Bout that time fellas. Post all things combine related

If you want a starting LT you're talking about trading into the top 15.

After watching the entire Combine, you gotta think the Chiefs have Jalyx Hunt circled on their wants list.

What would it take to get him? A 3rd? A 4th?

No you don't.

Someone has to drop.

There are 4, maybe 5, maybe even 6 QBs that get taken in the first round.

At least five and as many as 8 WRs (Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Thomas, Mitchell, Worthy, McConkey, Franklin, Coleman).

4-5 CBs (McKinstry, DeJean, Arnold, Wiggins, Mitchell, Fakestraw, Lassiter)

At least 3 OTs (Fashanu, Alt, Mims)

Brock Bowers

That’s, at minimum, 18 players and up to 22 players and we haven’t even touched DE, DT, LB, S, or IOl.

And with guys like Fautanu and Suamaitaia and Guyton and Fuaga, there will be options at T. Or, if all those guys go, options at WR.

It’s a good draft and a deep draft, especially at the positions the Chiefs need most. It’s also a good and deep draft at the positions the chiefs need least (QB, CB).

If Bowers starts to slide into the mid teens...I'd be awfully curious about trading up for him...

First time I really watched a lot of the combine and thought it was done very well on NFL Network.

Some pretty good stuff. I was most amazed by the wingspan of the Georgia player. Guy can flap his arms and fly.

McConkey's kid looked good.

Some real physical specimens and even some of the non-glory QBs performed well.

Chiefs don't currently have the ammo to trade up

They will after the Sneed trade...

Any draft that has 4-6 QBs that could go in the first round is good for us. Players who typically wouldn't make it to the end of the first will be there for us.

We're going to get a quality player at the end of the first. I'm leaning towards not taking a WR in one, unless someone we really love falls to us. I think there's some good quality that will be there for us in the second.

At the end of the day KC needs a long term solution at LT. They can’t keep bringing in rentals to do it. It is fascinating to read that there are no franchise LTs at the end of the first round so pass on them. Then suggesting that the current solution to the LT problem is to either move a career RT to LT or plug a 3rd rounder there (who isn’t elite due to where he was drafted).

Mahomes is great, but the Christmas Day game against the Raiders should show that despite how good he is, he still needs protection especially on his blind side.

KC can and will upgrade at WR this year through the draft and FA. That’s a position that will upgrade easier than LT.

You're probably gonna have to develop one, trade for one, or trade up.

Just keep taking toolsy guys in the mid rounds and see what happens.

Trading for an established LT will be tough without giving up the farm for. Trading up might be possible depending on what they get for Sneed. I would much rather them trade up for a LT and develop him with Morris being a swing tackle as a backup.

[RunKC]

Bills met with WR more than any group at the combine. Yeah they’re definitely going to draft one in the 1st

I would say this is the draft to move into the 20s to get one. We're going to be picking at 28+ it seems for the foreseeable future. Might as well get one now and cost controlled. Then you have the two positions that are normally top 15 or bust, QB and LT. Normally its a top 15 type pick. This year you may luck out with a top 25 pick for that kind of talent. We've proven two years in a row that we don't have to have a top 5 wr to win. Sign one solid free agent and draft a guy in the second.
