DL makes sense, but with the additions of Jaylon Moore and Kristian Fulton, I think you have enough pretty much everywhere that there is NOT a position you have to lock in on.

And that's where you want to be. In all likelihood, it seems like the best player available is most likely to be a defensive lineman. But if you get a chance to add either of those guys as weapons for this offense, I think you do it.

It future-proofs you at WR and keeps your room extremely cheap heading into 2026 (3 rookie deals, one eligible for an extension). Which gives you tremendous flexibility to stack the roster elsewhere.

Everyone talks about the benefits of cheap rookie deals at QB, but WR is entering the territory where having an inexpensive but highly productive room is a huge roster advantage, too.

I think literally anything but QB is a possibility at #31.

Including moving down into the second for extra picks.

We're well set up to just go straight BPA, no need to stress about anything in particular.

Someone we aren’t considering is going to fall.

Luckily, the major holes have been filled. Whichever steal is there, do it Burt.

I might be slightly disappointed if it's a guard, but other than that, swing away.

I’d be all for Egbuka or Burden at 31.

It would be great to have some flexibility when it’s time to pay Rice.

Everything you said is 100% right but I still want Josh Simmons if he’s within 5-10 spots of where we pick. I want the oline to be super competitive and a position of strength. I’d love to see Mahomes with an offensive line that he really trusts. I think Mahomes would be lights out with our current weapons with and a top oline.

I really don't see Veach taking a WR in the 1st or 2nd round this year. Maybe 3rd or 4th round. Someone will be around in that range like Bond, Royals, Felton, Williams, Lane, etc. They really need a good developmental slot.

I think it's an absolute pipe dream to think Egbuka or Golden will be anywhere near our pick. Hell, I really don't think Burden will be either. The bottom drops out after those guys to a bunch of 3rd round types so I think they'll get snapped up pretty quickly.

I do find it interesting that the mock draft simulator I used yesterday dropped him in quite a few times to the Chiefs pick. I know that will continue to change until draft time but it was interesting that others were jumping up in the first round pushing him down.
