Has postseason play changed your perspective on the draft?

[ntexascardfan]

Every single draft has us taking a WR in the first round. The more I sit in that thought, the more it feels reactionary.

The next year will be filled with trying to figure out which guys on rookie deals to extend or let go to free agency. Humphrey, Smith, Bolton, Gay, Sneed, and others who are all big contributors to the team.

I'm starting to think we aren't going WR in round 1 and I could us not taking a skill guy until the third round.

I could see us going DT in round one if we don't extend Jones. I could see us taking a guard in round two considering we could be in a place where we are needing to replace Humphrey or Smith after next season AND Thuney after 2025.

This feels like a draft where we restock for the longterm v. trying to fill an immediate pain point that hurt us during the regular season.

Do not wanna get caught paying for what a guy did in years prior. Have to pay for prime years.

The catch with Chris is he might have another 1-2 dominant years left. And that might secure you another SB. But it's risky with so much cash already in escrow for our talent that is still 26 or under.

You still offer him, competitively, but I doubt he's willing to settle. Which is too bad because he has to be making some good cash off endorsements these days. Mahomes should dangle a commercial carrot or two out there.

The thing with Chris is that....hell he may just be that dominant force for another couple years and really cement a HOF status. Dude has just matured into such a leader here, it's just been fun to watch.

All things come to an end, it probably will but damn I'd love to see him and Kelce and Pat just finish this thing out.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I would certainly think there's an emotional component to it and hell, the holdout may have given him a taste of what he'd be missing out on. He clearly loves his coaches.

I would hate to see him go rot in Chicago to end a HOF career. Take the $60m guaranteed and stay happy, stay a champion.

That's one reason I really like Legette and Worthy.

Keep doubting Cade Stover!

(I really think Andy Reid would get 800+ yards out of Stover pretty easily)

I'd love to get Mike Gisecki as TE3 here. He was only a $4.5 million cap hit last year and had a poor season due to the Patriots QB being a dumpster fire, but he can be a buy low guy with his excellent athleticism.

Only 28 years old too

Eh, I'd look younger and try to develop more there.

All UT, all the time, baby!

Can we get Worthy too?

I don't think he gets that high.

Robinson is a really powerful LE with better-than-average quickness. I think he'd be an absolutely outstanding E for the Chiefs in this system. He's going to reduce inside really well in dime packages, too.

I could see taking him at the end of the 2nd if you have walked on Jones and are looking for some interior pass rush beef.

But if you're popping in the 1st for a DL, I don't think you do it for Robinson.

He's probably a top 50 player in this class right? Taking that at 32 woudln't be the worst thing.

If you’re thinking he’s a disruptive 3 or 5 tech DT, no.

He’d have to put about 15-20 pounds back on for that though.

I don't think he is.

Top 100, sure. But i don't see him being powerful enough for DT or fast enough for DE.

I think he might be an NFL 5-tech in a 3-4 system. A good, but not great one, at that. So I'd be surprised to see him go before the 3rd round.

It's too early for the "everyone is a potential 1st round pick" game, fellas. Can't we at least wait until mid-February before we start convincing ourselves that dudes who end up going in the 4th and 5th rounds are worthwhile considerations in the 1st?

Someone was saying on Twitter he was a DE that could kick inside, I thought that would fit what we want here.

I don't think he's going to be much of a DE at the next level.

To me he looks like a Rasheem Green sort of player. Just nothing special; certainly not worth a 1st rounder. I think Crow likes him in the 2nd, I wouldn't take him there either.

I just don't see enough upside. He's almost certainly an NFL player and may even get a 2nd contract with someone. But he's never gonna be a guy you WANT starting, IMO.

OL and DT's with a WR mixed in.

Assuming Sneed is resigned/franchised, and Jones let go. Would bringing in Hollywood/Ridley AND DJ Reader be feasible? Wilkins will probably only be a slight step down from CJ $$ wise. But I could see Reader being relatively more affordable.
