Rule: You can change your answer up until next Thursday!
This might be the toughest year yet for this. I can see so many different possibilities, especially considering that I think there's a solid chance the Chiefs trade up.
Edit: It's draft day and I'm changing my pick!
Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
There's way too much smoke about the Chiefs trading up and/or them targeting a LT. I'm going with a guy that I think could make it into our range, who also has the kind of upside that would have Veach itching to make a move to go get him. [Reply]
One thing I’m confident about is Veach wanting to trade up. He’s done it almost every year he’s been here. All these guys were trade ups: Breeland Speaks, Mecole Hardman, Nick Bolton, Trent McDuffie, Rashee Rice. He’s traded up in the 1st or 2nd rd all but 2020.
6 straight picks from 22-27 are all NFC teams and I think that’s the sweet spot.
BTJ will be gone so I have to think it’s for a tackle [Reply]
Veach will try to move up, the cost to get to 16 will be too steep, the teams from about 17-20 won't deal with KC and by 22 and beyond the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
So the Chiefs stay put at 32 and take Jordan Morgan, OT - Arizona. [Reply]

Very much agreed. Everyone talks about how deep this WR class is but downplays the fact that OT prospects that would go in the top 15 in other years might actually be available closer to the end of the first round. There's no way Veach allows another year of uncertainty when it's actually possible to fix the glaring problem at a low cost for five years. [Reply]
