Yup, was going to post this. But it's already been said several times.

Some people might really be flipping out if we take an OT early and an IOL in the upper mid-rounds.

Biggest need as it stands right now is WR but not sure there’s going to be great value there when we pick, so go with BPA.
[Reply]

Agreed. That could be a WR, OT, DE, TE.

I have said this before, but if Johnston or Smith-Njigba fall anywhere near 20, I hope we make a move to get one of them.

If we pick at 31 (really 32) and Flowers is there, then maybe we take him. However, if we don't move up or down, there should be some athletic defensive linemen available.

And if we moved up to snag Will McDonald instead of a receiver, I would only be upset if Johnston or Smith-Njigba was available. McDonald looked great at the combine.

The biggest need vs draft order preferences may be two entirely different animals.

In terms of biggest NEEDS, here's my take:

1. DT. Derrick Nnadi was certifiably horrendous and there's nothing of substance there outside of him. Wharton is a lackluster situational player as well and Shelton is a shell of his former self at this stage. Not to mention, every DT on the roster is in the final year of their deal. We need help next to Jones.

2. Pass-Catching RB/Short-area Weapon. McKinnon was absolute nails last year with over 500 yards receiving and 9 TDs. If he's not brought back, that level of production isn't easily replaced and the two guys that are projected to do it best in the draft are 1st and 2nd round prospects, though Evan Hall is intriguing later on. For all of the talk about WR, this guy was your #4 most productive receiving option behind Kelce, JuJu, and MVS.

3. OT. I would have it higher on the list if not for two major things... Tega Wanogho was a highly touted prospect coming out but came with major dedication questions. I think dedication may have been answered and we just might be sleeping on a late bloomer al a Jason Peters with this kid. Not only that, KC signed Taylor to play "either" spot and Niang was a 3rd round pick that played pretty well when he was available. I'm more inclined to think Veach just brings in more competition and depth, which is definitely a need at this point. If he goes OT early, I think it's a big splash to land a franchise LT higher in the round.

4. WR. Depth is a definite concern, whereas penciled-in starters aren't necessarily the greatest need. You definitely need to hedge your bets against Toney's injury potential and Moore's ability to ascend but where that price point is is up for debate. I think a reasonably-priced veteran and another rookie in the pipe is the way to go.

5. DE. There is a severe lack of quality depth behind Karlaftis and Omenihu, which leaves little wiggle room for injury. I do trust Veach to add another aging veteran to the group as he's done in each season to date but it would be nice to get a player for the future following Omenihu and as an upgrade to Danna as a situational pass rusher when you kick Omenihu down inside. You'd also like to find a depth piece that can function in a similar role to Omenihu.

Protect Mahomes at all costs!! LT is our biggest need. I trust in Veach, but it’s a bit worrisome!

Im going to forego saying wide receiver and say pass catcher.

We need to add more talent at either wr or te.

Need more DT help

Our pass rush was pretty damn good and we upgraded from Franks spot. We have a perceived pressing need at DT, but Karlaftis, Omenihu and Wharton all move around the DL so I wouldn’t say a pass rusher would be the biggest NEED. I’d absolutely say that it’s a place you’d likely get the best ROI on a big investment due to the coaching situation coupled with the existing pass rush talent in house.

My dream scenario in this draft is Carter dropping out of the top 10 and Veach swinging for the fences to move up to get him shortly after.

That would make our DL in the conversation for one of, if not THE best in conference.

Karlaftis/Danna
Jones/Shelton
Carter/Wharton/Nnadi
Omenihu/cheap vet like Dunlap/Suggs **cmon Houston, come home for one last ride and get a ring.** -opens arms-

Next you’d have to consider OT. I still think Niang will turn it around and start to show promise this year…but in no way can you wager a championship season on that hope. Tego showed some good ability out there, but I’m not sold on him. I like Taylor more the more I watch him work. This kid is a perfect fit and will definitely help our screen game come alive again. That’s the biggest thing. He moves so well (like Fisher) it allows Andy to utilize more of the playbook. I’m not at all sold that they plan on him playing LT. If an athletic, starting quality LT makes it to the 20s, Veach is moving up just like when he went up to get McDuffie.

I’d have no problem with a move like that, either. If we can lock up the offensive tackle spots with young and athletic players, that will help this offense open up a lot more ways to attack defenses….but I’m also totally ok taking a kid in the 2nd or 3rd, either. They could probably line up tomorrow with an above average offensive line, so adding a stud LT would absolutely bring them into conversation for best OL unit in the nfl. Protecting Mahomes with additional resources will pay dividends.

The third position group you have to talk about is IMO the one that requires the most attention which is WR. You simply can’t DEPEND on any of them. Toney has missed about half his career -going back to Florida- to injury. Skyy Moore is a small school kid still acclimating, but hasn’t “gone out and taken a grown man’s job”. He will get tons of opportunities to do so, going forward but him playing great can’t be counted on. MVS is completely inconsistent. We don’t even know if Watson will be back or not.

I’d be a fan of picking a guy like Flowers at 31 unless we have an opportunity to make a strategic trade up to get a blue chip guy.

I have felt since the end of the regular season that Clark wants a splash with the draft in KC. I will be surprised if we don't make a pretty major trade up in the first. To get the most splash, taking a WR. Both lines may be more important in a lot of ways but a WR will get the headlines.
