He might be available in the second.....could be a great gamble if he's fully recovered.
I'd absolutely be in on Pickens in the 2nd but I couldn't talk myself into him in the 1st.
For all the talk about what he 'could have' done, there's a real concern that what he actually did wasn't all that great even when he was healthy.
No doubt he has plenty of skills, but that's a prototype 2nd round prospect, IMO. Talent for the 1st, concerns regarding injury/productivity that put him in the 2nd. [Reply]
If the Chiefs are willing to part with #94 this year, they can turn #62 into about the #50.
I could definitely see them doing something like that to get a guy they want. Much more value in that, IMO, than packaging the same pick to move up in the 1st (where it only moves you up about to #26).
And puts you in cherry position to select one of the DBs or WRs who might slip into that range. [Reply]

YUP.
DB/WR in the 1st, trade up for EDGE, DB/WR with the 3rd from Poles. [Reply]

I'd be more happy still to see the right DE fall to us at 30 and then use one of those 3rds to move up from 62 and snag the right complement to said DE taken at 30.
A 3rd rounder moves us up 12-14 spots in the 2nd. It moves us up 4-6 spots in the first.
With just a little luck in the first, we can REALLY do some damage in the 2nd and put ourselves in awfully nice shape for a guy like Bonitto or someone who has the inverse traits/productivity matrix to the guy we take in the 1st.
I'd sure like to have that 3rd in my pocket still come round 2.
I could see 1st and 3rd w/ the 2nd going towards WR or DB, as Idaho suggested.
And I'd be fine with that as well. Like I said - just really would prefer keep that third rounder in our pocket into the 2nd...
I don’t even think we’ll get two in the first three rounds. We have Danna and Kaindoh. They’ll add a FA and a draft pick and then round it off with either Herring or Calhoun. That’s just my thought though. It’s not what I would do but I could see them doing it. [Reply]

Gotta hit the interior as well, though.
Maybe not two edge players, but I could see a pure edge and a hybrid sort of inside/outside player as well.
Like if they went Leal in the 1st, the 3rd might be a perfect spot for Bonitto or someone similar. You get your 'pure' edge in Bonitto for a LEO sort of setup. You put Ingram on the outside with Leal in the middle for Nascar situations, then in more strict run setups you can put Ingram and Leal on the edges w/ Saunders/Jones/Nnadi (gotta think the market will be pretty stale for him).

Oh yeah…I’m definitely think they grab a DT for sure. [Reply]
Oh and if we sign Ingram….I don’t think it’s going to be until later in the summer and closer to mini camps. Unless they choose to allow him to sit out camp to rest. [Reply]
