First round options?

Tons of factors to consider, but nothing is guaranteed that the Chiefs will be in a position to acquire more picks by trading down. The only generic factors working in their favour that can be confirmed are:

- 5th year option tied into a 1st round selection (has value)
- The multi-pick teams in Rounds 2-3 with a need to address the qb position come to mind here after maybe missing out on the top guys (Burrow, Tua, Herbert to a lesser degree)

And that’s all going to depend on if there any QBs available. There could just be no options until the 2nd or 3rd round anyways. Just screaming trade down doesn’t actually mean anything.
