Mock (3/7)

[Direckshun]

Am I the first post-Brown/Clark mock?!?

Assumptions:

1. The Chiefs trade RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire for a 5th round pick.

2. The Chiefs trade for LT Laremy Tunsil (Texans) and a 3rd round pick for the team's 1st, the Tyreek Hill 4th, and the team's original 7th round pick, as well as a 2024 3rd round pick. The Chiefs then pay Tunsil 4 years, $95m, $50m guaranteed.

3. The Chiefs extend: RB Jerick McKinnon 2 years, $5m; DE Carlos Dunlap 1 year, $6m, CB L'Jarius Sneed for 3 years, $42m.

4. The Chiefs tender: QB Shane Buechele, TE Jody Fortson, OT Prince Tega Wanogho, DT Tershawn Wharton, P Tommy Townsend

5. The Chiefs re-sign to minimal deals: FB Michael Burton, WR Justin Watson, DT Brandon Williams, LB Darius Harris, S Deon Bush

6. The Chiefs let walk: RB Ronald Jones, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR Mecole Hardman, TE Blake Bell, OT Orlando Brown Jr., OT/G Andrew Wylie, OG/C Nick Allegretti, DT Derrick Nnadi, DT Khalen Saunders, S Juan Thornhill

7. The Chiefs sign QB Jarrett Stidham (Raiders) for 1 year, $2m; WR Keenan Allen (Chargers) 3 years, $35m; S CJ Gardner-Johnson (Eagles) 4 years, $52m.

8. The CB Rashad Fenton 7th round pick qualifies.

NFL Draft picks:

1. The Chiefs trade their 2nd round pick and the Edwards-Helaire 5th to move up several selections in the 2nd round.
2. 2nd. DE Derick Hall, Auburn
3. 3rd (Tunsil). OT Tyler Steen, Alabama
4. 3rd. DT Mazi Smith, Michigan
5. 4th. RB Kenny McIntosh, Georgia

9. 6th (Reed). DE Robert Beal, Georgia

Why not just send 31, 95, and a 2024 1st to Houston for pick 12 and take a LT on a rookie deal? Makes alot more sense to me than sending a bunch of draft picks to them for Tunsil and then handing him 25-26m a year.

If you're trading for Tunsil, **** it, just trade Chris Jones right now.

They may trade Chris Jones. It’s not clear to me how they can keep him on his current number.

Brown is younger and more accomplished than Tunsil, but I do think Tunsil is better. Only Paris Johnson comes within a mile of him. Skoronski is a guard, there’s no way they take him for LT.

Which is why I think KC grabs Robinson or Woods to add a Vet to the WR room.

They're just kicking the can on a Jones extension? Let him test his massive FA market next year?

I think there's a real chance.
