I've forced kccrow to test-drive a mock where we sign LeVeon Bell. Kccrow is a damn idiot savant on these things, but I'm going to try it first since I do far less research these days than crow does.

Let's party.

1. The Chiefs are defeated in the AFC Championship game to the Patriots in a shootout. HC Andy Reid and GM Brett Veach are retained, as is DC Bob Sutton.

2. The Chiefs place OLB Dee Ford on the franchise tag.

3. The Chiefs extend WR Tyreek Hill for 4 years, $80m.

4. The Chiefs re-sign: WR De'Anthony Thomas to 2 years, $6m.

5. The Chiefs re-sign to minimal deals: RB Damien Williams, FB Anthony Sherman, TE Demetrius Harris, C Jordan Devey, DE Jarvis Jenkins

6. The Chiefs tender: WR Marcus Kemp, ILB Terrance Smith, S Jordan Lucas, K Harrison Butker

7. The Chiefs let walk: RB Spencer Ware, RB Charcandrick West, WR Chris Conley, OG Jeff Allen, C Mitch Morse, DE Allen Bailey, CB Steven Nelson, CB Orlando Scandrick, S Ron Parker

8. The Chiefs sign RB LeVeon Bell (Steelers) to 3 years, $38m; OT Jake Fisher (Bengals) to 1 year, $4m; DE Henry Anderson (Colts) for 2 years, $12m; CB Darqueze Dennard (Bengals) for 2 years, $10m.

9. The Chiefs are selecting 30th. They are not in the hunt for any compensatory picks.

10. They are in the hunt for as many as 4 compensatory picks in 2020 (Ware, Conley, Morse, Bailey, Nelson).

The Selections:

The Chiefs trade their Marcus Peters 2nd rounder and their 2020 3rd to move up to the 20th overall pick.
1. CB Byron Murphy, Washington

The Chiefs have Kendall Fuller as a solid #1 and Darqueze Dennard as a passable #2, but they swing for the fences to land a starter for the future in Murphy.

2. CB Kris Boyd, Texas

Oh yes, my friends. Oh yes. If the value is there, there's nothing keeping the Chiefs from double dipping.

3. WR Anthony Ratliff-Williams, North Carolina

Chiefs need to make a move to bolster some of the playmaking in the WR corps should Sammy miss his inevitable time in 2019.

5. DE Corbin Kaufusi, Brigham Young
6. CB Myles Bryant, Washington
7. DE Youhanna Ghaifan, Wyoming
