I would prefer a WR, but I imagine it will be a DB. I will guess either Fulton or Mckinney

Justin Jefferson

I feel like Ravens or Packers will take Queen. I’m going with Willie Gay jr.

But just imagine his name and KPass on the same team.

at pick 38, Noah Igbinoghene.

or with pick 21 YOUR KANSAS CITY CHIEFS select CB Jeffrey Gladney from TCU

A lot of mocks have Murray falling, so I’ll go with him

Which I don't understand, if anything I thought that video of his interview with Jerry Jones would solidify him going high.

That's exactly what they said to Rutherford and his students.

Call Your Shot: Who’s the Chiefs first selection in the 2020 Draft
 

It will be a WR, LB or CB.

I am no expert like a lot of you guys but I would say best MLB available

I want it to be Patrick Queen but I just think he’ll be gone. But shit I’d trade up 4-5 spots to secure him if the opportunity was there. Those types of LBs are just so important nowadays.

If we could stack Queen with a 2nd round CB like Bryce Hall or Jeff Gladney (I know, probably won’t be there), that’d put our defense in a position to be very, very good.

But I still would love to see IOL addressed with a sure starter.

Queen or Gladney.

I don't think the pick will be a shocker - the board will dictate it. There's gonna be a surprising slide or two and Veach will be there to scoop him up.

I don't think he trades out because I don't think there will be a rush to get to that pick. Too many unknowns w/ the wonky draft structure so I think confidence levels will be too low for a squad to be willing to give up much more than a 4th to move into that slot and I don't think Veach will move down for a mere 4th rounder. He'll throw away 4th or 5th round picks on flyers or small trade-ups; he clearly doesn't put a ton of value on those last day picks so why would he suddenly reverse his ordinary course and accept one to move back? He'd move if the value is there (3rd or better) but I don't think it will be.

I don't think he'll reach for a guy like Terrell or Igbinoghene (who both strike me as the 'CP Climber' types we see each year; guys who likely go far later than we expect and who we've overvalued here based on perceived team need).

I don't think Murray plays with the edge they want to see at LB, though I could see a situation where they take him as a 3-down Will and pull their Mike off the field in passing downs.

I don't think Gladney will fall, though I think they really like him and I HOPE he will. I think Fulton's in the same boat.

Too much depth at IOL for me to be excited about Ruiz in the 1st and I think Veach's trade up/selection of Breeland demonstrates his tendency to 'tier' guys and try to avoid targeting positions where there's remaining depth within his tier.

Granted, that would seem to rule out Queen (with Murray, Gay, Harrison and even Brooks as alternative) but I think he'll have Queen in his own tier and this year's class just doesn't have the buzz around the top off-ball LBers that last year's did with White and Bush.

And I just cannot convince myself that Veach would be reckless enough to take a RB. Those guys are going to slide big time and there are a LOT of them.

EDIT: AJ Epenesa is also a possibility. Lack of standout athleticism could have him sliding a bit and he'd be a great bookend opposite Clark. He's the prototype of those kind of 'grinder' productive lineman that the Patriots made their living on picking at the back of the 1st while everyone else was chasing the high upside Rashan Gary types who turn into bums more often than not. Lot of Rob Ninkovich kind of potential there to just be steady as the sunrise for a long time.

That goes without saying, I just don't see first round talent when I look at the tape on Ruiz. Doesn't mean he won't go in the first, but it'll be a reach.
