So you're just gonna have to keep cobbling things together best you can.
Keep cobbling, pay someone big, trade for someone or use this advantageous draft to get a guy with traits you can bet on. I'd take a hard look at Mims and Guyton if they are there. [Reply]

You'd probably have to get to 17or 18.
I dunno what that would cost. [Reply]

There are 4, maybe 5, maybe even 6 QBs that get taken in the first round.
At least five and as many as 8 WRs (Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Thomas, Mitchell, Worthy, McConkey, Franklin, Coleman).
4-5 CBs (McKinstry, DeJean, Arnold, Wiggins, Mitchell, Fakestraw, Lassiter)
At least 3 OTs (Fashanu, Alt, Mims)
Brock Bowers
That’s, at minimum, 18 players and up to 22 players and we haven’t even touched DE, DT, LB, S, or IOl.
And with guys like Fautanu and Suamaitaia and Guyton and Fuaga, there will be options at T. Or, if all those guys go, options at WR.
It’s a good draft and a deep draft, especially at the positions the Chiefs need most. It’s also a good and deep draft at the positions the chiefs need least (QB, CB).
@Ocity. This is where im coming from when i say in the 20s. Theres still several edge rushers, at least one DT and 1 IOL in the first round scrum every year. This is our absolute best chance imo to get the most for the least. Obviously you would have to wait and see how the board falls but I think it would look as favorable as it ever will. [Reply]
Spags gonna draft another corner in the mid rds :-)

You’ve probably already heard that it’s a great class for offensive linemen (it is utterly amazing) and wide receivers (it’s great, but probably a little gassed at this point). The third position that I think is both rich and deep? Slot cornerback.
The headliner is Michigan’s Mike Sainristil. A two-way player in college who initially landed at Michigan as a receiver, Sainristil switched to defense only in 2022 after the departure of Dax Hill, a first-rounder in that year’s draft selected by the Bengals. At 5-foot-9 and 182 pounds, Sainristil is pretty much limited to the slot on an NFL defense—but he’s quick as a wink, super explosive, and has the ball skills expected of an ex–wide receiver. Only one player ran a quicker short shuttle than Sainristil (4.01 seconds), and he looked smooth as butter in the gauntlet drill.
But even beyond Sainristil, there are some great prospects. Rutgers corner Max Melton, brother of Packers wide receiver Bo Melton, rose over the course of a strong Senior Bowl week and rose again in Indianapolis, where he ran a sub 4.4-second 40-yard dash and jumped over 40 inches. Kentucky’s Andru Phillips hasn’t started much and played primarily on the outside, but his traits translate better to the interior, where his toughness and explosiveness would be welcome. Both Florida State corners, Renardo Green and Jarrian Jones, might be better suited on the interior, as may be the case for Missouri’s Ennis Rakestraw Jr., currently viewed as a late first-round prospect.
If you’re a team with a need at slot corner and you walk out of this draft without a solution, I don’t know what you were looking at
Mike Sainristil, is the guy that I believe Jalen McMillian said he hated playing most of any CB, said dude was calling out their offensive plays before the snap. [Reply]
If Bowers somehow dropped to 17,18 range, we gotta somehow move up to grab. Getting Kelce's replacement for him to groom and play along side for the next 2-3 years is an awesome thought! [Reply]

If he fell past 12 or 13, I'd seriously start considering it then.... [Reply]

No way I'm trading that high for a tight end. [Reply]
