Oh, really? Once I started looking at him, I thought he'd be a perfect fit for our offense. I'm intrigued by the guy. Some of the stuff I was reading commented that he might be moved from WR to RB in the NFL, which is a very unusual move. I could see Andy using him to great benefit.

They've talked to him. Some dude at AP was really high on him.

I mean, it's hard to argue against. He screams Andy Reid.

Shit, he's tall for a RB. Teach him how to throw, and he's probably a better QB than Taysom Hill. The guy could do absolutely anything.

I'm officially on the Gibson bandwagon. I want a whole team of sub 4.4 offensive skill players.

The Denver Broncos select Carlos Davis, DT, Nebraska

The Chiefs' draft is complete. We frittered away our 6th and 7th round picks on some guys who won the Super Bowl. So we end our draft with these new future champions.

1-32. Zach Baun, LB, Wisconsin
2-63. Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn
3-96. Ben Bredeson, G, Michigan
4-138. Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State
5-177. Antonio Gibson, WR, Memphis

We addressed a few needs in the first three rounds, but couldn't resist adding some weapons to the Mahomes arsenal later in the draft. I wanted to add a defensive end, but we didn't have enough picks for that. All in all, we added a bit of strength to almost every position group.

I wouldn't bitch at a draft like that. Every pick addresses and area for improvement from last year's Super Bowl team, so theoretically it's not so much reloading as it is evolving the team.

Looking at how the Chiefs have drafted the past several years, I really see only two players that were taken with the intent to immediately plug them into the starting lineup-- Nnadi and Thornhill. If the draft went this way, you've for sure drafted 3 immediate starters, and possibly 4. I don't think Veach's board will work out that way, but you never know.

While I philosophically like the 'best available athlete' approach, I find that my real-life philosophy is to try to increase the overall starting lineup, which pushes me toward prioritizing needs. I don't track free agency well enough for this exercise, but I also like to think about who the 47th through 53rd players are on the roster, and who's going to get cut based on what I draft. I want to draft in a way that cuts the least strong players.
