That’s a hell of a gamble. 29+50 is enough for the 15th pick.
Last time a team did that was the 2018 draft when the Saints traded up to 14 from 27 to give the Packers the 27th, 147th and future 1st for Marcus Davenport.
Btw Davenport has 21 career sacks in 4 years. Less than 7 a year. Yikes [Reply]

I'm good with that, but how about #29 + #62 + 7th = #16 from the Eagles.
#16 WR William or London
#30 DT Wyatt or Leal
#50 DE Ebiketie, Thomas, Enagbare, Williams, or Bonito [Reply]
Man the more I have been thinking about it the more I have talked myself into Ojabo at 30. He won't be helping us immediately but late season when we are trying to push through the muck in the AFC and this DL needs a spark guess who comes walking through the double-wide doors? Mother ****ing David Ojabo the king of Scottland himself! This guy has literally only been playing football for 5 years and already convinced people he's a top 15 overall pick. Think about that. The talent is absolutely there and it hasn't even been properly untapped yet. This guy is a sleeping giant full of possibilities. Is it a gamble? Sure. But is it also a calculated risk that could push this team over the top? **** YES! He was always going to be primarily used as a 3rd down rusher in his first year anyways and would need a year to develop. This will be that year.
If I'm Veach I am licking my lips right now. The gods have blessed us with a buffalo amidst a famine and there's no reason to scoff at it. Gut it and grub down, Chiefs need to eat. Sign Key, sign Ingram, add Ojabo in late, and watch the DL flourish... and you'd still have the other first to trade up with and get Wyatt or a WR like Olave/Burks too. [Reply]

I think i'd marginally prefer to go up for a Wilson or Willliams than a DE. Not sure it's rational or sensible, but i feel you ciuld still build out the DL and secondary behind that. It's partly that i feel the drop off from Williams is more substantial than from say an Ojabo or Karlaftis.
If we went up for Jermaine Johnson i could live with it as it feels like he could make an immediate impact. I'm just far less convinced by the WR class' true depth. I also have a weird feeling one of the R1 DEs might fall to us at 30. [Reply]
