He's just too damn talented.
I mean no question that's a dream pick because he can A) spell Jones (which CJ needs badly next year) and B) Step in at the 3 tech for Jones when Jones moves out to the edge on pass rush downs.
I mean you could have that guy as a DL 5 who takes reps off Jones, Karlaftis (through Jones moving out) Omenihu (see Jones) and even the Nose if they play in a nascar set with Jones and Nolen inside.
It would be a RIDICULOUSLY good fit. I just don't see us getting that lucky.
He's really really good -- there are too many teams picking in the 20s that would be willing to take the risk. If you want him, I think you're moving up to 24ish. I don't see him getting through the back of that round when he's easily one of the 10-12 best pure talents in the draft.

It would be kind of funny … if the Chiefs DO trade up, all the talk between the trade being announced and them making the pick will be about the best LT. Probably Josh Simmons, with maybe a nod to Conerly.
And then they take Walter Nolen and the talking heads scramble.
Kind of like when they trade up for Mahomes and everyone assumed it was for Watson.
