Yeah I think it's fallen much better for us to fix DL long-term. We do have needs at RT, WR and S but I don't know there are half as many options there. I'd have to think 2-3 picks along the DL as a minimum. If he gets it right we can really round out our D.

I also love the D-Line class.
I really wish KC didn't need an OT and have a likely secondary need at WR. It's not that you can't get a RT in the 3rd round, you can, but it's harder than the 2nd round. It's an inexact science to expect anything from day 3. That's a nice spot to get a couple of developmental guys but you're probably not going to get an immediate starter. If Veach is serious about the long-term of the defense and keeping it young, then maybe they just bring in a vet WR again on the cheap and re-sign Wylie and OBj. I dunno. I don't love the idea but it sure plays well with the talent in this draft. |

It's just not smart. And no, I'm not confident in any plan that would include rolling with Niang and a day 3 rookie. That's asking for catastrophe. |

I don't think they thought Moore was going to get a ton of snaps as a rookie; that's why they tried him at PR. They wanted him to get in the flow a little and get used to the speed of the NFL, but they knew with 4 veterans ahead of him, he wasn't going to get a ton of snaps at WR. If you keep MVS, re-sign Watson on the cheap and I think Hardman takes a team friendly one year deal to try and enter FA with a season of healthy production, you're in good shape with Moore taking more snaps in the mix there. And there's Toney, of course. perhaps a targeted off-season of training can keep him on the field. I think you absolutely CAN devote this draft to shoring up the DL and still take an OT in the first three rounds. |

My favorite draft scenario involves a couple of quality defensive linemen falling to us early:
1st - DL Byran Breese falls to us to play as a 3-down lineman next to C Jones and we double down on our deadly interior DL 2nd - DE Tuli Tuipuluto, Andrew Carter, or Isaiah Foskey falls to us in the 2nd and we grab one of them up to rotate in as designated rusher and F Clark's eventual replacement. Maybe take 1 or 2 depth guys later in the draft...I like Fehoko, Young, Incoom, Diaby, Simmons, and Caleb Murphy. We're already the #2 pass-rush in the league, hard to improve on that unless we us premium picks to do it. Last edited by Couch-Potato; 02-26-2023 at 07:55 AM.. |

A big reason I like the idea of picking up Gaines in FA is it opens up the draft a bit, especially to a scenario of DE/RT or RT/DE in 1/2 which would fit the Chiefs' most glaring needs best. If they have to go into this needing a NT, DE, and RT on top of wanting to add another young WR to the mix, it's going to get difficult.

Yep, I get it. I just think this DL needs multiple picks and even with a million this year we may need more. If we partially upgraded DL and went something like DE, RT, WR, S then it'd be fine by me. But I know I'm going to hate burning that second on an RT given what I think we'll pass up.

There’s some reporting that Hardman may still have a market, injuries be damned. The WR market is legitimately that bad.
I’m obviously biased, but I think his best move is to take a JuJu deal here and then go get paid. But given how bad the market is, he could legitimately get paid right now. |
