It feels like they needed something now and pulled that trigger bc you never know what will happen in the draft.
I will say that Conerly and Simmons (if he’s cleared medically) are better options than what we’ve seen recently from tackles in the late first rd minus Anton Harrison.
Last year the insane run of QB’s, Bowers and tackles pushed studs like Jared Verse, Dallas Turner and Laiata Latu down the board. It feels like the inverse could happen with a ton of DL, a couple of TE’s, some corners and QB’s. Mocks have shown around 9 DL picked before 31 and so did the CP mock.
One last thing to keep in mind: who needs a LT after the Bears? Maybe the Packers? The Texans if they choose to address it and redshirt a prospect? Anyone else that hasn’t put a big asset recently into that position or already have their guy?
Feels like a damn near lock that one of Simmons or Conerly will be there for us.

I think so too, and I think the Chiefs probably knew this when they signed Moore.
I haven't believed for a second that they would take a RB, but what other position have the Chiefs done less to address?
OL? Added Moore. Moving Kingsley over to LG. Tagged and possibly re-signing Smith.
DL? Re-signed Omenihu. Added Tillery who is a minor drop from Wharton at worst.
WR? Brought Hollywood back.
Elijah Mitchell isn't comparable to any of those guys/moves.
I'm not saying the Chiefs are going to take a RB in the 1st , but it's just as likely as OT IMO. Maybe slightly less only due to position value.
I think DL is still most likely.
