NFL Draft LNBS: Chiefs draft theory

staylor26 · 09:41 PM

Every year the Chiefs are connected, by what feels like everybody in the media, to the best deep threat in the draft. Whether it's Henry Ruggs, Jameson Williams, etc.

Haven't heard a whole lot about the Chiefs and Hyatt, and that makes me go hmmm.

Don't get me wrong, he was mentioned by both Breer and King today (interesting enough), but it was more of a throwaway backup plans scenario as opposed to the headline of names.

Instead it's been guys like Zay Flowers and Jamhyr Gibbs. The thing is, I don't see the Chiefs trading up as high as it will take to get Flowers, and I definitely don't see them actually taking a RB in the 1st more or less trading up for one.

Going into the draft process, many thought Hyatt wouldn't be in our range either, but after probably the most disappointing 4.4 I've ever seen, it feels like everybody has jsut written him off entirely in the 1st round.

What if the Chiefs know they can get Hyatt at 31, and they're just trying to keep everybody off the idea that he is in fact a perfect fit for what they look for (like Williams and Ruggs).

It's entirely possible that his 40 is a blessing in disguise, because I think he's going to light it up if the Chiefs actually take him.
