I can't shake this scene from my head, for Thursday night:

1) The Chiefs trade up into the low-middle 20s
2) All the draft analysts/talking heads/Twitter explode talking about and speculating about them coming to get a T, probably Josh Simmons. Some will spew about Conerly, or Eirsery.
3) The pick will then be announced as either a DT or a WR
4) Everyone but Chiefsplanet denizens will be FLOORED

If we trade up to take Burden over Connerly or a DL, I’ll lose my mind.

The Athletic Football Podcast had us taking Tyler Booker at 31. I’d prefer that over trading up for Burden.

WR is not a position of need either for a functional starter or someone to be the top guy for the unit in a few years. DT is. DE is. OT is. RB is. Folks here might like Burden because he’s sexy and local, but it really doesn’t make sense if you believe Rice and Worthy will both be 1,000 yard guys.

Trading up to take Conerly over Burden would be like the worst thing they could do.

You should work for the Bengals. This is how they roll.
