Half of these assumptions will be wrong by the end of the day, I'm sure, but its the middle of the night and I don't care.
Assumptions:
1. After the season, the Chiefs extend/re-sign WR Sammie Watkins 3 years, $35m; DT Mike Pennel 2 years, $10m.
2. The Chiefs keep DT Chris Jones on the franchise tag.
3. The Chiefs do not pay QB Patrick Mahomes this offseason.
4. The Chiefs cut: OG Laurent Duvarney-Tardif, OG Ryan Hunter, P Dustin Colquitt.
5. The Chiefs trade DE Breeland Speaks for a 2021 conditional pick.
6. The Chiefs re-sign to minimal deals: FB Anthony Sherman, TE Blake Bell, OG/C Stefan Wisniewski, ILB Reggie Ragland, S Jordan Lucas
7. The Chiefs let walk: QB Matt Moore, RB LeSean McCoy, RB Spencer Ware, WR Demarcus Robinson, DE Terrell Suggs, LB Darron Lee, CB Morris Claiborne, CB Alex Brown, CB Keith Reaser
8. The Chiefs sign: RB Ameer Abdullah (Vikings), OT Cedric Ogbuehi (Jacksonville), OLB Nigel Bradham (Eagles), CB Aaron Colvin (Redskins).
9. The Chiefs are selecting 32nd. They receive no compensatory picks.
The Selections:
1. CB Jeff Gladney, TCU -- excellent man corner
2 (Ford). CB Jaylon Johnson, Utah -- a slot-flexible corner with some development ahead of him
3. DE Darrell Taylor, Tennessee -- a Kpassagnon-esque athlete with incredible abilities and zero polish
4. OL Solomon Kindley, Georgia -- a massive athlete with power/athleticism and starter-upside
5. WR Aaron Parker, Rhode Island -- flyer on a WR that led the Combine at the three-cone and 20-yard shuffle
