Call Your Shot: Who’s the Chiefs first selection in the 2020 Draft

[staylor26]

I’m going with Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

[Chieftain]

I would be very happy with Jeff Gladney at #32. This guy is a tenacious baller.

Imagine thinking Andy Reid -- who has never drafted a RB higher than 53 -- is going to trade for Fournette.

Never happen.

Why in the world should the Chiefs use a 1st round pick on a defensive end?

And PS: They don't have jackshit at running back so yes, they need a running back.

I don't know if this is relevant or not but Pat just started following top RB prospect Jonathan Taylor on twitter. I believe he's one of the few guys in the draft that Pat is following which is interesting.

As for Fournette. His rookie season HERE was outstanding imo. He's got power, speed, wiggle etc and is a breakaway threat plus good at getting short yard gains. People are belittling the guy but did yall know he's had two one thousand yards season in his three years in the league? And the season he didn't get a thousand was because he got injured and missed several games that year. With us he'd have empty boxes and I think he would cause mayhem in the backfield tbh.

Also rumors are Dez Bryant could be heading to KC or Dallas after the draft

We're getting indications that teams' accelerated investigation of the idea of adding @DezBryant ( #Chiefs ? #Cowboys ?) will most likely occur following #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/famZk4034v

Veach is clearly looking at WR

Or, we could draft our own RB and not have to deal with the remaining years of the top 10 draft pick rookie contract. Doing so would give us a RB who doesn't have the demonstrated attitude problems towards his coaches and GM (as big of a piece of shit as Coughlin may be) or the tremendous drop in efficiency and ability when he is fighting through those injuries. Even if Fournette is 100% (too risky to say) there are RBs in this draft that might end up being better than him.

I don't know what kind of troll genius threw out that Fournette idea in the first place, but whoever it is deserves to be kicked square in the balls.

I'm all for drafting a RB early...BUT, Fournette, when healthy, is an absolute nightmare to deal with imo and would be a very decent piece in our offense. Aswell as being a tough runner he also got 500 yards receiving last season too.

Of course Florio is behind this Fournette to KC

The Chiefs, whose leading rusher in 2019 had 498 yards, should be at the front of the line for Leonard Fournette https://t.co/0ZLcpWjrbd

Fournette sucks at pass catching so if he’s in the game defenses know it will be a run play

BJ Kissel is drafting for the Chiefs in a guest mock on the Locked On NFL Draft podcast.






That’s how the board has fallen. Will be back to let you guys know if he ****ed it up, which I’m sure he will.

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

Leonard Fournette might actually make the #Chiefs offense slightly worse.

Ick. That board wouldn't be the best for the Chiefs. There isn't even an appetizing QB available for a team to trade up for.

There are certainly suitable options for us, but none of the players I was hoping would drop made it to 32.

[Couch-Potato]

I don't love the idea of bringing in Fournette, he's not a perfect fit but he would make us better. I wouldn't give more than a 4th for him, and would prefer to draft our own guy.

We have 5 picks. None of those picks are worth the risks or the cost that Fournette would bring.

Since in this hypothetical situation you’re stuck at 32, it’s another situation that makes it really tempting to say **** you to everybody else and take D’Andre Swift and watch them shit their pants.

But I would probably take Jaylon Johnson, who I’m starting to think is right there with guys like Fulton and Gladney. He’s really ****ing good and a guy I think teams will be higher on than the media.
