I’m starting to get the feeling we get a trade up for a receiver.
I actually believe they are comfortable with Wanya.. but still foresee signing a stopgap like Smith for him to continue to develop.
Veach has seen how hard it is to move up a few picks, and will have to be aggressive. If it will really is down to guys like Polk you might as well trade out and wait. [Reply]

I can get McMillan or Polk or whoever in round2 trading up.
Just take BPA at 32.
Depends on how the board falls. If Adonai Mitchell is there like in Bruglers mock then you gladly take him. If BTJ and Mitchell are gone then I think you trust your WR board for rd 2 bc at that point you’re clearly there.
I think Veach wants to move up for his guy, which will likely be a WR [Reply]

Andys usually respectful and such in interviews and I really didn't get that vibe when he was asked about Wanya earlier in the week. It was like he knows what he's got to do to put in the work, he's in Texas and he needs more urgency. That's about as close to he sucked it up in his opportunity as Andy will ever get. [Reply]
We gotta stop with this dumb discourse about the WRs and offense as a whole...last year didn't prove anything or show that it's ok.
We won that Super Bowl because the defense bailed out an anemic offense time and time and time again and they did *just enough* when the time mattered.
I'm done neglecting the weapons and expecting Pat to work miracles and make chicken salad out of chicken shit time and time again. [Reply]
How do we feel about the Adonai Mitchell diabetes reports? I understand it shouldn't be a huge game changer with today's technology and ability to monitor blood sugars accurately and consistently (Noah Gray has diabetes also- wasn't aware).
The reports of Adonai not taking a mature approach to his diabetes is somewhat alarming though no? [Reply]

So is Veach. Thus the signing of Hollywood Brown.
Also if BTJ and Mitchell are off the board the Chiefs may view the next 7-10 WR’s as the same value as 2nd rd talents and elect to take one in the 2nd rd while taking something else in the first.
Draft is really deep the position. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if they took WR in rd 2 again [Reply]

I think it's the classic case of a team wanting him to slide down the board so they float this out there in hopes that'll work...
I mean you literally hear nothing about it until the week before the draft...I'm just saying lol. [Reply]

I get the idea, but the risk if you're wrong about that player when you're giving up two years of 1sts plus a 2nd round pick to do it is so much higher.
You take that shot, you better be perfectly right and get a perennial Pro Bowl talent, because you're sacrificing a lot of depth to do it. [Reply]

They just won back to back Sb's doing it.
The first year had one of the best offenses in history, they lost JJSS and had a rough year of drops and miscommunications and wacky shit.
I'd guess they're banking on a regression to the mean there. [Reply]

It's just me but I don't see it as this incredible risk because you''d still have several mid to late round picks this year and next and Veach has shown he's really, really good at finding quality players in those rounds...
And I get the whole point about needing to be right but if we're all being honest...if the Chiefs got Nabers or Odunze, does anyone really believe either wouldn't be anything short of a superstar here? [Reply]
They can't get from 32 to the top 10 to get one of those guys feasible. So we're all mentally jerking off here.
But taking a WR at 32 probably leads to getting a lesser player at a different position in the 2nd vs taking the better prospect at (insert position) then taking a WR in the 2nd. [Reply]

I don't think most people are talking about spending two 1's and a 2 to go get anyone. If that's the case, you're correct in that you better be getting a stud. [Reply]

I'm teetering between they want to write off his shitty low effort play with it or its the reason he slides. I expected a little more to come out and pull the curtain back on what the narrative was supposed to be but I haven't seen anything else yet. [Reply]
