Let's talk day 2

That tight end list really stands out to me. Some really good value at WR, some very good corners as well.

Go up and get Hyatt or Mingo

Guessing Foskey is off the board.

I’d love to see Rice or Mingo.

Get a wr if you aren’t targeting Hopkins

Need some interior dl help

Need a rb

Cody Mauch for RT.

Mingo, if we’re out on Hopkins.

If they're getting Hopkins, trade up for Benton.

I think we're sleeping on Tilman a bit. He was fantastic his Jr year injuries derailed him last year

DeHop in and Clyde out.

wr wr wr wr wr wr wr wr wr

Go up and get Benton and make that DL fierce...

With that, and I just posted in another thread for staylor's amusement:

There’s a lot of good receiver options tomorrow. I bet we trade up for Veach’s guy.

Luke Musgrave is only 22

I really want Hyatt but I just don't see how he makes it out of the first 10 picks in the 2nd round. I'd call it improbable at best.

If he made it to 43 I'd be itching to send 63/95/134 to the Jets to get him but that would go over here like a lead balloon.

If we want Benton we're going to have to move up too, I'd have to think.

My thought of Pickens in the 2nd might be a thing.

probably going to have to because there likely will be another run.

I wonder how far high up a 4th and 7th gets us.

Hyatt
Mingo
Tillman
Downs
Rice
Mims
Scott

This is where the value is at WR. Round 2. It was always going to be that way, we just got our hopes up about one of the top 4 WRs falling to 31.

7th's don't get traded much on draft day historically.

4-122 and 6-178, you could probably get from 63 to 51 or 52.
4-134 and 6-217 might get you to 55 or 56.

So those guys will have a rookie year like Skyy Moore? How do those guys compare to Skyy?

My point is I see a lot of those names being gone by our pick tomorrow, so we likely need to trade up if we’re targeting one.

I think they can wait and get one, because 7 aren't going in round 2, but I'd prefer they trade up for Mingo specifically.

Hyatt or Hopkins please.

Gentlemen, tomorrow we really hit the meat of this draft. I am hyped! Hoping for a DT and a wr tomorrow. Mingo is my crush but I doubt he’s there.

I have my heart set on Mingo but he is going to go early IMO.

I also like Tillman, Trey Palmer, Mims, Rice and even AT Perry.

In agreement they should trade up for one they specifically like, such as Mingo.

A lot depends on Hopkins and what the staff actually thinks of Niang.

If somehow Mauch or Jones are within striking distance, then those could be good insurance policies. If the staff is sold on Niang at RT and we don’t land Hopkins, then a minor move up for a WR makes sense.

I’m curious about DT. We need to keep Nnadi off the field. Benton is the dream, but maybe we’re targeting a couple mid-late round guys like Moro Ojomo or Jerrod Clark.

There’s so much mingo love that we’re all going to be heart broken when we get rice or Perry

I'd be happy as shit with both of those guys.

This x100000. I want Mauch so bad. With Felix, who I'm mainly only thrilled with because of how the first round fell, i feel like that would be a great first two picks.

I think Hyatt is the best receiver in the draft and if we can get him in the 2nd, then I don't care what happens with the rest of the draft because I'd be so happy with the first two picks. He ****ed himself with his combine performance. I really hope we trade up for him or another WR.

If they don't get a WR in round 2, then I'll still be happy with whoever Veach and Andy decide is worthy to be drafted. They've shown over and over that they have the best eyes in the league for talent in the draft.

I damn sure trust them more than the guys that throw fits on here because they didn't draft the guy who they thought was the best based on the highlights they saw on YouTube.

The Chiefs aren't getting Hopkins and even if somehow they did it wouldn't keep them from drafting or moving up for a guy they really like in the 2nd. A rookie WR isn't going to play much unless there is an injury anyway and Hopkins is old and only has 2 years in his contract.

Also agree with this, this is where the WR value is and I'm not convinced we need to move up.

I'm all for trading up for Hyatt or Mingo, but I think one of Rice, Mims, Tillman, or Scott will be there.

