MacFarland in the 2nd.

Drafting at #32 every year is really gonna have me staying up later than usual for the next decade+

Embed this in the OP if you want.

Thanks bowener!

We need: 2 fatties for O line; strong rushing LB; speedster WR who can catch; TE who can catch, block and run routes; RB in late round; aggressive CB; punter as last pick

Our 7 rounds quickly laid out for you.......

Well , right now we only have 5 picks I believe. Trading Jones will get us a couple. Wouldn't that be nice to have two 1's and two 2's. We could replace Jones and build a really good defense with all that and use Jones cap savings to grab a fatty for the Oline.

That would be monumental disaster. If taking a RB in the second it would have to be any number of backs better than McFarland. Akers, CEH, Taylor, Dobbins or Moss are all more likely to go in the second than McFarland. Hard pass on a smaller, change of pace back in the second round.

I don't understand the Chief fan lobbying for a RB in the first or second round. The real value for RBs is round 3 or later every single year.

I think what people are thinking is that we have such a good WR core and the best TE in the league then adding a really good back will make us just over the top unstoppable.

Can you imagine this offense with Derrick Henry.

McFarland is more likely to be a 3 or 4 guy than a 2.

I'd take a 2nd round RB if I thought he was special, JK Dobbins would probably be a 2000 all purpose guy in this offense, that's worth a 2.

I guess you could talk me into that. McFarland in the second however, not a chance.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">One position that some believe would be worth even more investment on offense for the Chiefs would be running back.

Just gimme a C or G in the 2-3 range, that’s really all I ask... STOP being so reliant on all of these 5th-6th round guys

Guys like Lemieux or Ruiz could step right in and be INSTANT upgrades... give our mighty King the personal bodyguard he deserves!

Everything else will be gravy

This should be one of the most watched drafts ever, what with nothing to do and no sports for forever.

This. I'd like Patrick to have the same luxury that Trent Green had. Give PM2 endless protection and see what he can do. I bet he could even make chicken salad from chicken shit.

Trent Green needed Priest Holmes as well, which is why the Chiefs need to draft a full time starting running back with one of their first three selections, if they don't trade down for more picks.

The offense looked completely different with a healthy Damien Williams than it did without him and given his injury history, it's imperative that the Chiefs draft a guy that can be an every down back.

The likelihood of Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson leading this team to a Super Bowl is extremely slim.

Patriots trying to move up to get Tua.

There's no chicken salad on this team. It's all ribeyes and caviar.

I didn't realize that Tua had a reputation for cheating.

I can't believe you people let this fall off the front page!

Well Saben was on Belicheck's staff in Cleveland so it's kind of ingrained from here on out.

My annual party still on. Come over to my house for some Social Closening.

Good. They'll go from one broke dick to another.

:bravo::bravo:

Need to protect the franchise PERIOD !!

Already has. Remember Albert Wilson in just one game ? And that was his rookie year.:drool:

Bill giving the farm away? Believe it when I see it.;)

I actually think that one if not both will be there. Ruiz is DJ's pick for us. "F" that! Can you imagine Swift or CHE being there @ 32? Go for it and relax the rest of the draft with simple position fills.

Sounds like everybodys given up on Darwin Thompson.

1) Priest Holmes ran behind what may have been the most dominant offensive line in the history of football.

2)A healthy Damien Williams coincided with Fisher getting back in playing shape and then Wisniewski taking over for the dumpster fire that was Wylie.

3)The likelihood of anyone not named Patrick Mahomes leading this team back to the Super Bowl is very, very low.

I agree that we need an influx of talent at the RB position. I just think without seriously addressing the offensive line it would make little difference. A Zack Moss, or my new dark horse pick Antonio Gibson in the 3rd-4th range would be cool AS LONG AS we've upgraded the line with one draftee and one FA.

If anyone knows the necessity of having an elite QB, it's Belichick.

I would do this. If I was BB, I would do whatever it took to do it.

Without a true elite QB, your ceiling is this year's 49'ers.

Close, but no cigar.

That isn’t happening and that article doesn’t even say what you’re claiming it says.

They're not even comparable to the 49ers, because their defense is about to fall off a cliff. The average age of their secondary is around 32, and they have multiple defenders in the front 7 approaching 30. The defense is about to hit a wall.

They have 12 draft picks to infuse some youth on that Defense.

I'm sure BB will make a splash somewhere for QB. All they need is a game manager and they will win some games.

From another thread:https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...=330414&page=2

I don't recall a draft in which there were so many players the Chiefs could potentially pick in the first round. Typically we're able to narrow things down to a handful of players but this year it feels like there are ~20+ potential picks. Maybe we should trade back?

