But.

Will McDonald is right there, and he's a gamer. Ojulari doesn't fit our defense well but we desperately need more sacks off the edge and Ojulari has the highest floor of the remaining edge rushers.

Zay Flowers is still on the board -- but assuming we bring back JuJu I probably agree we should pass.

But maybe by far the toughest player for us to pass on is Bijan Robinson. You're talking about a Top 8 talent in this draft that has fallen to pick 31.

I think you slam dunk that pick. I don't care about history. You've sewn up LT for at least a season, we're probably bringing back JuJu. They can find a RT later in the draft and roll with Niang. The Chiefs can absolutely go RB here.

The truth of the matter is: the Chiefs cannot lose if they can run the ball. Robinson ensures they can run the ball, and Pacheco is emerging as a third down back anyway.

My choice, given your hypotheticals, is probably Bijan Robinson. But I'd take McDonald and Ojulari both over Foskey.
