Peter King Mock: heard a rumor that the Chiefs want to trade up

[staylor26]

for Ruggs if he falls into the twenties (not happening anyways).

Just thought it was interesting because it’s Peter King who’s reliable.

He has us taking Jeff Gladney

32. Kansas City—Jeff Gladney, cornerback, TCU

Craziest rumor of the first round: Chiefs want to trade up for Henry Ruggs if he falls into the twenties. Insane. Do they want every sub 4.35 guy in the National Football League? A couple of theories: There are only two very good cover corners in this draft, Okudah and Henderson, and they’d be long gone by the time the Chiefs could make a reasonable offer. Sammy Watkins is a short-termer, probably only one more year in KC, so another quick-twitch guy would fit either this year or next. Finally, fast guys with slight builds who collide with defenders tend to get hurt, so Ruggs would be good insurance for that in 2020 and a stalwart beyond that.

Anyhoo, the Chiefs’ biggest position of need right now is corner, and Gladney is a competitive and tough player who would fit in Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme.

Please rape on draft picks. In Vech we trust.

Is King still giving Fat Scott Hand Jobs? I mean he built the modern day Chiefs....

I'll be floored if they don't trade out of the first.

Peter King knew we wanted Peters when absolutely nobody else did. We were meeting with Peters days before the draft and he knew about it. Fact.

Who was the GM when we drafted Peters? Where were the leaks about Mahomes?

More irony is that I had to spell out the reason you're an idiot.

The fact that it was Dorsey doesn’t really change anything since it was still during Reid’s tenure.

The Chiefs haven’t even had a 1st round pick with Veach, so your assumption that something has changed since is baseless.

I know Andy is in charge in the end. It doesn't change my argument in the slightest.

I'd love it if they trade up. It's been on my mind.

This is Veach's first 1st round pick. He doesn't strike me as a guy content to sit at 32 and i bet he's itching to swoop up his guy, whoever that is.

I would not be surprised at all if the Chiefs trade up. This ain't grandpa's Chiefs anymore.

So you know a team trading up?

I don't think anything leaked from the Chiefs side. Now I think there is a chance that the Chiefs talked to teams in the 20's if we needed to move up what it would take.... That might have leaked and then people take some guesses on who they might be targeting.

But realistically i think it is much more probable they end up moving down then up.

We haven’t had a 1st round pick since Veach has been GM dumbass...

I dunno how many teams are really going to be interested in moving up at that spot and if one of a handful of guys does fall there is no reason to move back.

I hate things that people love to talk about, but have no real confidence of what they are talking about. Usually that is the NFL draft.

But this year, I will take anything I can get. I like macadamia nut, if you must know. Chocolate chip is overrated.

I agree.

Not only will there be a damn good player there, but one at a position of need. The 5th year option is really valuable for a team like the Chiefs. I'd have to get a decent haul to pass on it this year.

[Hoover]

We are not moving up in the draft.

We don't have enough draft capital the way it is. Now that all changes if we deal Jones.
