Some prospects I love, and where I love them.

Based off your description, I will absolutely give Tillman another look.

We are completely on the same page with Harrison & McGuire. I think McGuire has Tamba Hali upside — there’s got to be a better comparison. Hali was not gifted but he was ferocious and won with technique. McGuire is already ferocious, and I think he’s insanely coachable.

Glad someone else is high on Hutchinson — I am higher than everyone, so feel free to regard me as an outlier.

Patterson is probably worth more to others than us because we have an entire interior line established for the next 2-6 years. Keep in mind, this entire thread is through my eyes as a Chiefs fan, and I don’t like the Chiefs taking interior line until the third day.

Let me ask you this about Smith-Njigba: even if he’s as good as you say, do you not have hesitations regarding the fact that he’s a version of Toney/Moore, which we already have? The Chiefs need an X (assuming we don’t bring back Juju) and a Z (assuming we don’t bring back Hardman).

Re: Patterson. I don't think you can come out and say you'd spend a 6th on him when a 6th is completely unreasonable. If you don't want to spend a day 2 pick on him, say that but don't give the impression that's where you're grading him. We all know he won't be there in the 6th or anywhere near it. Maybe scout a different player like Spencer Anderson who might be there in the 6th and offer him up as a suggestion.

As for Smith-Njigba... I really don't think Reid cares about what we see as a "traditional" X, Z, slot, etc. He and Veach have repeatedly said that they look for speed, but most importantly guys that can play multiple spots. Does Smith-Njigba check those boxes? Oh, yeah, I think so. He isn't slow. He's not a 4.3 guy but he might be 4.40. He can line up anywhere and win matchups. This is where I think this focus that a number of fans have on a big-bodied WR that can win as a pure X are getting Reid entirely wrong. He's rarely had those guys. 6'0" 190 is probably an ideal Reid body type but most importantly the ability to line up at all 3 spots and play with speed and quickness.
