Well, certainly.

But this class is loaded with players that could help the Chiefs immediately, so it would have been nice to head into this offseason with a full compliment of draft picks, if for no other reason than to use a 5th, 6th or 7th as ammo for trading up.

I still think there will be plenty of talent left at #32, and maybe even a QB, making a trade back and extra picks a real possibility.

People say these things every year, only to have the board fall very differently.

Diggs is a guy that I love/hate. He could be anywhere from 4-7 in my rankings. I just haven’t seen enough tape.

For me Diggs depends on his 40. As long as he's 4.50 or under I'd probably take him before Johnson, but it would be a coin flip.

I’ve said it before, but we’re getting 2-3 comp picks next year, so we can use some 2021 picks knowing we will get some back.

Yea that’s another issue with him. We didn’t see him run or anything.

Oh hell yes. Don't remember a draft with this much talent available from #32 through the end of the 4th. I would love to see us trade back about 10 spots and pick up an extra 3rd or 4th.

The Chiefs may indeed receive two comp picks next year but man, that's a risky move to make in the draft, especially knowing how the NFL has treated the Chiefs in prior years regarding Comp Picks.

I don't care what anyone says, a 6th rounder for the Super Bowl MVP is still the most absurd Comp Pick I've seen since the NFL began awarding them in 1994.

Nope, i don't like it over Edward Helaire.

To say he can't make something out of nothing was an overstatement, i meant to say "in comparison to these other backs"

I get it, he's got his fans. He's not a bad player. He's been hyped for years. I just think Helaire and Taylor will be better NFL backs.

I have Swift #1, but I could probably agree that CEH might even be a better fit in terms of what Veach/Reid typically look for.

HB J.K. Dobbins
I just see him as an ideal fit for our offense. He’s a stout workhorse, who can take some pressure off of Mahomes and keep the chains moving. Our running game has struggled mightily and not only would he improve the run game, but he’s also good in the passing game. Another dynamic Weapon for this offense will have us running on all cylinders, which helps the defense, as well. This kid should be lights out for us and keep DC’s up at night. I think we have a legit shot to get him and I think a move like that puts us in the driver’s seat for the foreseeable future.

While I'd rather see if we could get him in the 2nd, that's why I like Dobbins and Taylor better than Swift, CEH, and Akers - though I like all 3 of those guys. But they're all 3 basically younger versions of Damien Williams, whereas Dobbins - like you said - and Taylor are more workhorse backs. Guys who can run out the clock when we have a lead in the 4th. And both Dobbins and Taylor are more than competent receivers from what I've seen. Lots of RB talent in this draft.

Good post. I agree. I’d rather see us cement the running game and quit with RBBC approach.

Fair enough. That was absolutely bullshit.

In either event, I don't think the idea that you draft 'for need' at WR in Kansas City the year you need said WR stands up. You'd better be drafting a year ahead of your need at the WR position here. Reid's system is just too damn complex.

(But Higgins still isn't that guy)

I'd disagree. Would be absolutely stunned if we go WR with our first or second rounder. We likely start the year Vegas odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl. I dont think you burn a first or second rounder with the future in mind when you already have the best receiving corps in the league. Now if you want to draft a developmental receiver late in the draft so be it. Plenty of draft picks out there that can impact this years roster as well as the future. There is a time and a place to draft and build for the distant in lieu of immediate future but this year isnt it. Draft for both.
