That's the bare minimum since 34 inch arm length is the average for NFL starters

There's a very, very good chance that the Chiefs can draft a WR that will make an immediate impact at #31 but the OT's at that point are all similar in that none of them are "clean" prospects that will be ready to compete at the necessary level in Week 1. I'd really hate to see them pass on Marshall or Batemen in favor of a tackle who needs serious development in order to be a competent starter. |

I don’t think they’d go below 33”, but I don’t think a half inch, or even an inch, is that big of a deal when you’re talking about a guy with elite athleticism AND strength. |

Not everyone is an outlier

Not everyone checks every other box like he does physically.
You’re talking about a guy with TE athleticism that put up 36 reps on the bench. He IS an outlier on paper. The Chiefs aren’t just going to ignore that because of a half an inch. It doesn’t mean they won’t possibly like somebody like Leatherwood more who has the desired arm length too, but Cosmi is exactly what they’re looking outside of half an inch. |

I just don’t think the Chiefs go WR in the 1st when it’s all said and done. I hope I’m wrong though. I will say this, I think the best chance of it happening is Bateman falling into our lap. |

Yeah, I think the main reason they don’t go WR in the first is because this class is deep.

That’s why I think we’re looking at OT or DE at 31. |

I really think you guys need to keep Asante Samuel Jr in mind. He is an ideal Spags chess piece and could start right away. He can play inside and outside. So much value to be had from that kid. That’s assuming that DE is bare at 31, which I think is going to happen. I could see receiver too, but ideally we trade down about 7-8 spots and get Dyami Brown, who I think would kill it in this offense.

They may be stuck though. If thats the case, just take the best player on your board and sort it out later. Get a T in round 2 I guess. I'd rather trade up for a LT, but I don't think it's feasible. |

I think we're going to see them go DB in the 1st with DE, WR, and OT being 2nd-4th in no particular order. |

I don't understand using picks like that when the only way to get a really top notch prospect is to give up a haul and the guys you're getting with a reasonable trade up aren't really that much better than the guys at 31. This just isn't the right draft to trade up for a LT. Its kind of like 2013 and looking for a QB. |

I could see a trade back, maybe. But I think a trade up is more likely than standing pat and taking a DB.

Just listened to Paul Alexander on Moving the Chains on my way home from work. Par Kirwan asked him what his top three things he looked for in all the criteria that is available for OT's.
#1 was arm length, and if arm length wasn't there, their recovery skills on tape needed to be there. #2 was bench press. If they can't bench over 20 reps, it shows more about commitment than anything else. #3 is the 40 time. If you can run at the size these guys are, you have to be athletic. Paraphrasing a bit, as I was listening to the radio. |
