Who are you taking in this scenario?

That would have changed the game. I think we can all agree that the offense was at a higher level when Sammy was healthy

So you’re passing on a top 20 talent because of perceived positional value.

JOK is more than a LB, he’s a chess piece.

I’ll be looking for him bc his pro day is today. I have questions like his size and speed. He’s listed at 215 lbs? For a LB?

Regardless of that, the question you need to ask yourself is what moves our team in games? What decides games and is our strength? The answer to that is all things Patrick Mahomes, the pass rush and strong secondary.

I’m a big Willie Gay fan as well. I know they can exist together, but I think they feel very comfortable with him patrolling the middle of the field on passing downs. He definitely flashed that ability as a rookie

JOK would be part of that "strong secondary" especially on passing downs. He's a guy that could realistically line up on TE's one on one. That would be huge for this defense as it currently struggles with TE's.

If they pick him I won’t complain, but the team runs on the offense putting up points.

The SB exposed how weak we are at tackle (injuries), #2 WR and pass rush.

I think those have to be focal points considering all 3 are considered very good value in this draft from the top through the top 100

I get where you are but at the same time, we're not going to get many chances to draft top 15 talent while Mahomes is here. This is the perfect time to strike.
