Terez Paylor's Chiefs' Draft Needs
Positions needed: RB, G, C, LB, CB Analysis: The defending Super Bowl champions head into 2020 with a motto of “run it back,” and the team’s offseason plan has reflected that. Kansas City re-signed several key players from its championship team, betting on continuity in a COVID-19-affected season as the Chiefs currently have everyone who played at least 57 percent of the snaps last season under contract for 2020. That doesn’t mean there isn’t room to strengthen the roster. Offensively, the Chiefs are powered by an explosive offense guided by Mahomes, but there’s a need to bolster the interior of the line to grow with Mahomes and help protect him for the next decade. Beyond that, Super Bowl hero Damien Williams returns to man the running back position, but he’s in a contract year and the team could draft a young back and groom him to take the reins in 2021. Defensively, the Chiefs need second-level help — a sideline-to-sideline linebacker with skills in pass coverage could carve out an immediate role — while the cornerback position would also benefit from the infusion of a top-100 draft pick. And with Mahomes’ massive extension looming, don’t be surprised if Kansas City entertains a trade down in the first round in an attempt to stockpile more cost-controlled assets. |

When I look over the possible options, I think the best option would be to move down.
Just don't think there's much of a dip with talent at the spots of need going from 32 to say...the mid to late 2nd round. |

I don't really put much stock in what the bozos at CBS Sports and SI have to say but it's been a fairly common theme throughout to see Dobbins go the Chiefs at #32. But considering these sites are nearly always wrong about every pick, whether it's 1-10 or 11-250, I don't put much, if any, stock into their reports. Peter King is usually reliable but he has extensive contacts and generally only publishes his mock the week of the draft. All of the other guys are just guessing to the best of their ability, which is generally pretty poor. |

I could see them moving down to 33-40 but anything past that would require a 2nd round pick in 2021, at the very least, in addition to multiple 2020 picks. |

I wouldn't mind moving down with lets say the Jets for 48 and 79.

I think there will be a lot of teams in the late first that will be looking to sell. Gonna be hard to leverage value.

What would be the target at that point? I think you can slide down quite a bit and still land either Akers or Dobbins. I'm not high on Delpit like others are. Corner depth is absurd. I'd probably do it. |

5th year option is way more valuable than sliding down that far.

If we trade down it’s going to be for a discount. The good thing is, if a few trades happen before our pick, somebody exciting could fall into our lap unexpectedly. |

Tua scored a 13 on the Wonderlic test.
I wonder if that will accelerate his fall? |

Eason and Hurts are players teams want to get a 5th year option on, but the problem for us is that 2 of the teams that reportedly have strong interest in Hurts are in our division.

Drafting a RB in the first round would be foolish. Andy can turn chickenshit into chicken salad. I do agree that a RB needs to be drafted in the top 100 but not the first round. Edwards-Helaire can be had in the 2nd round. Go with the best available at LB, CB & IOL. Murray Queen Henderson Fulton Diggs Dantzler Igbinoghene Ruiz