Mingo is my pick, and I hope we move up to get him. Just from watching film, and I think I saw two games, he looks like a younger, stronger JJSS. He makes tough catches, takes contact, gets yards after the catch, etc. He is never going to stretch the defense, but that's ok.

When I watch film on Jalin Hyatt, he makes a lot of plays deep, but it seems to be because he was schemed open or there was a blown coverage. But, I was just watching highlights, because although I watched the Tennessee Alabama game, I don't really remember Hyatt. What really stood out to me watching his highlights was how good the OC in Tennessee is, and how incredible Hooker's arm is, because unfortunately, the highlights I saw were mostly Hyatt being wide open. Maybe he did great work early, and that is why he was always so open, but the highlights didn't focus on that.

However, A.T. Perry could be a great value pick in the 3rd or 4th round, if he is there.

Also, I am just going to throw this out there, and I am probably an idiot, and I am high, but after watching lots of videos of WRs, if Reid and Nagy would like to create matchup problems, and maybe plan for a future without Kelce, I think we should draft Elijah Higgins, help him gain about 5-10 pounds of muscle, and move him to Tight End. He played at Stanford, so he is probably quite intelligent, and could really probably pick up everything Kelce puts down in the TE room and on the field. Also, because we have no shot at Luke Musgrave.

I want to trade up for Will Levis's GF or sister.

Both have good measurables.

And I'd honestly be fine with that second group of guys. I have no idea which of them makes it and which won't, just a crapshoot for me. I think all have the potential to be solid contributors but not elite WRs. That'd be fine I reckon.

Tyler Scott/Downs are WR fits here.

I'm willing to move up now for a weapon.

I like: Hyatt (probably goes in the next few picks, though)
Mingo, Rice, Tillman in the second
AT Perry, Mims, Scott in the third.

I'd love to trade our third to get high in the second, and then our two fourths to get back into the third if we could, but it takes trade partners.

I really think the second and third rounds are the best value rounds in this draft.

I think I'd take what's there at end of R2 if I'm honest, partly because I want to keep picks in the 4th for DT. But if we traded up for our guy, did the same again for a 3rd OT and then used some of the later rounds on run stuffers and BPAs, cool.

I like that TE out of Iowa if we don't trade up in the 2nd, OT Jones if we do. I'm sure the brain trust at 1 Arrowhead has visited with #15 about WRs. If he's happy, I'm happy.

If we stay right where we are, is Dell a reach?

I’d love to nab Musgrave today

What I want on day 2: A massive run stopper on the DL and a RT (Notice I said a RIGHT tackle). What I expect: A WR from a trade up. I don't care what actually happens because I'm pretty sure Veach knows a hell of a lot more about this draft thingy than I do. PBJ

Darnell Washington, freakish TE from Georgia if he makes it down to the 3rd round… would look good in a Chiefs uniform.

Mauch is a guard/center

Top wants for duncan_idaho:

1) Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
2) Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee
3) Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
4) Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse
5a) Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
5b) Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati
6) Keanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin
7) Sam LePorta, TE, Iowa
8) Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State
9) Blake Freeland, OT, BYU
10) Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State

I'm looking for an offensive weapon or a likely starter at RT, and I'm good with moving up to the middle of the second (and maybe moving up into the middle of the third behind that move) to do it.

Yes.

He's just so tiny. It's not just the lack of height, it's that he is so slight, too. I don't know that he's really any better/different a player than Tutu Atwell for the Rams. And Atwell is a full second faster in the 40.

I think he's a fair bit better than Atwell, but his size is a worry no doubt.

If rumors are true that KC was trying to trade up with Dallas for Mazi Smith, KC might try and get Keanu Benton in round 2. DT is definitely a roster weakness. I still can't believe they didn't re-sign Khalen Saunders. His play was ticking up last year.

