It's finally Draft Day Eve, as I'd call it. We've pondered back and forth the possibilities that come with picking at #27 for months, and now its almost time to see who is under the Chiefs' tree in 2017.
So, a day ahead, call your shot below. Who you want them to pick, who you believe they will pick, or both. [Reply]

Most of the players fans here want will be available when the Chiefs pick. Fans will clamor like real life "it's happening" gifs.....excitement and fervor will build that the Chiefs are finally taking a first round QB.....and the commish will walk onto the stage and say
With the 27th selection of the 2017 NFL draft, th Chiefs select, fatty Mcnoname DT from Berkeley college of sensitivity and nonviolence.
New mullet cheering gifs will be created, fans will hate the pic. John Dorsey and Andy Reid will proclaim excitement for the chance to select this 6th round projected steal.
I take it you don't think the Chiefs have drafted particularly well. [Reply]

I could realistically see Mahomes or even Trubisky being the target (even moving up for either), but if he can't be had, then I could see repeat of last year. Moving back into the 2nd, and taking BPA ala Chris Jones. In that case, I think its Adoree Jackson.
Ordinarily I would say no way they trade up, but they've retained the most players from last year of any team in the NFL, and the need doesn't appear to equal the number of picks we have. [Reply]

Exactly. I am getting very concerned about all of the sudden smoke concerning Adoree' Jackson. :-) [Reply]
I am almost certain it will be a WTF pick. Something in the ballpark of a Dee Ford, I just don't get the feeling they are going QB early as much as I want them to.
I want them to take any of the three:
Mahomes
Watson
Webb
I'd be happy with:
Cunningham
Jarrad Davis
Dalvin Cook
They'll probably pick one of three:
Forrest Lamp
Malik McDowell
Adoree Jackson [Reply]
Dorsey can grab some faith tonight by doing what he needs to grabbing a QB in round 1. My own belief is running out keeping Smith another year. We could have kept Foles and gotten better on offense in my opinion but he was allowed to walk so we can keep Smith to run an offense loaded with talent that he fails to use.
If we don't make a move for a QB tonight that will be another fugg up on Dorsey's resume. Smith can't be here in 2018. He just can't. We have waited a life time for some hope at QB and he needs to do the right thing. If a QB is worth pick 27 why not at 15? Value shit is stupid in round one. Go get us one Dorsey. [Reply]

Yes, but when they won't allow themselves to hope for a QB because they know they can't handle the disappointment if we don't draft one they need to lose their man cards. [Reply]
