Rule: You can change your answer up until next Thursday!
This might be the toughest year yet for this. I can see so many different possibilities, especially considering that I think there's a solid chance the Chiefs trade up.
Edit: It's draft day and I'm changing my pick!
Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
There's way too much smoke about the Chiefs trading up and/or them targeting a LT. I'm going with a guy that I think could make it into our range, who also has the kind of upside that would have Veach itching to make a move to go get him. [Reply]
This is a totally different animal than calling FA signings, because teams play the draft close to the vest, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have sources. [Reply]

Would be hard to pass on Thomas. Some of the NFL guys have maybe broken my brain on him a bit though. Folks saying "He's the WR1 in any normal class..." maybe has me a little too high on him now. I just don't think Odunze is a generational prospect. If Thomas is clearly behind him, then I think he's probably a relatively normal 'very good' prospect that's probably the WR2 most years. That's still a top 10-12 guy who may see 16-18 due to the depth of the class.
I just haven't gotten a strong enough read on him to form a good opinion on him. Every time I think I'm comfortable with it, I change my mind.
If they are really high on him then I’d give up a 32, this years 4th, 2025 2nd and 2025 3rd (our late 3rd) if that’s what it took. I think LT is that important here.
I think Fataunu and BTJ are the only realistic trade up options. Am I missing anyone? Bowers will certainly be gone around 9-12, the tackles will come off the board leaving Fataunu for us.
If those 2 don’t work out I think we need to pivot to a small trade up in the 22-27 range of NFC teams depending on who is on the board. [Reply]