A run stuffing DT is definitely a hole; however, it's not a difficult hole to fill. There are Pennel types available on the cheap all of the time. I'm not saying they won't get one, I'm just not sure that's a great thing to do early in the draft. Those guys usually take a couple of seasons to get NFL strength anyway. And as for pass rush from the DT spot, you've got Jones of course, Omenihu, and Wharton is apparently doing well in his rehab. So yeah, you need a run stuffer, but that's not an expensive spot to fill.

I really like this next tier of WR's, personally. Give me a Rice, Hyatt, Tillman, Mingo, or if they wait until the 3rd, Perry, Mims, Scott, or Palmer and let's roll.

And I don't think just because they were talking to Dallas that it means they wanted Mazi Smith; it just means that Dallas wasn't comfortable waiting until 31 to get their guy.

I read that as Dallas was concerned the Chiefs wanted Mazi, not that it confirmed the Chiefs wanted him, and they didn't want to take that chance.

Mingo or Rice.

I'm just not a fan of Hyatt anymore, and I liked him a lot early in the college season last year. However the more I watched him, the less I liked him.

I saw that as well, and it read that way, but I think there's an assumption leap being made there.

Kinda like Achane if he were to last.

I'd move some of those players around but that list looks good to me.

Benton

or

Hyatt*
Mingo
Perry
Rice
Mims
Scott
LePorta

I am a big fan of Benton and think he would be a great add.

He's smaller and slower.

Would love to see your order.

I'll admit I've become a Mingo knob slobber in the last week or two.

I guarantee you that Gervon Dexter is high on the Chiefs board...

1a) Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
1b) Keanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin
2a) Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
2b) Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
3) Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee
4) Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State
5) Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State
6) Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati
7) Sam LePorta, TE, Iowa
8) Blake Freeland, OT, BYU
9) Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse

I think there are better OTs that should be there in the 3rd like Wanya Morris, so I'm not super high on Freeland or Bergeron in the 2nd. I'm also prioritizing weapon unless it's a guy like Benton.

There's going to be a CB run, there's going to be an interior OL run, TE's sprinkled in so you have to hope someone falls.

Bergerons upside is he could probably play right away.

Then I guess we'll find out how comfortable they are with Niang and Prince.

Honestly, if you can come out of the first two rounds with FAU and anyone of these guys....I'd be pretty ****ing happy.

Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
Keanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin
Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee
Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State
Rashee Rice, WR, SMU

Hyatt is overhyped here. I fully expect to see him available mid way through the 2nd, and wont be surprised to see guys like Mingo and Rice go before him.

The more I look at what's available and the board, the more I think the Chiefs end up using 63, 95, 122, 134 and a 3rd or 4th in 2024 to end up with a pick around 50 and a pick around 70... and end up with 2 of WR/DT/OT.

Dude now that it's the 2nd round...I know people would hate it but if we could get Mayer? ****.

Mayer is the epitome of being a good player that does everything well without an elite trait kills you on draft day.

No. **** off.

Sure and he'd fit in perfectly here. Talk about extending Kelce's career by a couple of years.

LMAO

Benton is my dream pick for the second round given how this fell.

Another big time young piece at a position of need. DL is all about depth, and he would fit right in.

Agreed that Mayer would be nice fit. I’d love to feel good about TE post-Kelce.

Man, I'd love to see us move up to add Joey Porter Jr.
Sneed + McDuffie + Porter = ridiculously good CB corps. Our secondary would be absolutely incredible.

If you draft Porter though you kinda **** up the payscale and all that because you have a high pick that is your 5th CB or you're telling a dude that was good enough to play on a SB team he's benched.

Mayer would be an interesting fit for sure.

He would free up their usage of Kelce, let them basically slot Kelce into the "large slot" role Smith-Schuster filled last year. Which is fun.

Yeah and it's not like Mayer is a slouch as a pass catcher either. He's no Kelce but nobody is.

I could see us going with DT, OT or WR in 2 and 3.

Go get ****ing Mingo so I can masturbate furiously.

I see us drafting a future HOFer no matter what position they play.

This.

And Dawand Jones is too much like OBJ. I don’t see them taking an OT in the 2nd but who knows. I was sure they wouldn’t take one in RD1 and that turned out to be right.
