school and deceiving stats because he is rarely targeted called for closer looks at his tape, and this guy is just a plain baller. Excellent cover skills with ballhawking ability, Bunting has the potential to be a versatile, shut-down corner. A little light weight-wise, Bunting has shown a willingness to tackle in the run game.

(4) #108 - Lamont Gaillard, Center, Georgia
- Gaillard is a great scheme fit for the Chiefs zone run scheme. Gaillard is excellent in space executing 2nd level blocks with precision. Gaillard is a gritty pass protector who mirrors effectively. He is an intelligent pivot that is praised by coaches and teammates alike.

(5) #167 - Sione Takitaki, OLB, BYU
- Takitaki is a high energy player who is an excellent blitzer and likely fits best as a SAM in a 4-3. While Takitaki is a bit of a coverage liability, he does play run gap responsibility well and can be a unique pressure player.

(6) #201 - Dexter Williams, RB, Notre Dame
- A great one-cut zone runner, Williams would be a great fit for the Chiefs offense as he can run both inside/outside zone and be an asset in the passing game. Williams flashes great acceleration in the open field and has homerun ability.

(6) #214 - Jakobi Meyers, WR, North Carolina State
- Meyers just has a knack of moving the sticks. He has excellent hands, works smartly out of the slot, but also has the size/strength to play outside and win on precision route running and an understanding of defensive coverage.

(7) #216 - Chris Slayton, DL, Syracuse
- Slayton is a tough run defender with a bit of pass rush upside. He best fits as a 3 tech who probably contributes as a rotational player early in his career.
