... the word in the Chiefs building is that they would like to trade up for QB Patrick Mahomes or RB Christian McCaffrey in the first round. If this falls through, he said they like ILB Zach Cunningham a lot as well. [Reply]
I'm pretty much against drafting a RB in the first round not matter what, let alone trading up for one. Obviously a specific circumstance can change that but RB's relative to other positions are just too easy to find to trade up for one in the first. [Reply]

Quite frankly out of all the RB's I would like in this order.
1. Mixon - a 3 down back
2. Cook - a 3 down back
3 McAffery- situational RB
Since the league saw the success of TH a supposed problem child pan out so far look for Mixon to possibly go as high as late first rd, more like the 2nd and no further than the 3rd. Yes I get everyone's point about other needs and with RBs being deep this year why take one early BUT Mixon and Cook are special backs and especially Mixon. If we traded out of the 1st and took Mixon in the 2nd I am a happy camper and if we took him in the 1st at 27 I'm okay with it. Just saying. [Reply]
I've got a bad feeling the top 3 QBs are gone by pick 13. I think AZ is the firewall for Mahomes. I'm going to assume the asking price to move up from 27 to 10-12 is a 1st and 2nd this year and a 1st next year. If they really love Mahomes they should pull the trigger.
Now if he makes it past AZ the next hurdle is beating Houston's trade offer. Us having a second rounder and theirs being traded away could have a big impact on if we land Mahomes or not. [Reply]

Dink and dunk the defense to death, have a QB that can hit the 3rd and 6 pass for a 1st down every single time. The WCO is death by a 1000 cuts, not bombs away. You want accuracy,timing and consistency, not arm strength. Andy Reid gets scared whenever we turn the ball over. He is not a guy who wants a QB that throws for 400+yrds with 5tds and 2ints. He wants 250 yrds with 2-3tds and 0 ints.
Reid is about being safe and conservative ... let the other team lose the game for you
Mahomes is about attack,attack,attack until the defense just gives up.

While 250 yards is probably what he does want, the ability to throw for 400 to even 500 in a game needs to be in the QB's arsenal... just in case. [Reply]

We either need to get the QBOTF or a guy who could propel us to the Super Bowl this year.
I don't believe in Mahommes, Trubisky, or Kizer at all. [Reply]
