The position at the top of our 2024 draft board right now:

As for the thread, DT all the way. We've added talent at OT and DE. I'm all-in on finally adding more than a mid-rounder at DT to pair with Jones.

Would be fine with WR if at least 2 of Moore/Toney/Rice don't step up. Fine with TE if the perfect guy is there. And otherwise, pretty much just stacking up on talent at the right positions -- DL, CB, OL.

But Spags likes having a 'true' NT alongside Jones and DE's with inside versatility that he'll move alongside Jones to get after the passer in obvious passing situations.

I just don't think the organization is too gung-ho on the idea of having a real difference maker alongside Jones. If he turns out the be the best player on the board - oh sure, they might go that route. But I don't think they look at DT and think 'we need to address that position early' because they just don't put a ton of value on the 2-down NT they like to have playing alongside Jones for about half the game and figure they can get good interior production from guys like Omenihu, Karlaftis and/or Danna when they need more inside pass rush presence.

He becomes cuttable in 2025. They may just extend him anyway, he’s beloved by the team.

I do think 2024 is a sneaky year for the Chiefs to go Draft IOL on the 2nd day, though. Creed and Smith are going to be up for a contract in 2025. I’m not sure what Smith’s contract demands might be. But Creed is going to re-set the market at center and the Chiefs have moved on from every great center they’ve drafted during the Reid era (Rodney Hudson, Mitch Morse).

It'll be interesting to see what they do with Creed. Morse was a concussion machine and Hudson was with a strapped cap and Alex Smith as QB - who was a short timer, so who gives a ****. If Mahomes wants Creed, I think Mahomes gets Creed.

Creed isn't going anywhere.
