If the Chiefs are trading up bigtime... why not Jordan Davis?

Because Ebiketie/Mafe and Wyatt/Jones would be more impactful overall than Davis on his own.

DL really is a function of its combined ability rather than individual greatness. And while a true monster can be a force multiplier like Aaron Donald, I just don't think Jordan is that guy.

Moreover, SOMEBODY was the engine on the GA defensive line. With Davis, Walker and Wyatt all on that line, at least one of them was a product of the rest of them. You willing to take the chance in trading up that it was Davis that was bringing up the rear? Because we saw how the Peppers/Sims gamble went when it was very obvious, very quickly that it was Peppers that made Sims look like an elite talent and not vice versa.

Nah - just not a risk I'm taking.

Jalen Carter is the best guy on that line, honestly, and I think the ONE guy other teams tried to account for at all times.
