Call Your Shot: Who will be the Chiefs first pick in the 2025 NFL draft?

[RunKC]

Worthy
Hollywood-hasn’t played a full season since 2021
Rice-suspension? Could take awhile to get back from the knee
Juju-knee issues, will likely miss time. Isn’t explosive anymore
Skyy-lmao
Ross-lmao
Thornton-could be a decent depth player but not a top 4 WR

Add that Kelce’s explosion is gone and he’s probably a decoy or zone beater at this point.

Yeah…WR is a huge need.

Yeah, I just don't get why folks look at our OL with 5 starters in place for 2025 and say OL is a huge need.

Then look at our pass catchers and say WR is a luxury item.

They both look VERY similar to me.

So take the guy with two knees and more talent...

Basically where I am at, if your confident in Moore and he was not a hasty desperation signing it really is not a position we need, the pick absent injury is not seeing the field. Now next year and year after yes. But can say the same if Kelce retires, Hollywood is hurt... while any wr will see some snaps.

Any DL pick will earn a ton of snaps.

Right.

The only way an OL sees the field a great deal this year for KC is injury. They could play next year by design.

Well Egbuka or Burden are going to contribute MORE to the healthy version of this team than an OL would this year. And would very likely ALSO be needed to contribute in a big way next year by design.

There's just not a viable 'need' distinction to be made here, IMO.

Yet many people are and it's talking them into taking a guy who's doing one-legged squats on draft day who's also touting the hyper-aggressive nature of the ligament replacement surgery he had to have as though it's a GOOD thing.

I really don't get it.

There is one thing I can guarantee you about Josh Simmons...he isn't playing a down in the NFL next season. So even if there are injuries, they aren't turning to Simmons next year. It's that bad and weird of an injury.

yeah. We don't NEED to do anything. We can go any of a dozen different directions and help the team now, and the future. It's a great place to be, if you have to pick #31.
