Call Your Shot: Who will be the Chiefs first pick?
 

If they stay at 31: Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas

If they trade up: Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma St.

Rashod Bateman

Stay at 31: Terrace Marshall, WR, LSU

Trade up: Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech

Dillon Radunz or Terrace Marshall

Trade up for Darrisaw

Stay at 31: outside the box, best CB available.

Cosmi or Jenkins

Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma St.

Mac Jones @ 31

Trevor Lawrence if they trade up.

Bart gives the middle finger to all you chicken littles.

Trades back into the second round, takes a center, and then you guys jizz all over his 3rd round OT find.

Jayson Oweh, DE, Penn State

Looks like a Spags guy.

Oweh ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, which is absurd for an athlete his size and backed it up with a pro-shuttle time of 4.21, 21 reps at 225 pounds on the bench and a 39.5-inch vertical jump.Mar 25, 2021

Some WR most of us have never even heard of yet.

Stay at 31: Cosmi

Trade up to early 20’s if JOK is in range

Trade down: Eichenberg

Cosmi or Marshall

Trade the pick.

Cosmi or Collins

Likely this, or some other position player none of us saw coming.

Greg Newsome, II

I like this. I'd be very satisfied with either scenario.

I have no idea at all so I'll throw out a wild and crazy scenario just for shits.

The Chiefs trade up to draft DeVonta Smith, who falls outside the top 10.

Has a consensus been arrived at regarding how much if any a move up Teven is.

Earlier he was thought to maybe still be available when we pick, might even be a day 2 value, with day 1 being a stretch. But his pro day impressed and looks like the speculators are moving him up, but how far?

No matter who it is some here will complain while others argue it is a guaranteed first ballot HoF inductee.

Right now (and this will likely change the closer we get to the draft), he looks to be there right around pick #25.

Stone Forsythe a name to watch, maybe?

I was just thinking about that this morning. This was my thinking as well.

But if we get ****ed and teams reach on all the players we like and we can’t get a trade down partner like last year, then I think Jamin Davis is the guy

I don't know where he goes but I am really liking the idea of adding him. I was thinking he might go 2nd round but if we really like him trade down out of the 1st and pick him early there.

+1 on Collins, but I think he goes before this.

Whomever of the 3 is still on the board: Bateman, Cosmi or Rousseau.

Chiefs trade pick #31 and pick #136 in 2021 draft and a 3rd round pick in the 2022 draft to the Eagles for pick #37 and OT Andre Dillard. The Chiefs draft LB Jamin Davis with pick #37.

Chiefs trade pick #31 and a 2nd in 2022 to the Vikings and move up to grab Darrisaw.

Ryan Sims

Didn’t mean to downvote!

The Chiefs stay put and Rousseau or Cosmi falls in their lap. If both are sitting there, I think they select Rousseau and then trade up with the Jets in the 2nd round and then take Cosmi. Veach then goes back to genius status as the rest of the NFL scratches their heads in disbelief.

Love Jamin Davis

Whoever it is, it'll be a future HOFer!!!

With his weight at 170 pounds I think a lot of GMs will be afraid to pull the trigger on him in the top 12-15 picks. Would the Chiefs want him badly enough to make a major splash by trading up if he falls to the middle to late teens? To be determined. I for one would freaking love it!

Don't wanna start a thread for it but

If the Vikings were willing to move Thielan, would you send them a 2 for him? Seems like he'd be a nice fit here.

Wish i knew enough about this year's draft to guess.

And with the Chiefs kinda in this weird position of having several directions they can go, makes that guess even harder this year.

My son said Teven Jenkins. That seems to be a pretty popular choice.

Hell, if we're going to dream - send our first round pick this year and next year along with a fourth this year to Houston for Tunsil, then send a third and a sixth to Minny for Theilen. Take Brevin Jordan in the second and profit.

If I had to guess, probably somebody from the SEC.

If they stay at 31 - Terrace Marshall (they might even trade up a few spots to get him if a WR run develops). Unless they believe someone like Dede Westbrook or Golden Tate as a veteran FA can be their new Sammy Watkins, the Draft is the best place to get someone to keep creating mismatches.

If they trade up - if it’s a big trade up (at least 8 spots) it’s clearly for a LT and it will be for whichever LT has a mini slide. I’ll say Slater. If it’s a small trade up it’s to secure the WR

Oh, man, I hope you're correct!

Seems like people are either really high on Jordan or not high at all on him. I think he'd be a great fit. I wouldn't mind Nico Collins as a WR/TE2 hybrid either.

I think Smith is gonna be great. I think it's a pipe dream to think the Chiefs move up far enough to get him. If they do move up, it'll probably be for a tackle they like. Nothing is impossible though. I remember one particular draft when we were all debating which cornerback we would draft and we ended up trading up for a dude named Patrick Mahomes. That turned out to be a pretty surprising move and it kinda worked out for us. :)

Veach loves his weapons for Mahomes. If you are paying both Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce top of the market for their position the only way to get a third elite pass catcher is on a rookie contract. I wouldn't put it past Veach to go after him of he slides past pick 15. Like you said, pipe dream at this point however.

Some players are seeing their stock rise, which means that others will have to fall (perhaps due to no fault of their own).

There will be some REALLY good players available at our pick at positions of need. I don't know who we'll take, but I think we'll be happy with the players available.

Adam Thielan would be nice receiver for KC but his age, his contract dollars, and what the Chiefs are currently paying for Hill and Kelce would make it difficult.

Adam will be 31 when the season starts. He is signed for 2021 to 2024 at $5,968,750, $16,945,000, $17,950,000, and $17,100,000 Cap hits.

