Especially with LDT and Niang coming back next year. Rankin will help at OT, but he's not an anchor starter. I still say center in the first if we're dead set on line help, but as you and others have pointed out, the value just isn't there. [Reply]
Went into this draft under the assumption that the team believes that Rankin is their LT and Niang is their RT. Fisher can take a pay cut while rehabbing and we re-sign Remmers to be the swing tackle.
Bengals offered #38 and #69 for #32.
#38 - Terrace Marshall, WR, LSU
#64 - Josh Myers, OC, Ohio State
#69 - Jevon Holland, S, Oregon
#95 - Dayo Odeyingbo, DE, Vanderbilt
#131 - Daelin Hayes, DE, Notre Dame
#163 - Frank Darby, WR, Arizona State
#225 - Olaijah Griffin, CB, USC [Reply]

I don't know about taking a safety that high, but I like the rest. I've researched most of those players and have also taken them in mocks in similar spots. [Reply]

At worst, he'd be an instant upgrade over Sorenson on a rookie contract.
The Sorensen upgrade I'm into. That's why I picked Jacoby Stevens. [Reply]
I would love for us to be able to grab Rousseau in the end of the 1st, but that has no chance of happening. I think we can grab a top rated C in the 2nd so there's where I think we should absolutely look to strike-and save ourselves the Reiter price tag.

This should address the offensive line and more.

ah. Missed it. I wouldn't complain at all for sure. HOWEVER, I do think interior line value is better in 3-4th. But yeah, if he's your guy, take him. [Reply]
I ran one today. Goal was to trade down and focus on:
OL (one tackle, C)
WR (need help there)
DE (need more pop opposite Frank)
I think the Chiefs best bet to add affordable talent in FA is at WR and DE, so OL becomes my draft focus in this one.
After two trades downs (Using PFN) offered TO me, I end up turning #31 into #s 46, 76, and 209 and the board just lines up perfectly for me. Jalen Mayfield and Teven Jenkins and Terrance Marshall Jr all on the board/available at 46.
2.46 - I take Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan as I gaze longingly at Marshall and sob. He has higher upside than Jenkins, and has a reasonable floor of excellent RT with reason to believe he can be above-average at LT.
I get a few offers at 63 and can't pass up getting 67 and 134 from Houston. I trade down to 69 from there and upgrade #130 to #105.
2.69 - after a lot of internal debate, I take DE Dayo Odeyingbo. This is a reach according to the current PFN board, but I think it's about right for him by draft day, and he's an ideal fit for KC.
3.76 - I reach again, according to PFN, to get Quinn Meinerz, C, Wisconsin-Whitewater. His Senior Bowl performance was outstanding. His power and ability to handle power and speed just shine for me. Should give KC a BIG boost inside.
3.94 - Marquez Stevenson, WR, Houston. Hopefully, I've lined up a WR line Marvin Jones in free agency, making this a developmental guy who can give KC some touches as WR 3/4 early on, before becoming the guy at X in year 2 or 3.
4.104 - Tommy Tremble, TE, Notre Dame I make up for not doing a huge upgrade at WR2 by making TE2 a lot better.
5.134 - Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford Not sure what happened to his stock in his college season, but this is a long, versatile corner who fits well in KC. 5.162 - Janarius Robinson, DE, Florida State Another Spags' build guy, horribly coached in college with immense physical tools. 6.209 - Justin Hilliard, LB, Ohio State Speedy WLB type who has potential in coverage. Just seemed like BPA for KC here. 7.224 - Mustafa Johnson, DT, Colorado Quick interior rusher
I've got way more movement here than is probably realistic, but the way the top of the draft fell is ideal. If KC ends up sitting at 46 with two viable day 1 starting Ts on the board as well as one of Marshall, Bateman, and Toney, I'll feel pretty good about that position. [Reply]

I would be ecstatic with this. I also like Rashad Weaver at around that #69 spot. [Reply]
