All this media talk is just an educated guess, not really a leak IMO
Educated guessing:
John Dorsey has drafted for need with his 1st pick every year since he's been in KC. He has drafted for need the FOLLOWING year instead of the current one. It gives the draftee a year to learn from the player he is replacing.
Jones - Poe (Howard takes Poe's position, jones takes Howard's)
Peters - Sean Smith
Ford - Houston or Hali (contract stuff worked out though and we kept both)
Fisher - Albert
Alex Smith's contract doesn't end until 2019, but his salary cap number might be high enough that they could be looking to move on a year early. Alex Smith will gladly restructure though, I wouldn't count on it.
The other positions that have free agents next year are NT, CB and LB.
So if Dorsey sticks with his trend, our 1st pick will be taken from these positions: NT, CB, LB or maybe QB.
