A year from now, you have Rice under contract and a 36 year old Travis Kelce. And that's it.
If they go like Morgan at OT, they kind of need to go WR at #64. If they're flexible as to the TYPE of WR, there should be several good options. If they want a specific skillset, they're going to have to do it at #32.
I could see the chiefs waiting until the 4th or 5th to pick a wr. I could see a scenario where they trade their 2nd this year and a 3rd next year to move up for a LT if one of the top guys falls. And I could easily see them picking another position other than WR in the third. [Reply]

Anything is possible, but Veach has tended to bludgeon weak spots in the past with dramatic overhauls. So Brown would be the only addition that you could expect an improvement. And he's on a one year deal. [Reply]
Rice and Hollywood are wr1 and 2. and we have Kelce, I get it, he’s aging. We don’t have a competent LT. That’s clearly the biggest need. And this is a deep wr class. Rice, McMillan and Baker are typically around WR 20 in rankings and if that’s close, one of those might be available in the 4th. I also like Gould as a punt returner and slot wr in the 5th. And I haven’t checked out means or Cornelius Johnson but they are big and fast with some production. Long story short, we don’t have to have another wr to run it back. The group we have for 2024 will be better than 2023; already is. And if another person is better than a wr, take that guy. Plus the wr draft is DEEP. We can get talent in the 4th or maybe even later. We just need a little luck.

Hey, I like lots of these kids, and I wouldn't be surprised if they take two, but I would personally be surprised if they haven't taken one by pick #65.
It's one of those drafts where the meat of the draft fits our needs perfectly, and I can't see not taking advantage of that.
But, as I've said, every time I try to guess what Veach is going to do, I'm wrong, lol, so we'll see. I didn't think he valued CB's-and he took Mcduffie. I didn't think he'd take a RB in the first, and he took Clyde. (oops). I thought he might re-sign Sneed, but let Jones walk.
So anyone that feels like they've got the plan figured out in advance, I'd love to hear it and compare notes after.
I'd just say that for me, If a Guyton or Morgan is there at #32, I'm taking them, and I'm taking the best WR on the board at #64 unless that's just terrible value, but I don't think that's going to be the case. I doubt ALL of the guys rated in there are going to be gone.
and I'm probably not looking DT until possibly late.
But I have no idea what Veach will do. But it'll probably work out better than my plan. [Reply]
This guy has become one of my draft crushes after watching him quite a bit. I think that brotherhood from Miss St aka DT-U with Chris Jones would be something valuable as well.

He uses that two-handed swipe that Chris is so fucking good at and he has awesome burst. All DTs need some seasoning coming into the league but I think he could have an impact early on passing downs and work his way up. [Reply]
