Truth.

Brandin Cooks will be this year's Tavon Austin and will probably go before 23 as his stock continues to rise and his game fits perfectly to where the NFL game is at today. I hope not but don't be surprised

Most likely place he goes to would be Jets or Balt if he goes top 20. But then again, Jets want to switch to a more run oriented attack while Balt also likes their WRs to be able to run block.

Won't be the Jets. They just shot their load for WR on Decker.

I would not mind giving up a pick next season for one this year.

This draft is loaded with talent and the Chiefs are in a prime position to trade down and stockpile picks. We absolutely have to trade down a couple times at least. We need to get a second round pick back and we need to add another third rounder. We have to hit on those picks. We can't have misses in the early rounds if we expect to make the playoffs next season.

Ideally yes but, I really wonder about how many teams will want to trade up with all this talent? It seems like you could stay where you are on the first couple of days and get good players. I have a feeling there won't be as many trades this year as there were the past couple of years in the first three rounds.

The best chance we have at getting a second round pick is trading a player imo. Flowers seems like the most likely candidate to me. He doesn't seem to fit anymore. He's not in the mold of the three tall CBs they signed last year and he didn't work out in the slot. He took a step back last year imo. If we got a 2nd and a 5th for him I would be cool with it.

Just have to hope a team falls in love with somebody and comes calling.

Im not going to be too harsh on Flowers because he did deal with a nagging injury but he is going to have to stay healthy and perform better this season.

Cooper and Parker are real keys to the defense. If they both can improve we can have four solid CB's. I'd be ok with signing Nate Allen to compete with Commings at FS.

I wish we had that 2nd round pick.
