Kelce is leaving soon. Chris will be declining soon. The 2022 draft window is closing.

This is really gonna be a draft of philosophy. Are the Chiefs going to continue being a defensive led team or will they go back to scoring again and having a competent defense?

Nobody loves Derrick Harmon more than me. I got a chub from that guy a week before the combine. But there are very good DT’s in rd 2 and 3. There will also be very good DE’s there too.

The defense today as it stands pre-draft is good. The draft itself is deep in our areas of need. The offense is not good and we’ve had issues with playmakers while our best one is about to ride off into the sunset.

I’m all in on Burden or a WR they love. I’m all in on Mason Taylor if they pick him. The drop between talent at 31 to 63 at those positions is pretty damn big, and this is coming from a Jalen Royals promoter.

They badly need to get this offense fixed. And if the board runs dry and you’re stuck with TreVeyon Henderson there, it would be a great pick bc he is head and shoulders above the rest of this class outside of Jeanty and would be a perfect fit here.

They have to help the offense. Help your QB. Stop relying on him to carry old, washed or bad football players every year.

I could not agree more. In a defensive draft, I think our focus needs to be on the offense. Get us explosive playmakers at WR, RB, and TE, which for TEs, may come with spending your 1st on. IMO there are 4 TEs that move the needle. Go get one. Henderson and Burden/Egbuka would also be hard to walk away from as well.
