There's a good chance that a guy like Fautanu, Mims, or Thomas Jr. slips into that range. When certsin positions are that deep, guys tend to fall lower than they should.
If the Chiefs have one of the LT’s highly graded and they are still there at pick 22, Veach better be calling.

I’d trade a 5th this year, our 2025 2nd and even our original 2025 3rd if it meant we got our guy (would still have 2 picks in top 75 of 2025 draft).

LT is the 2nd hardest position to fill for a reason. Getting one cheap for 5 years opens up a hell of a lot for us.

Ummm the entire purpose of trading up would be to avoid this.

Remember who’s on the other side of this conversation

If it’s a legit plug and play LT, sure.

Those guys usually gone top ten.

I feel like the most likely move is moving up for an LT. It’s our biggest hole. 5 years of high quality rookie contract LT play would be a critical part of Mahomes and Veach dominating/finishing out phase 2 of his career. It would also be huge for the transition when Reid and Kelce depart after the next 1-3 years.

It’s just… that’s the move to make this year, if there’s a guy they like.

Troy Fautanu can 100% come in and start day 1 at LT.

Mims might struggle a little bit early on, but his upside is absolutely worth the swing.

It would have to be one of those 2 IMO.

Yup. Good WR’s are vastly easier to find than LT’s. Rice was a 2nd rd pick and Hollywood only cost $7-11 million.

These older tackles are big risks. Donovan Smith was injury prone and had a neck injury. We’re lucky he didn’t get hurt during the postseason.

It’s not sustainable to keep going down that path

But what about alphas?

Uh, McDuffie already is one.

If we don't win the Super Bowl this year, it's not gonna be because we didnt keep Sneed. It'll very likely be for other reasons.

Chiefs have found 1 good WR in the draft in 6 years.

Maybe not as easy as you say it is?

Fautanu-Ok, then how are we going to be in position to get him?

Mims by your description doesn't sound different than similar talents in the 2nd round.

Usually don't spend 1st picks on projects.

I meant the Super Bowl we just won. We needed both corners to win it I believe

Feels like really poor compensation on the trade but I think there was an element of the organisation doing right by their player who has earned a relative pittance compared to his play in his 4 years as a Chief and will surely go into the ring of honor after retirement.

Would have loved to keep Sneed long term but I am still going to want him to be successful except when facing KC.

What people miss from that game is Josh Williams was lock down, he was in Aiyuk several times and blanketed him.

Sneed's a really good player, no doubt. We still have a loaded secondary, and IF they bring back Danna (or a comp player), the only big missing piece is the one spot where we're stacked with good young talent.

Combined with an offense that just added a legit WR, year two of Rice, which should have the defense in better position than they often did this year, and yeah, I think it's a top 5 unit.
Fair enough, appreciate the thoughts. I am sure it has been said in this thread, but if this was a 24 3rd and 25 7th swap, everyone would be happy. The wait sucks. Will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next couple of years.
