We're probably not getting a quality NT in FA at this point. If you're on the Poona Ford hype train, he's about the only halfway-quality option out there yet.
There is some meat on the bone yet at ER. I could see Veach adding another guy there. I like Smoot but to each their own.
There's some meat at WR yet too, especially if it's just a 1-year deal type.
The Chiefs have options on the roster at RT in Niang and Tega-Wanogho. I'm not sure they will push this issue there. I'd feel more like they'd attack LT at the right price/range than I would them doing much at RT. It would take Wright being there. I don't see other options that tickle the balls quite right at 31 at RT.
The more things shake out in FA, the more enamored I become with NT as a dark horse candidate at 31. I'm not confident in it, but Mazi Smith is an athletic unicorn and Veach likes him those types, even if I don't think he's the best player right now.
Shit hit tab enter or something so Edit...
I'm not ruling WR out at 31 at any point. The right type of player that makes Reid's balls tingle, yeah I think that's always an option. I'd lean towards speed with Hyatt or Gibbs and not many others right there. I do think defense could take priority early on but I'm not convinced that edge is 100% the pick at 31. I'm leaning more towards edge at 63. [Reply]
It would depend on the individual player, honestly. I mean, are we talking Jalin Hyatt, or are we talking Josh Downs? Hyatt I'm taking, Downs I pass. And are we talking Ojulari, who I think is just not great fit for this defense or Hall, who I think does fit? And is the RT Wright? [Reply]
It really depends on what they think of Lucas Niang. I remember reading stories of Veach talking to him every day and he did start ahead of Wylie before he got hurt, so unfortunately I’m inclined to think they are fine with him starting at RT.
I’m going with the fellas here and sticking with an edge. And right now I’m trying not to think that Derrick Hall isn’t our pick. He just seems like such a natural fit for us [Reply]
Sorry but when I watch both Musgrave and Kincaid highlights, well I see Kelce looking in the mirror and seeing Kincaid's reflection. I would move up in the draft to either 24 (Jacksonville) or 25 (Giants) or 26 (Cowboys) to snag this player. It would look good for KC, Clark should be happy and yada yada! Do it Veach! :-)
To me, RT's can be had in later rounds. Let Veach do Veach things. [Reply]
Since we are not choosing players, strictly Position...
With our current roster, I would have to go Edge. There should be some good ones to choose from at the end of 1 from what we have seen so far in mocks.
I dont think we have a shot at a top 3-5 WR. BUT I think we have a realistic shot at a good one in round 2.
Round 3 is probably a DL or RT, Im thinking DL because we may have the RT on the roster already.
Round 4 we may see TE, should be some decent potential guys left. This may be where they just start going BPA. Also I feel like this is where Veach starts trading some picks to move up. I could see that happen in the 3rd round if there is someone he really wants but most likely round 4. [Reply]
Present roster depth of WR is 3, DE is 5, and DT is 2. IIRC we began with 5 WR's, 5 DE's and 4 DT's on the 53 man roster at the beginning of last season.
I think you would have to take into account of what moves are made in FA prior to the draft, and what players are drafted in front of you to really know what you would do.
I think OT is still in play in the 1st but am a pessimist that there will be any one left at 31 that will be any better than those left at 63. [Reply]

:-) Damn. That's an image I didn't need at Midnight on a Saturday. [Reply]
