If all of the premium talent which fits the Chiefs defensive needs is off the board, I'm okay with picking a TE in the 1st. I just think it's unlikely that all of the CBs, LBs, Edge and S guys who would be great first round pick ups are gone by 29. Even if a beast of an interior defensive line guy falls, I'd still be really tempted to take him over an offensive player.

Fucking defend the Chiefs O without this guy....?

Chiefs need defense and more defense.

I think Fant is more like Kelce, but Hockenson is the perfect compliment with his ability to block and his work in the short and intermediate areas.

I’d honestly be happy with either one and Irv Smith too.

Still hoping a defensive player is BPA though.

If defenders start flying off the board before 29, I expect a trade up anyways

I’d be more concerned about shoring up that leaky pass protection. Patriots exposed the O-line and Mahomes to a degree. Only 1 guy can catch the ball at a time. How about protecting the league MVP? TE would be a luxury pick. Go defense early or O-line if there is a day one starter identified.

Funny, if there was no clear 1st rounder available to add to the defense I'd be considering trading back into the 2nd instead, depending on what I got offered for the pick.

You stay away from my sweet baboo!!!

Never trade out of the first round.

Don't want to lose the 5th round option.

Never say never. There is always a price, but I agree in large part.

The 5th year option for Ford was what, 8-9m? It just doesn't seem that crucial to me, compared to the extra pick value you could pick up.

It just seems like a better option than either taking a 1st round talent at a position the Chiefs don't need or using a 1st round pick on someone with 2nd round talent.

I think it would be a great pick. If Kelce were to go down it really hurts the Offense as it stands.

Give me DK Metcalf.

They could have Chris Jones for 2 more years without having to give him a big deal, instead they traded out and picked up a 3rd rounder.

The 5th year option is huge in terms of keeping a player cheap, or using it as an arbitration buyout number etc.