In no particular order:

Swift RB
Dobbins RB
Higgins WR
Pittman WR
Raegar WR
Ruiz OC/G
Madabuike DT
Blacklock DT
Murray ILB
Queen ILB
Diggs CB
Johnson CB
Igbinooghene CB
Terrell CB
Gladney CB
Fulton CB
McKinney S
Delpit S
Chinn S
Epenesa DE
Baun DE
Davidson DE

*Edited: To include those you felt should be on the list


Questions:

1. Anyone I'm missing?

2. Which of these guys is your pick at #32

I'll take them all !

I bet there are going to be so many good players available at 32 that we can trade back and collect an extra pick.

Going from 32 to 40 might be smart.

Bump, to get the clock back to the top.

Trade down, trade down, trade down.

Playing around in the draft room with different software, it seems Miami and Jacksonville have been willing draft partners, they both have numerous picks available. Real life, I imagine will be differant and not as easy to make equitable trades.

My simulation mock draft with 3 trade down trades.

QUESTION:

WITH ALL THIS TALENT AVAILABLE AT #32, WHY WOULD ANY TEAM TRADE UP?

NOT HAPPENING FOLKS.

Countdown to NFL draft
 

Here’s my simulation with what was offered. I accepted 6 trade downs while trying to accumulate picks in the top 100ish or first 3 rounds.

You remember Chicago trading up from 3 to 2 to take Trubisky and gave up several picks to do it. Teams get attached to a particular player and can't control themselves.

I bet we have 5 teams begging to get to 32 and grab that 5th year option.

That would be so much greatness. 11 picks in the 3rd round and then we'd have two 1's in the next two drafts. I'd be all for that. :clap:

Edit: wait I don't see where the 1's are acquired

We call this gaming the metric of a simulator, that is in no way realistic.

Yup.

32 is an ideal trade spot.

Gets to the end of the day. Player (or a couple) no one expected to be there is there. Several teams interested in trading up as it’s the last pick of the day, and as mentioned, the 5th year option.

If the Chiefs wait it out there at draft time, I have no doubt they’ll have several interested suitors for that pick.

So if a guy is there that the Chiefs REALLY love and absolutely have to have, they’ll take him. But if there are several still available that they like there, the you trade down into the second, take one of them when your picks gets there and pocket the extra draft revenue.

1. Queen ILB
2. Hall CB
3. Moss RB
4. Gibson WR/RB/ST
5. Best Available OL

You'll have teams that want to trade back into the first to draft a guy they really like and take advantage of having him under team control for an extra year.

5th year option on QB or RB

With the new CBA rules on the 4th and 5th round options on the 1st round picks, I wonder if teams may try and steer clear of having to deal with that 5th year?

Pretty damn good, Bro. Here’s how I’d handle it...
1. HB J.K. Dobbins
2. CB Jaylon Johnson
3. ILBer Logan Wilson
4. OG Jon Runyan
5. WR James Proche

This can’t get here soon enough, I need a distraction like never before

Maybe the asteroid will be here early

My asteroids are already here, can hardly get off the couch anymore :D

I can dig it

We also need something to bitch about other than a virus for a while.

My brain says LB, CB,IOL, EDGE, RB, my heart wants RB, WR, TE, C, IOL

not bad. Except that Gibson will be primarily a RB for Reid I expect; and I don't see taking TWO RB's.

I'd slide a LB or solid G or C into that #3 slot.

I was thinking Gibson could be the new DAT, acting as a returner and scatback.

Look it's the Chargers GM in his war room...

https://i.redd.it/7mcqh2gunss41.jpg

I wish Oline was higher on your list. :(

a 220 lb. scatback?

8 day bump

Since there's no actual news,.I'll penbrook this shit

Geno or bust!

Since we signed wash. I no longer think we should.

He fast isn't he?

What news is so big that it has to wait 24 hours?

My dream draft: Murray slips to 32, if not, maybe Braun?

2nd round: Jaylon Johnson, CB

3rd round: Best OL Available.

So we have to wait until tomorrow night?

That would instantly fill 3 holes faster than Ron Jeremy, Peter North and John Holmes

ROFL Agreed!

Like most, I'm in dire need of something sports related. Hell, I'd pay for a 4 hour PPV with something like this...

So?

I guess the piece of shit announcement happened or will happen on some show tonight? it probably sucks ass.

Maybe he thought he was gonna break OBJ trade and it fell through.

Glazer is douche. His big announcement was that the Rams center has covid and is fine.

The Lions are open to trading their no.3 overall pick according to ESPN this morning . . . Didn't see that coming.

It would never happen.

But let’s just play along for fun. Who would you take?
