Chiefs plan for the future... this pick assumes a franchise tag of Orlando Brown and no long-term deal. With a long-term deal, Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee would be the pick.

2.52 Keion White, DE, Georgia Tech
With White dropping down the board a bit, I move 63, 134, and a 2024 4th to go up and nab him. Perfect Spags DE and someone who offers more explosiveness opposite Karlaftis.

3.95 Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State
Reed's showing at the senior bowl has me intrigued.

4.122 Trey Dean III, S, Floria
Dean is a versatile, jumbo-sized S who profiles well in the slot. It would give the Chiefs some insurance for Sneed's role. Would need to believe Cook can handle more deep safety responsibilities for this pick to make complete sense.

5.148 Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
I move my fifth and a 2024 fifth to jump and grab him. I really like Mingo's ability as a developmental "big slot" option. He seems perfectly suited for the role Smith-Schuster played in the offense in 2022.

And I'll stop there. 6th and 7th rounds are still too choppy to put much time into them.

This draft would leave me searching for some DT help in FA, but I do like the what has been added to the OL, DL and WR room in this one.

Trey Dean III did not do himself any favors running that 4.7 40

I like parts of it. I'm a hard pass on Cody Mauch. Dude is a G.

Need more resources devoted to WR than this, IMO.

STRICTLY Best Player Available = BPA Draft.

Really hard to do because Naturally you want to fill the holes on the team.
Also amazing who was available and how it would look, actually did fit some of our needs but completely ignored a few positions I was hoping to fill.

No trades, was offered a few that looked good.

31
Brian Branch
S | Alabama Yeah, I know, Safety in the First? By far the BPA and a complete stud.
A
63
Will McDonald IV
EDGE | Iowa State Thrilled to see this one, at 63? Run to the podium!
A+
95
Zach Harrison
EDGE | Ohio State Doubling up at Edge but wow. Late round 3!
B+
122
Mike Morris
DL | Michigan SCORE!
A+
134
Mekhi Garner
CB | LSU Again, BPA this would be a huge infusion of defensive talent!
A

I only went 5 rounds as I havent spent enough time on the depth of this draft. Very interesting exercise, difficult to pass on players I am really hoping to land but if you stick to BPA you do get a hell of a haul!

Nope. I posted that before his 40. Probably drops him to Day 3.
