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]
Lots of smoke out there. Chiefs are going to move up for Brian Thomas Jr. at WR. They'll go with either Smith, Taylor or Morris at LT. That's my shot and I'm sticking to it. LFG! :-) [Reply]

Yup. Are Veach and Andy willing to roll the dice by waiting and addressing the LT need later in the draft??? I think you go get a guy that is plug and play to protect the franchise - Mr. Patrick Mahomes. [Reply]
I have a feeling nobody is going to be willing to trade with Veach unless he allows himself to get absolutely fleeced, so I hope he doesn't do that. Unless of course they have someone on their board they have decided is their next must have guy, I hope they just stand pat at 32. I do have a feeling they have their eye on someone huge (I still have a nostalgic soft spot hoping they want to pull off a blockbuster and land Alt) so it'll be really interesting to see if anyone is willing to bite.
I've been thinking for months it will be Jordan Morgan at 32, so I'll stick with that. Seems like a very safe pick, his pass blocking last year was tremendous, just 2 sacks allowed in 477 drop backs and 37 starts at LT, he's NFL ready. If we can't make a huge move, I think he's the guy. [Reply]

No doubt, I don't want to see a FAU pick again when they had plenty of depth in that position last year... I understand you're in KC and you feel the need to make a pick. Just trade back this year if you find yourself in the a similar situation. [Reply]

Thought you were pretty dug in on McConkey. Your logic for why they'd pick him was quite sound. But I get it. All the smoke about Veach wanting to go after an OT is hard to ignore. [Reply]
