NFL Draft Call Your Shot: Who's the Chiefs first pick? - Page 6

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.

I don't recall any past fantasy island Veatch FA/trades. Not Watkins or Brown. Clark maybe or Honey badger for a few

Chiefs Biggest positions of need:

OL-For so many years chiefs drafted first round tackles to protect free agent QB’s
Now we have the world’s best QB. We lost our starting LT and signed a starting RT.

First rd pick should be a projected starter at LT guaranteed. Has to be.

DE or DT second round. whoever best falls or Chiefs trade up in second.

WR-I’m like many who want Hopkins, and chiefs draft his replacement by finding gem in 3rd round or later.

With Pacheco and the CEH poop the pants I think the chances of the Chiefs taking a RB with their 1st pick is somewhere between winning the power ball and getting struck by lightning while bowling.

True, but if we get Achane with our 2nd rd pick and use him a slot/RB/gadget player, I'd require several boxes of Kleenex's.

What did you have to trade to go up to 11 and pick at 30 as well

RunKC · 04-23-2023, 04:38 PM

I really think it’s going to be Quinten Johnston. That’s my gut feeling.

I wouldn't be so sure... Pachecco was awesome, but he was a 7th rounder for a reason. He's definitely not as good of a pass catcher as McKinnon. Glad to have him, love what he does, but he's not the complete package and is better in a committee. Imagine how amazing he would be as a change of pace back next to Bijan Robinson! CEH just hasn't worked out, 1st round expectations or not, and is rumored to be traded this offseason. But it is interesting that when Reid & Veach asked what Mahomes wanted with the 1st rounder after our last SB he requested a fast/shifty RB that he can pass catch in CEH. McKinnon was our #3 or #4 WR last year and is currently upset with our contract negotiations per Twitter. Gibbs is commonly compared to Kamara who gives you everything that McKinnon and Pachecco can in a single package, he's definitely fits the profile better than CEH ever did, but might also be capable of splitting out to WR as well. Reid would have endless creative options with a RB/WR like Gibbs.

I hope you don't get your hopes up too high on a 1st round tackle. Taylor is playing LT.

CoMoChief · 04-24-2023, 10:33 AM

I think they're trading up for WR Zay Flowers

Gibbs for the win!
