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.

Veach nails his UDFA too so this should be good

Yep. Agree 100%. People forget how bad the o line was at times last year

He’s saying it’s a rumor he’s heard, but he’s implying he doesn’t even necessarily believe it.

It’s pretty obvious that he’s not reporting it as fact.

When you're dealing in rumors, you don't have to believe something personally to report it.

No idea why he would take an issue with that tweet.

We fixed that issue.

I wonder if the Chiefs would have taken Gladney had he not been picked right before us?

Seems to me they were 100% CEH if he was available. At this point I think they would've taken CEH even if Queen was still on the board.

I think Reid and company pulled another smoke screen like they did with Paxton Lynch, lol.

I think this is 100% true. The meltdown would have been Chernobyl-like.
