Terez Paylor's Chiefs' Draft Needs
Positions needed: RB, G, C, LB, CB Analysis: The defending Super Bowl champions head into 2020 with a motto of “run it back,” and the team’s offseason plan has reflected that. Kansas City re-signed several key players from its championship team, betting on continuity in a COVID-19-affected season as the Chiefs currently have everyone who played at least 57 percent of the snaps last season under contract for 2020. That doesn’t mean there isn’t room to strengthen the roster. Offensively, the Chiefs are powered by an explosive offense guided by Mahomes, but there’s a need to bolster the interior of the line to grow with Mahomes and help protect him for the next decade. Beyond that, Super Bowl hero Damien Williams returns to man the running back position, but he’s in a contract year and the team could draft a young back and groom him to take the reins in 2021. Defensively, the Chiefs need second-level help — a sideline-to-sideline linebacker with skills in pass coverage could carve out an immediate role — while the cornerback position would also benefit from the infusion of a top-100 draft pick. And with Mahomes’ massive extension looming, don’t be surprised if Kansas City entertains a trade down in the first round in an attempt to stockpile more cost-controlled assets. |

I love Terez but disagree that we need to take a RB in the first round to groom for the future.

I've never thought about it this way, but when you win the Super Bowl, your draft needs are merely to replace the players you lost in the offseason.

Eh, Chiefs could really use some upgrades at certain positions.
Obviously, the goal is to #runitback, but I’d rather them just dominate and demoralize every one on the way to another Super Bowl Title, a la 2007 Pats, minus the hiccup at the end. But we don’t have to worry about facing Spags in the Bowl like they did. |

What's up with all these mocks that predict a running back for us at 32?
Ridiculous. Wally isn't going to draft a damn running back in the first round. FAX |

Not in the 5 year plan the window is now with a Future HOF QB at the helm

By comparison, Kareem Hunt had 1,300+ yards and 8 TD's in his rookie season alone. The Chiefs are most certainly taking a running back in this draft. Where and who they take is yet to be determined but it wouldn't be a surprise if they take a guy early, even at #32. |

I do not, however, believe for a second that it will be in the first round. FAX |

Trading back not only allows them to add more selections but allows them to obtain "cheap labor", something they'll need moving forward. |

Quick question, however ... Has Wally ever drafted a running back in the first round? At any point in his 20-year career? I can't think of one. FAX |
