This is a ridiculously stacked roster everywhere but CB, which is waaaay too thin.
Maybe, since you've already secured Berry, Abdullah, and Sorensen you do away with the safety in round 2 and go corner in Round 1 and tackle in Round 2. |

I like this draft a lot except I don't know the DL guys.

I wouldn't be upset going CB in the 1st and RT in the 2nd.

In an ideal world, the Chiefs fix the OL with the talent they already have on their roster and use rounds 1 and 2 to select a CB and another passrusher to back up Ford.

I guess in an ideal world....Grubbs returns to form, starting at LG, and allowing Allen to move to RT. Pughsley could fill in as the swing tackle. |

They need to find a guy that can play rt. I hate using an early round pick for that, but it is what it is.
I don't think they need to go into the draft with certain positions in mind. Just go full blown best player available and keep stacking depth everywhere. If the best player avail is a dl, do it. Wr, rushbacker, corner etc whatever. |

Our CB's look incredibly scary. Marcus Peters would be Our only CB with no serious questions heading into the season. I really hope we can do something to keep Sean Smith or bring a solid vet in.
But either way, the talent at CB in this draft is going to be insane. There's like 8 good CB's projected. 9 if you include Eric Murray. We might take one in the first 2 rounds just bc the talent is so good |

Also, some of these spots you've gotta be able to develop guys in house or guys you already have.
Such as rt or cb |

My thoughts...
1. You aren't fixing the right tackle position with anyone on this roster. You're far more likely to solve the guard issues. Also, the Chiefs will have a decision to make on whether or not to exercise the 5th year option on Eric Fisher at the end of next season. If he falters, having reasonable insurance may be a smart move. 2. I'd be pressed to believe Dorsey will go CB in the 1st in back-to-back years. If Gaines is 100% back from injury, he's going to start opposite Peters and Smith is history. If I'm a betting man, they'll look for another developmental player, like I show here, in round 3 or 4. My next bit will explain why I think S, and not CB, is a bigger priority. 3. There's a reason I've only targeted strong coverage safeties that can also give rather solid run support in my drafts: they are essential to Sutton's scheme. Abdullah is re-signed in this scenario, but he's more or less a placeholder until a rookie gets up to speed. Tyvon Branch is not as strong in coverage and I see Abdullah as a smarter player and more to be the mentoring type. Sutton employs 3 safeties in nickel coverage far more than he plays 3 corners. 4. Depending on what happens with the free agents at OLB, the Chiefs may have to spend more picks on depth there. However, I doubt Dorsey is going to run a guy up to the podium in the first two rounds for a backup pass rusher unless some stud falls into his lap. I'd put more money on him drafting a defensive lineman in the first two rounds than an OLB, especially given the quality of the players at 3-4 DE. 5. Give some tape a look-see on the defensive lineman. 6. I need a nap. |

I understand the importance of SS in Sutton's scheme but prior to the Draft, this is already your depth chart at safety:
Berry Parker Abdullah Sorensen All three guys can play SS if need be. There's no reason to torch a 2nd rounder on the position if you're bringing back everybody but Branch. |

Jeremy Cash is getting wrist surgery, idk if that affects his draft placement for you.

Not at all, probably to remove a bone chip. It doesn't really concern me with any player except for maybe QBs. One thing that worries me more about my placement of him is that Mel Hairper slid him up to his 2nd rated safety. That probably means there's a feeling he's going 1st round or very early 2nd.

Been thinking about some things... questions...
1. Give me some thoughts on drafting a mid-round tackle versus a high round tackle. I'm especially interested in some thoughts on UK OT Jordan Swindle (round 4). 2. Is it important to invest a high pick in a backup pass rusher? 3. Is CB as big of an issue as I've seen it made out to be with Peters and Gaines as the starters, Nelson with a year under his belt as the 3rd CB, and the likelihood that KC will at least invest a mid round pick on the position? That is, do the Chiefs really need to spend a 1st or 2nd round pick there? 4. Are you comfortable with the offensive guard situation if Allen is re-signed? 5. With Ron Parker set to make over 5 million in 2017 and over 7 million in 2018 and 2019 as well as the masses wanting to re-sign Eric Berry, which will likely cost 9-10 million per year, there will be future camp implications. Why should safety not be a priority thought given the need for time to develop draft picks? |
