I don't know if I see a dick-flopping move to be made that involves just moving up in the draft. I guess, I foresee the great differentiators at ER being gone.
I just don't see the Chiefs giving up #31, a 2024 1st, and a 3rd to get into the top 12 just for whatever. That's a crazy amount to pay unless you absolutely need a guy at QB, LT, or ER. Maybe you do that next year if you can't reach a deal with OBj long-term and a developmental guy doesn't work out.
The Chiefs' only trade pieces also would create enormous holes for this team and those are Chris Jones and Orlando Brown. It's not thrilling to take hold of the idea of losing Jones, regardless of the payout. I'm on board with moving Brown but that move has to put you in a position to pick in the top 15 too, and I feel like that pick needs to be a 1st and not a 2nd. Maybe you settle for Pittsburgh's pick at #17.
Altogether, I see the Chiefs extending Jones and at least playing OBj on the tag again. If they feel good about the D-Line situation, I could see them making a move up with Minnesota to 23 for a WR like Hyatt or JSN. I think that'd be the extent of a dick-flop. Give Mahomes another electric weapon to work with in the passing game and it'll only cost a 3rd.
