If Walter Nolen slides due to work ethic issues I think you get him. He’s a Jalen Carter type of talent. Proly top 10 player in this draft.

"The Experts" take an offensive lineman for the Chiefs in the first round every single year.

Maybe this year they'll finally get it right...

Nolen is worth a small trade up if he starts to slide. He’s going to be a hard player to deal with for many years to come. Only 21 years old…and was dominate even coming in as a Freshmen.

What if Nolen slides, Scourton is sitting there and Conerly is available?

What would YOU do?

What will the Chiefs likely do?

As I have said before...what makes this fun is all the speculation on what Veach, Andy and the Chiefs will end up doing.

So many varied opinions on here that there is no way that someone won't be frustrated and say that the Chiefs made an incorrect choice.

Field offers to trade down. If you have several guys that you'd love to have, you can trade down a little and get some extra draft capital and still have a guy you'd love to have waiting when it's your turn. As long as there is a willing trade partner in the right spot.

The Chiefs need to trade down. Not at 31 unless someone overpays for it. Thinking at 66, 95 or 133.

Need pick in rd 5 and 6. Outstanding year for it

The Athletic Mock (Nick Baumgardner) has the Chiefs taking Donovan Jackson in the 1st round with Starks, Burden, Nolen, James Pearce and Scourton still on the board.

Why? Presumably because that clown put Jackson in as their pick back in February and just hasn't bothered to go back and update anything. He had Simmons and Conerly go earlier and had already decided that the Chiefs were taking an OL so he just took whoever he had left on the board when their pick came up.

The 'experts' know ****-all.

Yeah - let's just give up the 5th year option and our ability to pick the guy we want the most (hoping the leftovers work out for us) so we can grab an extra pick in the 3rd day.

Gross.

As I've said before, the 5th year option on 1st round picks is not a secret. Every GM in the NFL knows all about it. If the Chiefs entertain offers to trade down, the value of the 5th year option on that pick will be priced into any offer. If it is not, then the offer would probably be declined.

The talent level of the draft declines rapidly in the first round as reflected in the point values of picks in the draft chart. The likelihood of getting a star at the end of the 1st is substantially less than at the beginning. Not every player taken in the 1st has that 5th year option exercised. We didn't exercise it on Edwards-Helaire and there are many other examples across the NFL. The mere existence of the 5th year option for 1st rounders is no reason to refuse to trade down from the 1st round.

The experts also root for certain outcomes.

They find some fit they love between a player and team, then rework the draft to find a way for it to happen.

That alone blows the entire mock draft up.

Nothing will ever top Collinsworth having us take Hendon Hooker in the first round.

Chad Reuters new mock has the Chiefs trading up in the first rd for Ersery LMAO

But don’t worry! He makes it better by taking … RB Dylan Sampson in the second!

I guess there’s merit to this. So who is the name that pops up the most among the experts on this board?
