And obviously DT.
I don't think any of those positions except maybe DT are in such a dire spot that you'd forego a possible long-term upgrade at a position of higher importance in order to get a starter at one of those NOW.
And the only one of those to come close is DT where the Chiefs clearly don't think it's that important and never have.
If we make a 'need' pick, it almost has to be DT. I just don't think the Chiefs see DT as a real need even if I do. Beyond that, every position we'd be looking at either has a starter that we'd like to upgrade on (2nd day works great for those guys) and/or is a position of lesser importance.

An interesting viewpoint is the Chiefs strategy. They only have 5 picks before the 7th rd but is that enough?
Do they feel that they only have 4 or so spots on the team so they can be aggressive and give up a pick (or pick swap to lose spots) to go for a guy they love and could be a blue chip (hello Derrick Harmon) or….do they stay and trade back from 63 or 66 to get an extra pick (5th rd?).
I think I’d lean towards the latter while Veach has historically leaned towards the former.
