Call Your Shot: Who's the Chiefs first pick?

[DJ's left nut]

Veach will try to move up, the cost to get to 16 will be too steep, the teams from about 17-20 won't deal with KC and by 22 and beyond the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

So the Chiefs stay put at 32 and take Jordan Morgan, OT - Arizona.

This… if there is a receiver you really want trade up in the 2nd. If we could get that 39 pick rom Carolina you might have a shot at several 2nd tier WRs.

I don’t think Morgan fits their idea of a LT… arms aren’t long huh enough.

I feel like there’s no need to trade up. We’re not desperate and we’re not a player or two away from the Super Bowl.

If anything we trade back to acquire more picks.

There's nothing "desperate" about trading up if there's somebody that we love. And we actually are exactly a player or two away from the Super Bowl. We just went to the Super Bowl that we won in OT, and then we lost a couple of good players.

Last year around this time, Veach said there was someone in this draft they loved.

I 100% agree. I don't really understand the notion of saying we're not a team that is 1 or 2 players away. I think a team that has been there like us, consistently, is usually 1 or 2 players away from being there again. A team that hasn't been in the playoffs or is in a reset of sorts (a la Buffalo) is the type that maybe wouldn't be as apt to throw caution to the wind and go for broke on a superstar/stud. Teams like them need to fill multiple holes.

We have two really glaring holes... sure we need to always address depth but we don't need to fix it all right now. We're talking about going for a f'n 3-peat. If it costs me a 2nd and future 3rd to go up and get A guy, I'm going for it.

I was looking specifically at this list of players yesterday and thought to myself, no matter what we do in terms of going for broke for a guy, there's still options out there elsewhere to backfill with:

RB Boston Scott
RB Matt Breida

WR Tyler Boyd
WR Mecole Hardman
WR Odell Beckham Jr

OT Donovan Smith
OT Mekhi Becton
OT/G Andrus Peat

CB Adoree Jackson
CB Akhello Witherspoon

Move up for Fautanu or Thomas and worry about the rest as it comes. That's my 2 cents.

If they do trade up, it's not out of desperation.

[Womble]

I think we stay put and draft Legette as an MVS replacement. If Veach thinks he can get his guy in early-mid 2nd round we'll trade down.

[Jerm]

Brian Thomas Jr.

[KC Hawks]

I think we'll trade up for Mims.

[Tribal Warfare]

If it's a trade up it'll either be Olu Fashanu or Mims

If they stay at #32, it'll either be Mitchell or McConkey

Furthermore, the Chiefs do stay at #32 and select a WR, IMO they'll definitely trade up for a potential LT Patrick Paul or Kingsley Suamataia

[RunKC]

Yeah Brian Thomas Jr is gonna go in the teens and I don’t think we’ll be able to pull off a trade that high.

I’m thinking a trade up for Tyler Guyton who is the ideal LT type and most scouts think he’ll have no problem playing LT.

[RedinTexas]

I'm thinking the Chiefs will trade up, but not in the first round. There will probably be several decent WR still available at #32. We'll then trade up in the second round. Maybe with Arizona at #35. The Cardinals have pick #4 and pick #27 so we'll give them a 2025 pick as part of the compensation since they'll have already picked their biggest needs and with 11 overall picks will be willing to move a pick or two to next year's draft.
