One of the more irritating aspects of recuperating from surgery is watching all of the Mock Drafts being put out there....

I saw one earlier today that had us thinking of taking Luther Burden because he would drop to us.

I will say this for most of the Mock Drafts...they point to us taking a lineman with the first pick or a CB/Safety.

Especially when you look at how much the good ones get paid. It’s good to not need to retain anyone in the WR room. Having 1 guy be irreplaceable is bad.

You can flip out of those guys with a year left for more picks too.

They’re basically a form of currency anymore.

I do think if Burden does drop to 32 they should draft him.

They don't have a 5th or 6th rounder this year.

I'm betting they move than future 4th to get a 5th and grab someone they think is sliding. Otherwise they're going a long time without picks.

In effect we'll have traded Thuney for the pick we gave up for Hopkins and a little change.

I would

I just don't see him dropping.....I could see the Chargers or the Raiders taking him if he was available. The Broncos seem to be interested in getting a good TE or I would include them in that.

I'd bet almost anything the Raiders take a defensive player.

WR is still certainly a need… the only likely opening day WR on the Chiefs roster currently is Worthy (Rice with a potential suspension is not).

Thuney has a history of carrying his teams to the Super Bowl, so it looks like we'll be playing the Bears next year.

Not this year unless Luther Burder miraculously falls (I still can’t believe that will happen).

This is the year to take a DL from this incredible class. This DL class is comparable to 2016 and 2019 DL classes and someone will fall.

That’s how we got Chris Jones. It should be how we try to get the next centerpiece on the DL to eventually replace him.

People are gonna be so disappointed because to this point they have shown they do not value DT's at all.

Not really a reliable source, but I have run dozens of mock drafts on PFN and only once has Burden made it to pick 31. Never say never but I would be surprised if he is available at the end of the 1st.

All the people doing mocks have him falling so that's why there's optimism.

There was one mock that didn't have him being picked in the first round at all...

Dane Brugler doesn't have him in his first round
