Call Your Shot: Who's the Chiefs first pick?

[staylor26]

RunKC pulled the trigger early, and many weren't ready to make that call, so that thread just turned into a mega thread. This is the OFFICIAL thread to call your shot, so let's hear it.

I'm going with Felix Anudike-Uzomah, EDGE, Kansas St.

He fits a need. He's 21 years old (Veach loves drafting 21 year old rookies). Local guy. Intelligent (Veach noted how important that is for them in yesterdays PC) and has been described by scouts as a "savvy" rusher. He checks most of the boxes for the Spags prototype except he's just under 260 at 255. Excellent 3 cone, and he can bend, which I think this defense is missing.

He probably wouldn't be my first choice, but definitely on my short list.

Torn between:

Felix Anudike-Uzomah, EDGE, Kansas St.

Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College

Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee

and

Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan




With that being said..

Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan

[TLO]

Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College

You're on probation. :P

My official call is...

the Chiefs are going to move up a little and take Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma.

It's not the move I've been pining for but it's just how I feel after listening to Veach and the current makeup of the OLine.

My feeling on the top 3 rounds is 1. OT Harrison 2. WR Rice 3. DT Pickens.

[ForeverIowan]

Darnell Wright or Broderick Jones.

Nothing is more important than keeping Mahomes healthy. I just don't see the Chiefs heading into a 17+ game season trusting Niang to be a full time starter at tackle.

Poll?

I was going to go Felix as well, that's my hunch. But if I need to be original I'd say a slight trade up for Murphy.

I actually think OT, right or left, is the only position on the team where a starting position might be up for grabs. DT next to Jones is debatable, but a 3rd or 4th round DT might be just the ticket at DT too.

For me, taking a OT in the 1st makes a of of sense.

But so does an edge like Nolan Smith, who is not a clone of the other guys we already have on the team. A change of pace edge. Chris Jones sliding out to the LDE spot, and Smith on the RDE spot with Karlaftis and Omenihu sliding inside makes me smile at this point in April.

And I am good with a WR early too. So many choices. All pretty good.
