Peter King Mock: heard a rumor that the Chiefs want to trade up
 

for Ruggs if he falls into the twenties (not happening anyways).


https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ia-peter-king/


Just thought it was interesting because it’s Peter King who’s reliable.

He has us taking Jeff Gladney

It’s like Al Davis got in a time machine and saw the Chiefs owning the league with speed and decided to try getting a franchise quarterback and drafting speed in the first round every pick.

Davis of course, failed miserably. Andy has been doing it right. I’d be disappointed if it’s the way we went, but ultimately I trust Andy to continue stockpiling speed and talent on this offense.

I can see Veach doing this. He has some big brass balls

We won the Super Bowl. If they want to try to do it again relying upon an even more blazing group of WRs, go for it. They've earned my trust.

I would just laugh and laugh hard.

**** it. Just chuck it deep. Lets do this.

Viewership of this is going to be huge.

I typically hate the NFL draft. ****ing hate it.

But I'm getting extremely overserved and yelling at my TV. Wearing my Mahomes jersey and live video conferencing with a bunch of friends while we watch.

I haven't been this excited for a non-action sporting event maybe ever.

Thread title sucks.

The prospect of Ruggs in this offense does not, however.

From the same article:

“The other side of that is some very smart offensive minds—Sean Payton, Andy Reid—love Ruggs.”

Then we could move Hill to RB!

King is full of crap. He never knows shit and has zero.

They are running a little short on ammo to trade up.

I don't see him getting past then Raiders second pick in any mock draft.

Or we could trade down acquire more picks or just stand at 32 and pick the guy Veach wants that is there.


Ground breaking stuff Chiefs could trade up when they are 32nd in the draft. Although we don't have many picks to play with so i think the likely hood is nil maybe enticing but still nil.

With the ****ed up offseason i wouldnt be upset if they give up some capitol to get a guy they feel is sure fire and a fit. However its a deep class and i feel like if an unlikely trade back is there we could fill some holes with second and third tier guys for years to come.

That would be ABSOLUTELY INSANE (in a good way).

I'd hate to see it in a way with our back seven needing so much investment but Veach is a homerun hitter.

Not a huge fan of Ruggs. Think he's worth a 1st round pick but would hate trading up for him.

I'm thinking it's going to be awful. All the commentators talking over each other but now remotely so they really dont have any idea when to shut up because they cant actually hear the other two people talking.

This is the deepest WR draft in the history of football, apparently. Not sure why we’d trade up for a guy. I think the more likely scenario is that we trade down from 32 and add some picks on day 2.

That's actually unlikely, at this point.

Reporting is that the three teams at the bottom of the 1st are all in prime positions to trade down, which likely dilutes our market past the point where it's worth it.

I'd put money on the Chiefs making a pick on Thursday.

Peter King is reliable?

He’s a name, but he’s not more reliable than anyone else.

From the article:

Love Ruggs, but also love Donavan Peoples-Jones In the 3rd or 4th

Reagor is pretty damn fast, how far can he fall? He also never had great QB play and still put up numbers.

He mentioned a player we'd specifically being trading up to grab. Seems significant, IMO.

No WR is worth trading up for. We have done just fine without.

If this is true and they obviously don't get Ruggs, I would expect Reagor to be very high on their board as plan B

Yeah players, coaches and GM's will take his calls but whens the last time he got a "scoop"? In the 90's/2000's he had the info but no longer.

^this^

In Veach We Trust

Interesting. Do you also hate chocolate chip cookies, you sociopathic son of a bitch?

What sux is we gotta wait until what 10 pm to find out we just traded out of 32

THIS!


At the end of the day whatever Veach decides we need to give him the benefit of the doubt. In his part of modern day football, he had been Mahomes like. He's earned our trust.

That will still be 100x more sports excitement than any of us have seen in 6 weeks.

I'd watch the NFL draft from beginning to end Thursday even if the Chiefs didn't have a first round pick.

Very this

It will be interesting from the virtual-social distancing aspect.

Did they change any rules about time?

If this were true, there would be no "rumor."

The Chiefs FO doesn't let shit like that leak.

:facepalm:

Peter King literally broke the news that we were in love with Marcus Peters in his one and only mock days before the draft like this one...

I trust Veach and will be okay with what he does regardless, but IMO, it would be incredibly stupid to trade up in a draft that has so much depth and talent at positions we need and could easily fill a hole at 32 or even later if we trade back and acquire more picks (my preference).

IF Veach trades up, I would question the strategy, but I wouldn't question Veach or the player he drafted.

This move would seem counter-intuitive....considering they only have 5 picks in a deep WR class.

I seriously doubt this happens...especially since Veach stated he thought some talent would fall in the first round.

They have too many players slated to leave next year to be giving up 3 picks for a single WR.

This draft needs to be about restocking cheap labor....to compensate for Mahomes contract.

Unless they plan on dealing their 2021 #1...which should be #32 again. ;) That would be the only scenario that would make sense...giving Ruggs a year in Reid's system before Watkins leaves.

Gotta remember... while we don't have a lot of draft pick to trade... we do have players..:hmmm:

I wonder if CJ / LDT would be included in any scenario, although I do think it would be foolish to move CJ for JUST a slide up 10 places for a rookie WR.

