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

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

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

He has us taking Jeff Gladney

32. Kansas City—Jeff Gladney, cornerback, TCU

Craziest rumor of the first round: Chiefs want to trade up for Henry Ruggs if he falls into the twenties. Insane. Do they want every sub 4.35 guy in the National Football League? A couple of theories: There are only two very good cover corners in this draft, Okudah and Henderson, and they’d be long gone by the time the Chiefs could make a reasonable offer. Sammy Watkins is a short-termer, probably only one more year in KC, so another quick-twitch guy would fit either this year or next. Finally, fast guys with slight builds who collide with defenders tend to get hurt, so Ruggs would be good insurance for that in 2020 and a stalwart beyond that.

Anyhoo, the Chiefs’ biggest position of need right now is corner, and Gladney is a competitive and tough player who would fit in Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme.

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.
