NFL Draft Call Your Shot: Who's the Chiefs first pick? - Page 4

staylor26 · 04-21-2023, 04:56 PM

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.

Darnell Wright. Trading up for a WR doesn’t fit Veach’s style, so we address the OT issue to solidify the O line. We can add another playmaker WR on Day 2.

As much as I'd like an EDGE, I think it'll be Harrison, OT. Who is the most important player on this team? One Patrick Mahomes and you do whatever you can to build an iron wall around him. Said Mr. Mahomes can make just about any competent WR a stud, not the other way around.

**PHOG** · 04-22-2023, 07:08 AM

I think he trades down a few spots, selects Harrison, and then uses that acquired pick and our 2nd to trade up and select whoever is (DE,WR) highest on their board.

CJ Stroud, I have nothing to lose

So is Zay Jones it's almost like it would take a trade up. You would need ammunition to do so like if you're a team that just won the SB, have ten picks but not ten needs.

Who?

Lol that’s what happens when I post five minutes after waking up. I’m leaving it to teach myself a lesson.

Vontae Mack no matter what

old_geezer · 04-22-2023, 10:39 AM

My thoughts: If the Chiefs decide to swing for the fences I think they trade up to get Flowers; If they stay put I think they will go with the best Edge available (and there will be more than one). I can't bring myself to believe that they are comfortable with Niang/Chief Winnabago so I see them moving up into the 20s to nab an OT and since everybody else is guessing Harrison I'm going with Dawand Jones. I would be happy with any of those scenarios.

ForeverIowan · 04-22-2023, 11:10 AM

I dont think Zay Flowers is going any higher than mid 20s at best...am I wrong? Id say there is a 95% likelihood one of these three are available at 31 if Veach is targeting a receiver: 1.) Flowers 2.) Addison 3.) Johnston. I dont think 4 receivers go in the 1st round.

Chief Northman · 04-22-2023, 11:24 AM

Anton Harrison.

Too much drop off at the position after him and Wright. Plug and play starter for years to come and you protect the best player in football at all costs.

I actually think the Chiefs will trade up in the second round to get a defensive lineman or receiver they like even if it costs them draft capital in 2024.

**TimeForWasp** · 04-22-2023, 11:27 AM

None of you have a clue, so why don’t you just have another CP circle jerk?

UChieffyBugger · 04-22-2023, 11:32 AM

Yeah it seems like the Anton Harrison pick is the one. But if him and Quinton Johnston are both on the board things could get interesting.
