This draft was kick-ass. I accepted some trade down offers, stayed true to the board, and filled a ton of needs.
KC
45.
Jaelan Phillips
EDGE Miami (FL)
trade icon
Super talented Edge player, projects as a 10 sack a year guy. This should make our front four a dominant group. I'd bring back Charlton too, for depth.
KC
64.
Liam Eichenberg
OT Notre Dame
trade icon
Draftnetwork scouting report says: plug and play LT, should transition easily to the NFL. All the physical skills, smart kid. I'd also sign Jason Peters as stop-gap/insurance/mentor/swing tackle reserve.
KC
88.
Quinn Meinerz
OC Wisconsin-Whitewater
trade icon
This kid's tape is unreal and he just flat ate up everyone Senior Bowl week. He went from not on anyone's radar to a probable 3rd rounder. He's a monster, and I seriously doubt he doesn't end up a pro-bowl caliber OC. I sign Justin Britt as cheap vet insurance/back-up/IOL depth.
KC
94.
Kenny Yeboah
TE Mississippi
This is a talented receiving TE. Kelce's heir apparent, will be a weapon right away. Two TE sets could really be deadly, and help out young OT's with chips on their way out to routes.
KC
105.
Joe Tryon
EDGE Washington
trade icon
In year one, Tryon is probably a pass rush specialist, as he's about ten pounds lighter than Clark. That's fine; as a rotational piece with Danna/Charlton, and a year in an NFL weight program he can totally hit that 260ish ideal. They say you can't have too many pass rushers; I agree. This allows us to keep even Clark fresh. Maybe that's his problem.
KC
130.
Aaron Banks
OG Notre Dame
KC
The ideal Reid OG. Power, athleticism both. Great value here. Also a plus: He's used to playing next to Eichenberg. If he beats out Alegretti, great, move Alegretti to RG competition with LDT.
131.
Austin Watkins
WR UAB
trade icon
Prototype Sammy Watkins size, VERY similar skillset. 'X' receiver of the future.
KC
224.
Darren Hall
CB San Diego State
Spags approved length and speed. We've hit on this type of player the last few years, and we'll need some depth after Breeland probably walks. Re-sign Baker, and roll with Sneed, Baker, Ward, Fenton, and this kid.
