They have a glaring need at cornerback and the top cover men will be long gone by the time they are on the clock if they stay put at No. 54. They need to get into the range of picks 35-40 in order to secure a Day One starter at that position, and many around the league expect them to make that happen.

But there are always teams wanting to add future picks in trade downs.
I’m sticking to my guns that I think KC moves up to 31-40 without packaging a bunch of picks from this year.

There likely won’t be value at 54 or even 44 for guys that will be there at 32-37. Think about it...5 QB’s are projected to go in the first rd and 2-3 RB’s. Defensive talent is going to slide down the board a bit.
If Veach trades up, he won’t half ass it. He’s going to be aggressive.
Any one of you 3 could be right. There is so much poker playing going on right now we just don't know. But if the strength of the draft is 2,3, and 4 I would think IF a coveted CB falls that Veach wants, most GMs will want this years 2,3, and 4's picks and not next years.:-) It is a very unique draft in that there is a lot of talent at most positions this year that doesn't happen very often and the majority of GMs know this and will play this card for sure.:-)
And don't think for a minute that Veach knowing the pocket strength of this draft are the mid-rounds that he just might trade back from 54 and acquire a few more picks IF a coveted player has been taken and a King's Ransom of picks comes calling because some other GM sees his coveted player he wants now.

Next year's draft is loaded with DL and Edge guys to go for. I'd take said draft capital to for the cluster of talent and it's passrushers( in this case) who can be properly utilized.
trust the scouting department of course if other gems are available if the value is there. [Reply]

The Justin Houston situation?
What did we do before that draft to load picks to get Houston? [Reply]
