Hypothetical Expansion Draft

[JakeF]

Good Morning Football had a hypothetical expansion draft. You only get to protect 3 players on the Chiefs. Who do you protect?

Rookies cannot be selected

1. Peters
2. Kelce
3. Jones

[Hoover]

Peters, Kelce, Tyreek Hill.

Actually doesn't this work the other way? NFL teams have had to do the opposite and choose a list of players to make available.

So who do you make available?

My three are:

Alex Smith
Tamba Hali
Ron Parker

I'd go with Peters, Hill and Kelce as well. There's a strong case for Chris Jones though and obviously Eric Berry.

I would NOT protect Mahomes.

If we're talking about a fantasy draft, he wouldn't be picked in the first two rounds. He's an unproven rookie Qb. You can protect your stars and re-draft Mahomes much later.

Expansion drafts don't work like this. When the Texans entered the NFL, the rules were:

Each NFL team listed five players that the Texans could select and the Texans were required to claim either 30 players or $27.2 million in contracts (38% of the 2002 salary cap).

After the Texans selected a player from an existing team, that team could remove a player from their remaining list. If a second player was taken, the existing team could then pull back its remaining three players. However, teams were not required to remove players from the draftable list, resulting in three Jets and three Jaguars being drafted to the Texans. The Texans were prohibited from selecting a player from a team and trading the player back to that club. Existing teams were not allowed to put punters or kickers on the list nor any player from their 2001 roster who would have become an unrestricted free agent in 2002. They could not list players who went on injured reserve during the 2001 summer's training camp nor any player who would become a restricted free agent after the 2001 season. Their list could include only one player with more than 10 years' experience.
