I will totally get behind whatever Veach decides, but my personal preference would be leaning towards a DE in round 1. Of course, we don't know how it shakes out and what have you, but that would be my preference. I think there are a couple of good options that seem like they might be there. [Reply]
I wouldn’t count on Damien Williams because the guy is constantly injured, will have missed a full season (which could be good or bad) and he’ll be 29 years old to start the season.
It’s pretty clear that Reid doesn’t trust Darwin Award Thompson, so they need to beef up the RB room. [Reply]

Khalil Herbert from VTech is my guy at RB on day 3. [Reply]

I personally want a WR but that would be secondary to getting a good DE if one falls.
This is exactly where I'm at as well. WR and DE are the priority but if there's no one of value left at those positions, I wouldn't be surprised to see a superstud CB or maybe even a CB/Safety go at #32 or of course, a trade back.
I like Breeland but there's no guarantee he'll return next season and while Ward has speed, which IMO is his biggest asset, he certainly has not progressed as one would expect.
I can't see the Chiefs shelling out in excess of $8 million per for Ward, unless he just blows up this post-season and in 2021 and even then, they might be better off letting him walk and taking the Comp Pick. [Reply]

CB is interesting to me, but if they think Baker recovers fine I think it could wait a bit.
DE or WR seems likely. If there were a TE they loved that fell that might make some sense.
I'm interested to see how the IOL spot works out as we go thru this process. [Reply]

I can't see a TE at #32. Kelce is only 31 while coming off his best season as a pro and the best season ever for a tight end.
He's going to play at a high level for at least the next 3 years, so taking a TE early makes zero sense when there are needs everywhere else on the roster. [Reply]