Chiefs have $15,850,500 and $20,685,000 for Tyreek and $7,650,000, $8,900,000, $14,650,000, $16,400,000, and $18,650,000 for Travis.

I think a 1st round pick for a WR makes a lot of sense for the Cap money and the future of the Chiefs.

No trade and Terrace Marshall Jr, WR, LSU in the 1st round.

A couple days ago I had a dream but it was one of those dreams that you don't remember until something triggers your memory, so I started looking at some draft stuff and I remembered dreaming the name Walker Little, I said I think that is a left tackle for Stanford, so I looked it up and sure enough, 6'7 315 and ran a 4.81 40 so I will stay with that and say Walker Little maybe at 31 or maybe after a trade down.

WR Dyami Brown. If we're trading up OT Darrisaw.

If KC stays at #31 IMO it's LB Jamin Davis with the Matt House connection, if it's a LT Veach won't **** around and trades up

I know kccrow loves him but I would be so sick I would turn off my TV and refuse to watch the rest.


;)

Nick Bolton, LB, Mizzou

cool story:spock:

Amen !!

:hail::hail::hail:

I'd be fine with this.

This is tough. So hard to know who's gonna fall.

Teven Jenkins

kadarius toney, trade up in the 2nd ot.

I am hopeful for Cosmi. A ton of upside and should lock up the left side for years even if he has to take some lumps year one.

Why the **** would the Vikings do that? Trade Mr. Minnesota? Vikings fans would crucify Spielman harder than Texans fans crucified O'Brien for trading Hopkins.

I think they're going to trade up in the 1st.

I think they'd prefer to stay put and take Cosmi in a normal year where they wouldn't have to start him at LT right away. But that's not an option with our current roster.

I also think they'd prefer to stay put and take Liam Eichenberg, who you can plug in right now but would have a lower ceiling (and less of a stylistic fit) than Cosmi, but Eichenberg's just too valuable as a surefire 10-year competent starter at LT. They'd have to trade up a few slots to get him.

Veach was hyperaggressive in trying to get Trent Williams. So I think trading up 6 spots or so to get Eichenberg just isn't his style.

Trading up 10-15 spots, however, to get Christian Darrisaw, who you could start right away and provides you Pro Bowl or All Pro potential and would be a perfect scheme fit? That's the kind of swing-for-the-fenches move that, to me, sounds like vintage Brett Veach.

I think we trade up for Darrisaw, but it's going to cost us.

LT of some sort.

Confluence of positional depth and extreme team need.

I agree. Go big or go home.

The problem with trading up far enough to get Darrisaw is you'd probably have to get to 12 or so. Going from 31 to 12 is gonna be....pricey.

27 to 10 cost us two firsts and a third. So you’re looking at that as a minimum. Dude better ****ing be worth it.

Yep.

If you trade away the top of next year's draft for a LT, he better be a 16-game starter right away and he better be at least good.

It's a huge risk.

Really it was just a first and a third. You get their first so you're technically only out a 2 picks.

LT is so important I'd understand the swing for it. In the grand scheme of things, giving up pick 31 this year and say our first next year and third this year isn't THAT crazy.

If they were giving up a first that was gonna be in the teens or something, I'd be alot more hesitant. But they're gonna be in the AFC champ game again, atleast barring injuries.

Those players you're picking at the end of the first are usually 2nd round type prospects anyway, similar to what we're looking at this year. So if that pick can get you a franchise LT, do it.

Whether the guy they trade up for is that or not, who knows.

And that’s the shitty thing. You can’t guarantee it’s a pick in the 30s. Something happens and all of a sudden we’ve given up a first in the top 15 picks. And hopefully Darrisaw wasn’t the reason why we were picking high.

I think Sewell and Slater are both gone by the Chargers pick. Darrisaw might be there in the late teens and that’s when we should strike bc he isn’t going to be there after Miami at 18.

Miami sure does love stockpiling picks, plus they have a top 10 pick already, so if we want to trade for Darrisaw that’s probably the sweet spot.

Probably cost this years first, next years first, a 3rd and we can probably toss in our extra 4th this year

Is the difference between Darrisaw and the guys available at 31 (Eichenberg, Leatherwood, Cosmi, Radunz - whoever it may be) worth giving all of that up? I don't know these college players so I'm just curious.

Rondale Moore WR Purdue.

I'd say yeah. Other than Cosmi (who seems very athletic but raw) I'm not sure any of those others are LT's in the NFL.

I mean, as long as Andy and Mahomes are here, you pretty much can.

I don’t think there’s a considerable difference between Darrisaw and Cosmi/Jenkins.

Those 2 would be reliable LT’s IMO

And for all the talk about Darrisaw....you’re banking on him going from a run first team to a team like the Chiefs and succeeding.

We're in a bad spot in that the positions we need to fill are pretty tough to fill at the spots we're picking.

LT, DE and QB are high round positions normally. So you're gonna have to wheel and deal or develop someone not as highly rated.

I think we can get a DE in the 3rd or 4th round and be okay.

LT is just going to depend on what they do. I’d be just fine with taking Cosmi and signing Okung to start out the year.

No, I don't believe it is. That's my issue with it.

Leon Sandcastle

This class has depth at LT and DE.

So no, I don’t think we’re in that much of a “tough spot”.

He's far better than those guys, with an All Pro ceiling.

Let's not forget, we are not in a vacuum here. We have the league's best QB to protect.

Veach was willing to sell Arrowhead Stadium to land Trent Williams.

We'll see if he feels the same way in the Draft.
