That will realistically be there?

1. Swift
2. Aiyuk
3. Reagor
4. Ruiz

1a Queen
1b Delpit
3. Epenesa
4. Dobbins
5. Swift

Queen presents the Chiefs with the three down linebacker that they’ve tried to find over the past couple drafts but were never in position to get the guy they wanted. My one concern with Queen is his lack of experience and limited film, but the consensus seems to be he is regarded as a clean prospect and will be a plug and play guy in the middle of some team’s defense.

I think back to 2006 when Tamba Hali was drafted, and a lot of Chiefs fans were lukewarm on that pick as Jared Allen was coming into prominence and some called the selection a luxury. I remember having watched a lot of Tamba‘s game film and thinking how consistent of a player he was and that he was steadily productive and a high effort/character guy. The reason I bring this up is because I feel the same way about Delpit. Watching LSU play the past couple years, he has arguably been their most consistent defender making big plays, showing great versatility and by all accounts is lauded for his leadership and accountability on the field. A lot of people knocked his tackling ability in 2018, but he put some of those concerns to rest this season. I think he checks off a lot of boxes that Steve Spagnuolo looks for in his secondary players. The film does not lie.

If Kareem Hunt was there we wouldn't have this discussion, Reid has film on what the offense looks like with an average RB playing with Mahomes and an elite one.

It's situational awareness how well the offense functioned when a young Future HOFER worked with the tools available to succeed. Mahomes' injury is something he has to deal with his whole career.

Patrick did play with dogshit protection because Wylie was good enough to get himself benched in favor of Wisniewski and Reiter and LDT got their shit pushed in that caused the injury to occur with linemen landing on his right leg while he was hobbling around with a left ankle sprain. If Mahomes had better security and options like the 2018 season he wouldn't have been injured during 2019.

Concerning the run attack, if defenses respected the run that would give Mahomes the ability to exploit it instead of the opposition dropping into zone most of game because the opposition wasn't terrified by the oft injured Damien,decrepit fumbling machine McCoy, and Thompson who's too daft and small to execute and understand the offense



There's a reason why KC interviewed Dobbins multiple times this offseason. My dark horse pick is OT Josh Jones in the draft

Josh Jones?

I dunno man, that's a tough nut. Justin Jefferson? He may not be as high a ceiling guy as some, but with Hill here, Jefferson could just be a fantastic option alongside him. I see a lot of what I like in Aiyuk but with just a little more speed.

This question illustrates why a trade back would be in the Chiefs best interest because they could get guys like Jefferson and Akers in Round Two while adding other positions of need with the additional picks acquired in a trade.

It's a damn shame the Chiefs are heading into this particular draft with only 5 picks.

Yeah. But 5 picks and 1 Lombardi beats what 31 other teams have. :)

Justin Jefferson? That guy is going in the first round for sure. He won’t even be there at #32.

When I watch Helaire I see Sproles 2.0 but he does have that vision and decisiveness. The guy that reminds me most of Tomlinson, from size to running style, is Dobbins. You're right, the thing that made Tomlinson great was never that he was going to juke you but that he was just going to see the hole faster than you and hit that hole at top speed and you weren't going to stop him. I see that mentality with both guys but I have to say I see alot more in Dobbins than I do in Helaire.

I'm never a fan of RB in the 1st but if Dobbins slides even remotely close to trading up range in round 2, I'm all about it. I don't think Helaire is the top back but I'd consider it a strong race for 3 between him and Akers. I just can't put him about Dobbins and Swift. I'd definitely be on board with your boy at 63 though.

How about “top 15 player in any other draft” (according to RunKC) Ezra Cleveland?

Probably early for Van Jefferson. No way in hell Justin Jefferson is there at 32 much less the second.

I think Run is realistic on that statement. He's a good LT prospect. Reminds me of Fisher coming out. Athletic as **** but lacking strength. He'll get there and when he does I think he'll be really solid. If that's the direction Veach went, I wouldn't be disappointed with it.

You like them better than Johnson and Diggs, or you just don't think Johnson and/or Diggs will still be on the board when we pick?

I like Gladney and Fuller - especially Gladney - but I like both Johnson and Diggs a little better.

The great news is, if Veach wants to he's going to get a good CB. Maybe more than one. Guys like Amik Robertson might still be there in the 3rd. I like Javaris Davis too. Might even be able to get a guy like that in the 4th or 5th.

I think it’s a joke. I don’t care how much athleticism that guy has, I don’t see a top 15 player.

This is very contradictory of your take on Willie Gay, who at least flashed against the best of the best.

If Ezra Cleveland is a top 15 player in malt drafts, then Willie Gay should be a 1st.

I like them better than Johnson and Diggs, though Johnson isn’t far behind.

Diggs is a guy that I love/hate. He could be anywhere from 4-7 in my rankings. I just haven’t seen enough tape.

Maybe. I wouldn't rule out anyone at this point, other than guys that were injured and haven't had a physical.