I'm here for it.

Just throw your defense a bone and say "hey guys, hold them below 35".

We have more pressing needs than wide receiver (even though we don’t have many needs at all)...however, if it happens, Mahomes might throw for 60 TDs this year. A shortened offseason and pretty much our entire offense back. Then you add another 4.3 40 guy? Watkins becomes our 4th fastest receiver? Holy shit.

Jones is worth a top 10 pick at the least....I'd value a proven commodity over hope.

The only scenario where Jones should be in play...is if KC needed to move up for a franchise QB.

I love CJ, but I’ve been okay with the idea of trading him for the Jags 20th and 73rd picks. It’s probably a little less than what the 49ers got for Buckner value wise—but it’s worth more to have the extra pick.

However when I do this trade in my head it’s for one of Murray/Queen. But if we went Ruggs at 20, and still could go best D player available at 32...id be intrigued

I would also be ok with Gladney.

We won the Super Bowl. If they want to try to do it again relying upon an even more blazing group of WRs, go for it. They've earned my trust.

I would just laugh and laugh hard.

That’s not how we won the Super Bowl though. Team game. Defense was a major part of our championship

And pretty much that exact same defense is back with the same coaching staff.

I’d prefer to add an athletic linebacker early, but it’s not like our defense will be the 2018 defense if we don’t.

That's how we would win this super bowl tho

Since we're going all in next year, trading a future pick to move up wouldn't totally shock me.

I'd probably prefer it's for an instant impact player on defense however, but obviously you have to trust Veach and the staff.

Do they trade a vial of PMII's semen(elmers glue). For the texans' second rounder, for trade up ammo

You're an idiot.

A core of Hill, Ruggs and Hardman with Kelce at TE and the roket launcher on Mahomes' right arm would be must see TV every single time out. I'm all for it!

Someone who is more versed in this what would it take to get from 32 to 20? Next years second rounder? A long shot that Ruggs even falls to 20.

With Robinson and Sammy being on borrowed time, getting Ruggs or another WR with our first pick wouldn't totally shock me.

This would awesome if it becomes reality.

JFC the biblical speed on this offense with Mahomes would be unreal.

The irony.

You said this can’t be true because the Chiefs don’t let shit like that leak, I provide an example of that happening with this same exact guy breaking it, and this is your response?

Peter King knew we wanted Peters when absolutely nobody else did. We were meeting with Peters days before the draft and he knew about it. Fact.

I hope his mock is right because if it is...Patrick Queen.

MY DICK WOULD LOOK LIKE THE JC NICHOLS FOUNTAIN BECAUSE OF ALL YHE JIZZZ IF THIS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!

Plenty of wr's what we need is Def a crazed LB.

Not just a little but a lot.

Please rape on draft picks. In Vech we trust.

Is King still giving Fat Scott Hand Jobs? I mean he built the modern day Chiefs....

I'll be floored if they don't trade out of the first.

Who was the GM when we drafted Peters? Where were the leaks about Mahomes?

More irony is that I had to spell out the reason you're an idiot.

The guy that runs this show was here oh and he still is...

The fact that it was Dorsey doesn’t really change anything since it was still during Reid’s tenure.

The Chiefs haven’t even had a 1st round pick with Veach, so your assumption that something has changed since is baseless.

I know Andy is in charge in the end. It doesn't change my argument in the slightest.

I'd love it if they trade up. It's been on my mind.

This is Veach's first 1st round pick. He doesn't strike me as a guy content to sit at 32 and i bet he's itching to swoop up his guy, whoever that is.

I would not be surprised at all if the Chiefs trade up. This ain't grandpa's Chiefs anymore.

So you know a team trading up?

I don't think anything leaked from the Chiefs side. Now I think there is a chance that the Chiefs talked to teams in the 20's if we needed to move up what it would take.... That might have leaked and then people take some guesses on who they might be targeting.

But realistically i think it is much more probable they end up moving down then up.

We haven’t had a 1st round pick since Veach has been GM dumbass...

I dunno how many teams are really going to be interested in moving up at that spot and if one of a handful of guys does fall there is no reason to move back.

I hate things that people love to talk about, but have no real confidence of what they are talking about. Usually that is the NFL draft.

But this year, I will take anything I can get. I like macadamia nut, if you must know. Chocolate chip is overrated.

I agree.

Not only will there be a damn good player there, but one at a position of need. The 5th year option is really valuable for a team like the Chiefs. I'd have to get a decent haul to pass on it this year.

We are not moving up in the draft.

We don't have enough draft capital the way it is. Now that all changes if we deal Jones.

We won the superbowl you can relax

He’s the one that called me an idiot when he’s clearly wrong.

Get something right Billay. You can do it.

Rumor mills are always interesting and will ramp up closer to the draft.

Gives us something to talk about I suppose.

Yeah, and with the lack of anything non-Covid related to talk about, it seems worse this year.

Lots of great talent in this draft, hell KC could trade down a bit and pick up another pick or two.

I'd like to see Denver trade down from 15 and do the same.

It makes no sense unless they use one of our WR to trade up.


Ie use Watkins to trade up, so basically Watkins for Ruggs. Chiefs get younger and drop salary. Someone else gets a proven veteran.

The draft is deep with Wrs so i still don't see it happening.
