Y'all want to ride with Smith for another year or give Morris a chance? Because there's probably several good to decent prospects who likely will be there when the Chiefs pick. [Reply]
I can't understate how enamored I am with trading up for Fautanu if he gets to 16. If somehow a team prefers him to Fashanu and he falls to that range, I'm all in. It would definitely take a 2nd plus, unless we can get the pick from Atlanta at 43. [Reply]

With guards making $20 million now, I'd say a guy like Morgan, who's worst case scenario is a premium guard, IMO, is worthwhile if available at 32. Maybe his arms are too short for LT but hey, Mitch Schwartz had almost identical length and he was an All Pro caliber RT. If that's who Morgan is, you're more than happy with that pick.
If a great player falls because he MIGHT not be a LT, I think you have to keep him high on your board when the odds are pretty good that he's going to be a very good RT or G. [Reply]
Thanks for the list, Crow. I still like mims the best around 20 if we can trade up for him. Mims is probably the 5th or 6th tackle off the board and that should give us the opportunity to trade up for him. If he didn’t have injury problems, he’s a top 5 pick most years with more experience. We just don’t get the opportunity to draft athletes like that with where we pick. It’s risky. I get it but if he pans out, he’s our LT for a decade. I’d try and draft Mims and let him compete with a veteran. Maybe push Morris inside if he can’t win the LT competition. Mims, Morris and a veteran could compete for the LT job.

Mims is 100% the guy that shoots up into the Top 15 on draft day. [Reply]

If he somehow fell to 32 I'd be screaming for the Chiefs to take him [Reply]
If we move Sneed for the rumored 3rd, I think we spend that 3rd moving up for Thomas Jr or an OT, have had a gut feeling about Guyton for awhile now. [Reply]
