You guys are welcome to your opinions, I have mine. Mine is that there is a significant drop-off between Thomas and the next tier of WRs. My take is that when his routes match the rest, he's going to be special. He isn't going to be there in the late 20s or 32 so we shouldn't talk stupid shit.
My second take is that there is no way in hell a competent LT is there. I have 3 in this draft: Alt, Fautanu, and Fashanu. I don't see any making it past 14. Just calling a spade a spade there. A lot of chances I'd take at RT though. Again, everyone can have their opinions on it. If I'm stuck at 32, I might take a chance on Morgan or Suamataia and hope like hell one could make it at LT, but I have major doubts on both fronts. [Reply]

I love BTjr and think he’ll be the best WR to come from this class when it’s all said and done so I’m all for moving up for him…. [Reply]

"I'm not sold on a WR in the first round" is a HELL of a lot less out there of a take than "Brian Thomas Jr. is going to be better than Harrison, Nabers and Odunze..."

Of course, we do not know how this will fall or what Veach is thinking so anything can happen. Moving up to #16 is a lot to think about but, Vech does what Veach does best - DRAFT like a BOSS! :-) Coming sooner than later CHIEFS fans :-) [Reply]

We had to give up the 3rd, but you nailed the first two! [Reply]
We have no LT right now. Until that changes it has to be the first option at 32 unless something crazy lucky falls our way. The only times Pat can’t be Pat is when both tackles sucked. [Reply]
BTJ is the perfect combination of size and speed to satisfy every Chief's fans WR wishes. Why settle for Coleman (size) or Worthy (speed) when you can have both! I'm kind of surprised he's not considered the target yet by Chiefs kingdom. We have extra picks to spend, a history of moving up to target our guys, he's the closest thing to a true #1 and projected to be within reach. Today our WR core feels a bit empty, add BTJ tomorrow and we're complete: BTJ's our elite size/speed #1, Brown's our other elite speed deep threat #2, Rice is our tough over the middle YAC #3, Toney's our lighting strike gadget + KR/PR'er, Watson adds another deep threat and Moore had a nice route in the SB that one time. That squad's ready for a 3-peat!
1.xx - Trade Up for Joe Alt (we traded two seconds for Alex Smith, so what's two or three firsts to protect Mahomes for the next 15 years?)
2.64 - Troy Franklin/Malachi Corley
3.95 - Brenden Rice (I know this seems like a terrible pick, after taking a WR at 64, but I really think Brenden Rice is going to be better in the NFL than he was in college, and he has experience with a QB who gets out of the pocket like Mahomes. And, I just can't ignore the bloodline. I would love to draft him, and in 5 years have people talking about how he and his dad had the better first 5 years than Marvin Harrison & Marvin Harrison Jr. I also think two wide receivers in this draft, who hit, could set us up for a lot of financial flexibility, cause we are going to need it. And that way we can kick Skyy Moore to the curb.)
