So a 'first round grade' on, for instance, a safety - that's gonna need to be a DAMN good safety. Now in some years you see 3 safeties taken in the 1st round but that's mostly because the class is weak elsewhere so those safeties get moved up. For instance, look at the 2022 draft. Two safeties in Cine and Hill went in the 1st round. Those guys weren't 1st round talents. Very few years would have them going in the 1st. Kaiir Elam from that draft is a perfect 'close call' example. The draft got a little shallow at CB after the top 3 guys. And the Bills needed a CB. So they took him at 23 when in a lot of years, there's just going to be a better CB there at CB4 and Elam's not going to go to Buffalo at 23 but rather TN at 35 (the next team to pick a CB). Now Elam's borderline in that regard - I'm betting some teams really did put a 1st round grade on him. But on balance I think he was a need pick. If a guy is going to go in the 1st round every year regardless of the depth of his class and regardless of the need of the teams later in the round, that's a 'First Round Grade' player, IMO. And as others have said, to my eyes that usually goes about 18-20 players deep. And usually they're all gone by about pick 28. |

ESPN's suggested trade for the Chiefs.
32. Kansas City Chiefs Cardinals get: 1-32, 3-95 Chiefs get: 1-27, 6-186 If the Chiefs want to add a wide receiver in Round 1, they might want to get ahead of their arch-rivals from Buffalo, who pick at No. 28 and have a wide-open depth chart after trading Stefon Diggs and losing Gabe Davis in free agency. Moving up five spots would be in Kansas City GM Brett Veach's range, and while it would cost the Chiefs a third-round pick, beating the Bills to the punch for a wideout who separated from the pack on Kansas City's board would both help the Chiefs and potentially harm one of their biggest rivals. The Cardinals, who have featured in many of this mock's trades, would then have pick Nos. 32, 35, 66, 71, 90, 95 and 104, plus whatever they end up doing with the No. 4 overall pick. It's not the sexiest way to turn around a roster, but every single analytics department in the league would be nodding and looking longingly at all the second- and third-round picks GM Monti Ossenfort has amassed. ^If it's for WR BTJ or an OT I'd be super happy with that deal! |
Im almost like **** it, lets go get Odunze or Nabers...we would lose our first+ next year, but picking 32 hasnt yielded much lately

My hot take is the Chiefs will trade up for a LT If it's Olu Fashanu, Amarius Mims, or Jordan Morgan remains to be seen.
