I think the Chiefs will take Artie Burns since Vernon Butler will be gone. He's got elite metrics and has grown up a lot due to what he's gone through. He's a Sean Smith type of guy who didn't have great coaching at Miami, but still had the most INT's of anyone there since Sean Taylor. This coaching staff gets the best out of the DB's and I think he's in a great position with Gaines starting ahead of him early.
Round 2 is a G IMO, and I think there's a ton of value at our pick. Caleb Benenoch, Christian Westerman, Evan Boehm (who they seem to really like and is underrated) and it's absolutely the right pick.
People keep saying "wait til the mid rounds for a G. **** that. What the hell has it gotten us? LDT is "pretty good" after time to develop and Fulton is a disaster at G. Reid has played one game at RG so I doubt he's anything more than a swing tackle/backup at this point.
It's time to learn from 2003. Build the ****ing OL up and let's roll. The proof is there supporting this. Jeff Allen was a very good G last year when he wasn't injured and the entire offense was better when he was in.
The OL collapse cost us HFA. It was a catastrophe that got us killed in the first month of the season.
We've got an ascending LT, a top RT and a legit top 10 C. Fix LG and finally put this OL disaster that we've seen for 2 years to bed.
