Chieftain 04-18-2020 12:00 AM

I have a strong feeling that it would be either Ruiz or Gladney. I would be perfectly fine with either one.

My true opinion if they love a player it's most likely a LB and Veach is going trade for one.which means Brett is going to use next year's draft capital, if they like certain group of a position it'll be the best RB available. In the 2nd round.


Ultimately,If they stay at the 32 spot it'll be the Chiefs pick of the litter RB

I change my pick.

Patrick Queen. Damien Williams is a post season juggernaut and we dont have to go RB with our #1. LB'er on the other hand truly is in short supply. Hitchens and Wilson are fine but we have virtually no depth with Ragland gone. And we need another for double TE power run teams like our biggest AFC rival, BAL. Not to mention the Honey Badger would love it and take him under his wing.

Welcome aboard the Patrick Queen camp :)

So what's the chances of him actually being there? If teams are reaching for offensive fire power to close the gap with the Chiefs then MAYBE we have a shot.

He’s mocked to the Ravens at #28 but Veach and tons of other reporters have said there will be players available at #32 where you thought they wouldn’t still be there

I think it's likely that Dobbins, Helaire and Akers might ALL be there.

ALL is probably a stretch, but I think it's a good bet to think one of them will be there.

I'm going out on a limb and to say the Chiefs will pick a player of Veach choice and Andy Reid blessings that will be of service in Super Bowl LV


God Bless this young man.

First off, spending the Chiefs first round pick on "depth" is an atrocious use of valuable resources. Whomever is taken at #32 needs to be a Day One starter and make an immediate impact.

Secondly, Damien Williams will be 28 years old before the season begins. He's never been healthy enough to play in all 16 games, not for the Chiefs, not for Miami and even in college, where he was also injured. He's an above average RB when healthy but his history says he'll never be healthy or reliable. The guys on the roster behind him are JAGs at the very best.

The Chiefs must and will upgrade their running back position but whether they do it at 32, 63, 96 or somewhere in between, is the question.

I have no idea how the draft will fall, especially considering that teams haven't been able to give physicals to guys with prior injury issues, but considering none of the top four running backs have any serious history of injuries, I think it's a pretty good bet that at least 3 of them will be gone by #63.

If all three out of the four of them are there, that would be an amazing feat of luck for the Chiefs, which would enable them to move back a few spots to add at least one Day 3 pick, unless they were the team to take the one that's not there.

Queen would be starting in this defense

Being the third LB'er in a 4-3 is starting if you're playing a team that loves double TE sets. It wouldn't take long for him to start splitting reps with Wison.

Only a few players in this draft would have a remote chance of starting day 1 for this team. Chase Young would be one and the other would have to be a man child of a LG. Our team is that good and returning 20 of 22 starters.

I'm not wrong. Day 1 means first snap of the season. With 20 of 22 starters returning, those are your starters.
