As for TE, I don't really see the value in drafting a really raw guy in the 6th round, he will take 0 snaps off Harris this year if the Chiefs do that, why not just wait till next year when you have multiple 2nd round picks and take a quality guy, almost all the guys you mention have no chance in hell of being there in the 6th.

Whether we get a TE early or late, I believe we desperately need one as we all saw what happened when Kelce went off the field against the Titans. I don't think Reid and co want to risk that again. I may have said 6th round above, but I personally think we use one of the 3rd or 4th's on one of the best TE's left. They had formal interviews with Andrews, Thomas and a few others at the combine, so clearly they are interested.

You could argue that the Watkins acquisition and the Smith trade have addressed the issue from the Titans game.

As I said before, I'm fine with them taking a TE with a higher pick and the Chiefs need one, but considering the number of holes on the defense, I can't see them taking a guard and a TE high, so if a TE you love falls into the third, maybe you have to take a punt on a 6th or 7th round guard or just live with Ehinger/Witzman for another year. If Ragnow is there at 54 you run to the podium and live with Harris for another year.
