Yea, I don’t think Nelson is going anywhere, but I’d be interested in trading that 2019 2nd from the Rams depending on who’s available at the top of the 3rd. [Reply]
I don’t know where the elevated draft projections for Shepherd are coming from. He played inferior competition. When I watch his tape I see an “active” player, but not a dominant one. His 4th/5th round projections are appropriate.
If the Chiefs want an impact DL player from this draft, the wheelhouse might be the late 1st to mid 2nd round.
Chubb, Vea, Payne and Bryan will likely be out of range.
Guys I think will be in range at 54?
Phillips, Green, Settle, Nnadi, Hurst (injury drop)
Bryan and Green are my two favourites. I think Settle is dropping because of his testing. [Reply]

Trading him makes no sense from a numbers perspective. You’d have 2 corners currently that can even play
I don’t have much trust in the guy playing outside full time. We know Veach has tried to trade him, so it seems like he’s viewed as expendable.
Corner was by far our worst position group last year. I think a complete overhaul is about to take place including a FA signing and high draft pick. [Reply]
LSU edge rusher Arden Key said teams at the NFL Combine have been "blown away" when he explained the reasons for his leave of absence from the Tigers after last season.
We honestly aren't sure if this implies a good reaction or a bad one. But this is what Key's father had to say. "I told him to be truthful and let them know he made a mistake," Arden Key Sr. said. "He’s a person that, like any other kid entering the draft, he’s proven he’s a high-character guy who’s made a few mistakes along the way. That’s the phase he went through, and he learned from it. He’s put that behind him." Per the Baton Rouge Advocate, Key sought out treatment last spring for an undisclosed off-the-field matter. No one has revealed the issue publicly, leading to rampant speculation. Key underwent surgery last May to repair a partially torn labrum in his rotator cuff. It was revealed in the past few days that he played through a broken pinkie finger and a sprained MCL last year, which at least answers some questions about his toughness.

I would imagine they plan on fuller playing outside full time though
If they wanna burn the corner group down and start over that’s cool, but it’s gonna be tough with what thyou I’ve got pick wise [Reply]
