I'm not sure if Ragland is a 3 down player. If not, there will be better players available at #28.

If you keep a dominant NT in front of him, he should be able to stay largely unmolested in the defensive backfield. If there's less static around him, he has the athleticism to play zone effectively, IMO.

Now if he's asked to do a lot of man coverage, that's probably a mistake. But with Sutton's safety fetish, WTF would he be using Ragland heavily in coverage for?

Though if they put him through individual drills and he can't move his hips well enough, that's cause not to draft him. I agree - you don't take a 2-down ILB in the first round. That said, at that point it will be because of what he is unable to do - not because of March, Wilson and Alexander.

Like I said, if they pass on him because of the JAGs, that's a problem. If they pass on him because they don't think he can do what they need him to do, I'll live with that.

We won't likely ever know the answer to that question but after watching him run a 4.74 this past weekend, I think there are better alternatives with the #28 pick.

I'd take someone else there, take Jaylon late and hope he works out

I wouldn't spend anything other than a 7th round pick for Smith.

Since we're low on the list.....I'd spend a 4th.

His medicals were so bad that it'll likely be two years before he can even think about playing again and there's no guarantee he'll be the same player.

The Chiefs should be able to get a contributor in the 4th this year.

I feel really bad for the kid but I'd be shocked if he ever makes a full recovery.

Hopefully, everyone is wrong.

Have to wait and see how the April evaluation goes, but if 8ts that bad I wouldn't spend higher than a 4th, probably 5th

How would you guys feel about nkemdiche if he fell?

I saw a mock today in which he fell past the Chiefs and landed one pick after in AZ.

I'd trust the pick if Dorsey made it because obviously, he did his homework on Peters, which turned out beautifully.

But man, this guy just smells.

Peters is a hot head/emotional.

This guy got himself all ****ed up and who knows what really happened but then he throws out the possible number one pick and teammate name out at the combine and say he was there too.

This team preaches family. You don't do that to family.

I know.

But the dudes a monster. If there's a coaching staff and locker room I'd trust him in, it'd be here

Agreed. That really hit a bad note for me.

I mean, come on, man! Don't throw your teammate under the bus.

Right. If Dorsey clears him, then I'm good with it but I'd really be shocked if he made it past Dorsey's bullshit meter.

There's going to be an immediate contributor at 28 and I'm sure Dorsey will get the right guy.
