First Round Targets

[DJ's left nut]

As I run these mock drafts, the guy I'm typically settling on is Ojulari and occasionally Hyatt.

I think I'd be fine with either of those guys. They present some real explosive potential on both sides of the ball and both have the potential to be real dynamic complementary players for us.

Do you worry that we just keep running into "complementary" type guys with where we're picking though?

At some point some of them need to turn into build around guys.

Both of those guys have tremendous upside. I think you're reading too much into "complementary". I think he's referring more to their immediate impact.

That's the nature of picking at the back of the 1st.

A little bit. I don't think Hyatt is a likely do everything #1 WR type, but I think w/ Kelce and Toney and maybe another possession WR, Hyatt's skill-set fits really well. And ultimately I think that's probably how we're going to continue building our offense going forward. We want to give Mahomes a variety of weapons and styles to use.

Defensively, I see Karlaftis as the 'necessary' SDE in a Spags scheme where Ojulari can be a guy who plays well off the attention that Jones draws and the relentlessness of Karlaftis. And the two of them will present different aim points that opposing offenses have to deal with.

I don't see 'complementary' as a perjorative. It just means they fit well with our surrounding players. Would it be nice to find the next Chris Jones who draws attention and still dominates? Yup. But there's as much luck as there is skill involved there.
