10. The Chiefs are selecting 31st. They are not in the hunt for any compensatory picks.

11. They are in the hunt for as many as 4 compensatory picks in 2020 (Ware, Conley, Morse, Bailey, Nelson).

The Selections:

The Chiefs trade their Marcus Peters 2nd rounder and both of their 2020 2nds to move up to the 14th overall pick.
1. CB Greedy Williams, LSU

Teams are going to be offense and passrush desperate in this draft, so it's very possible someone gets pushed down. It's too early to know who gets pushed down but in this hypothetical, it's Williams. A fantastic cover corner with elite length, Williams comes pretty much ready to play now, though he's still lanky and will need a couple offseasons to reach his full potential. High floor, even higher ceiling.

2. CB Kendall Sheffield, Ohio State

The polar opposite from Williams is Sheffield, a smaller slot speedster who cannot be outrun.

3. DE Youhanna Ghaifan, Wyoming

The Chiefs are going to need to restock along the DL after Allen Bailey walks this offseason. Henry Anderson is an attempt to plug the dam, but Ghaifan is the attempt to truly replace Bailey longterm. Ghaifan is a powerful athlete who will need incredible amounts of great coaching -- which is exactly what he'll get under Britt Reid.

5. NT Greg Gaines, Washington

Chiefs need to add more beef to solidify their run defense.

6. TE Tyrone Wheatley, Stony Brook

The Chiefs like big, powerful tight ends, rather than smaller Jimmy Graham-esque receivers. Wheatley fits the mold.

7. CB Blessuan Austin, Rutgers

Chiefs going all in to fill their CB cabinet.

Where the **** did we get two 2020 2nd round picks?

Our normal 2nd rounder + the LDT pick that we hypothetically traded for.

Gotcha. Missed that.

Also -- I accidentally hit "edit" on your post rather than "quote," but I didn't change your post.

Sorry about that.

I was normally on it, but i'm not trading LDT. OL play is so damn important now.

Do you ever write up scenarios where the Chiefs win the Super Bowl?

Everything I’ve read about this draft leads me to believe that we will go all in on defense again.

Apparently this is a well below average class for offensive weapons.

I think we have to add another pass rusher as well as a corner. Damn it seems like you should draft a pass rusher every year in this new league.

Everything has changed.

You don’t need to build good defenses any more. Now you need to build elite offenses and defenses that churn out turnovers more often than the average.

You need pass rushers and ballhawks all over your back 7.

Where is our ILB?

I'll probably start a thread about this, but I am of the opinion the Chiefs don't need to make much more than nominal additions at the position.

For me, re-signing Terrance Smith as depth is probably all we need to do.

If we get Greedy + Sheffield I'll pee myself.

Literally, in front of my friends + family.

So...the Chiefs re-sign Scandrick and then cut him?
