This is really gonna be a draft of philosophy. Are the Chiefs going to continue being a defensive led team or will they go back to scoring again and having a competent defense?
Nobody loves Derrick Harmon more than me. I got a chub from that guy a week before the combine. But there are very good DT’s in rd 2 and 3. There will also be very good DE’s there too.
The defense today as it stands pre-draft is good. The draft itself is deep in our areas of need. The offense is not good and we’ve had issues with playmakers while our best one is about to ride off into the sunset.
I’m all in on Burden or a WR they love. I’m all in on Mason Taylor if they pick him. The drop between talent at 31 to 63 at those positions is pretty damn big, and this is coming from a Jalen Royals promoter.
They badly need to get this offense fixed. And if the board runs dry and you’re stuck with TreVeyon Henderson there, it would be a great pick bc he is head and shoulders above the rest of this class outside of Jeanty and would be a perfect fit here.
They have to help the offense. Help your QB. Stop relying on him to carry old, washed or bad football players every year.

Perfectly stated on all topics. For me, the answer is absolutely clear; you go balls deep on offensive talent in this draft. Right now, you have a top 10 defense without adding a single player. Hell, I'd argue we've already improved pretty significantly from last year. Adding Fulton allows McDuffie and Connor to move to their more natural positions, basically improving three crucial spots on D with one signing. You added Mike Edwards to help with the loss of Reid. The D is already pretty much set to roll.
I have had enough of watching the best QB in history try and scrape by with rejects and has beens. Yes, you have Worthy, Rice, Hollywood and Juju locked down, but there are still a lot of questions with 3 of those 4 guys injury wise, and Worthy could get snapped like a twig with one big hit as well. Don't even get me started on what we've provided as far as a running back room for him. We have a chance to possibly have the most complete roster of this entire dynasty if you add some real firepower on offense. With Rice and Worthy on rookie deals, if you add a workhorse back and replacement for Kelce (or another WR) you have stacked the deck for Pat for the next 3-4 years. It needs to be the priority. I'm fully focusing there in rounds 1 and 2, then use the two 3rds to add to the d-line and/or safety.
It will be interesting to see if they stick with the approach of BPA all the way, or if they recognize the opportunity to really grease the wheels to have an elite offense for the foreseeable future. I'm hoping they do.
