If the Chiefs are trading up bigtime... why not Jordan Davis?

[Direckshun]

This guy is a slam dunk, safe pick. He's a better Dontari Poe.

He's going to solidify the interior of the DL, and since we apparently don't care about the EDGE position, shouldn't we build up the interior?

This also gives us more juice to trade away or release Chris Jones in the event that he asks for a massive raise next time around.

He also compliments Jones as a space eater -- he has the versatility to play either 1 tech or 3 tech.

We spent 2nd rounders on two linebackers, and what better way to emphasize their talents by than signing a 350 pound uber athletic monster who take up blocks on the internal?

Why are we so tunnel vision that it's unthinkable?

DL really is a function of its combined ability rather than individual greatness. And while a true monster can be a force multiplier like Aaron Donald, I just don't think Jordan is that guy.

Moreover, SOMEBODY was the engine on the GA defensive line. With Davis, Walker and Wyatt all on that line, at least one of them was a product of the rest of them. You willing to take the chance in trading up that it was Davis that was bringing up the rear? Because we saw how the Peppers/Sims gamble went when it was very obvious, very quickly that it was Peppers that made Sims look like an elite talent and not vice versa.

Nah - just not a risk I'm taking.

Jalen Carter is the best guy on that line, honestly, and I think the ONE guy other teams tried to account for at all times.

One thing about you can bet your wife on about this draft, you guys' canned rules/ formula or whatever won't be followed on draft night. I like to throw things at the wall and make it make sense. I could make a case for trading up for Wyatt or Davis
