They drafted 3 OL last year and kept a UDFA I don't think they can realistically take another interior lineman in round 1.

Wow. Busy morning and look what happens.

To me, it doesn't really change the Chiefs options, which are either (1) signing Cam Robinson or (2) signing a couple of options (i.e. something like signing Humphries and trying to resurrect Wills' career, or signing Humphries AND Jaylon Moore).

I've leaned more towards them doing option 2 when thinking about this before the trade, but it does seem to make (1) more likely.

Keep Bolton or use that money on a Cooper Kupp for a year or 2? I'm leaning towards the first option

Nah if they go WR it's gotta be another draft pick.

Remeber when they signed Taylor...."as NFL Network's James Palmer reported, Taylor will likely shift from RT to LT in Kansas City, filling the spot previously occupied by Brown"

I guess that idea is dead...otherwise it would have made more sense to move him to LT and Morris to RT than Thuney at LT.

Youth. Production. Explosiveness. That’s what they need to add in FA.

Would bring back Hollywood first which they have indicated. I’d bring back Juju as the Rice replacement who knows the system but only for a short time in a limited role while Rice is out.

They brought in Tyquan Thornton who I think can be a nice depth piece with elite speed. I’d also add Christian Kirk who was just cut. Should be a nice 1 year rebuild deal.
Then I’d add a guy in the draft.

We can’t go into this year with bad depth anymore. Justin Watson, Justyn Ross, Skyy Moore, washed Hopkins.

They need juice and depth at receiver and RB.

Why are we getting a 2026 4th round pick for Thuney....are we going to trade that pick to move up this year or is it because he is getting up there in years?

Mecca 03-05-2025 12:11 PM

One of the things that isn't talked about much is if you are gonna pick at the end of the 1st the real sweet spot position there is WR.

Chiefs are not going to spend any money on the WR position until they have to make a decision on Rice and/or Worthy beside the 7-10m type of deals they pay guys like Brown. The last thing the Chiefs need is a broken down expensive old WR.

Also. It is caleb williams. Good chance that pick will be top 5 of the round.

Yea I doubt it, they have an actual offensive coach now. Writing these guys off after 5 minutes isn't exactly a great idea.

Bears don't have a 4th this year, and they are also taking on his contract. That's just what he's worth. If it were a 4th this year I'd be ****ing thrilled, but we have to wait. its not a bad situation.

Agree. I think I'd eye a WR as a way to eventually move on from Kelce. It also is going to save you some FA money. If the right guy is there I'm all for it, but I'm not taking a WR over a DT like Grant or Nolan. I also don't know if I'm taking a WR over a CB who I think fits perfectly on the defense, but I probably think CB is a far greater want than most people.

Just almost every year if you are picking between 28-32 WR is going to have a ton of value, not to mention the position has big time money value. I'm to the point of thinking we should be drafting a lot of WRs.

Mosbonian 03-05-2025 12:18 PM

This week is seeing a lot of moves....a lot of cap space being cleared by practically everyone. Christian Kirk, Tyler Lockett today....and I am betting that it is not the last of what we will see even today.
