They have a glaring need at cornerback and the top cover men will be long gone by the time they are on the clock if they stay put at No. 54. They need to get into the range of picks 35-40 in order to secure a Day One starter at that position, and many around the league expect them to make that happen.

Yeah lots of people are bitching about having Mahomes and Hunt because we traded up last year...it’s put us is such a bad spot.
We should have stayed out of the draft day trade market, traded down and taken Reuben Foster and then CJ Beatherd in the third. [Reply]
I am all for Veach being agressive in this upcoming draft. I just would not like if he traded next year's first but other than that, just do what's needed to grab good players who will contribute early.
I feel like this defense is underrated going into next year. You draft a top CB and a DL and safety who can be decent next year and I think this defense could be a top 10 unit. [Reply]

Which passrusher? At what spot in the draft will he be available?
KC should end up picking in the back third of the first round next season, if things go at all as people expect. Let's pick 22 as a conservative estimate. To get to 10, you give up your 1, 2, and 3. No truly elite passrusher is going to last until 10, so who exactly are you drafting? [Reply]

Which, literally, nobody is advocating to do.
I’d have no problem moving both of next years 2s, though if it allows us to add impact guys to the 2018 roster.
This team could possibly add Josh Jackson, Isiah Oliver, Deshon Elliot/Nwusu...and then have 3 4ths and 3 late rounders to fill other spots with at C/G/DL.
That would help the defense immensely in trying to stop opposing passing attacks which is exactly what the 2018 (and beyond) Chiefs are going to need to win big games.
Think about the playoffs.
If we don’t field 3-4 GOOD CBs, teams like Houston, NE, Pittsburgh and LA are going to be impossible to stop unless we take the opportunity to make this a championship level secondary.
I’m not interested in another 2001-2005 Chiefs run.
I want a title.
I want Lamar Hunts trophy in the case at Arrowhead.

Rashan Gary the kid is in the Justin Houston mold, a top 10 to 15 pick due to his raw athletic ability. [Reply]

The problem isn't the round it's the talent evaluation...
I think I might be getting misunderstood here.
I’m not interested in trading a bunch of picks this year to move up.
I’m interested in moving the Peters pick to move up as well as the other 2 or 3 from next year to do so because of the value we would be getting for those picks this year as opposed to next. [Reply]
