Let’s talk about rd 2

[RunKC]

Lot of good receivers left as well as corners.

Feeling good about it. What’s our big board look like?

He's a bad ass. Seems like other teams value Mizzou players more than the Chiefs do. They've had a couple, but not many. Daniel, Morse, Maclin, Henry Marshall. And that kid they played on the O-Line last year.

You can't depend on Baker.

And if Ward gets what the market usually sets for FA CB's, we'd be better off letting him go, just like we did with Nelson.

We need more corners. We absolutely do.

Here? He hardly got a chance. He did play very well in his 1 game before getting hurt, even got a sack if I remember right. He played fantastic back in college. He was very inconsistent in his early days back in NYC though he definitely finished the year on a strong note. I have no idea where you got the idea he was awful. He had growing pains as all rooks do.

Don’t be surprised if we take Elerson Smith...

Fast LB's = Fast Defense.

You wanna take this D's athleticism up a notch, you get some rangy sideline to sideline thumpers that'll meet a back in the hole with violent intentions.

I watched him play. He wasn't a "baller". They know exactly zero about what they have in him and counting on him to be a long-time starter would be a fool's errand at this point.

They still need corners and there's going to be excellent value at the end of the 2nd round. They'd be doing themselves a great disservice if they passed on that value because they have Deandre Baker on a 1-year deal.

I don't hear much about UAB DE Jordan Smith anymore, wonder if he will still be floating around at #175? A little narrow to do much this year, but is of "Spags size".

I could see it but I think he's more of a 3rd rounder and we don't have one.

I agree that we shouldn't trade picks to move up. But if for some reason he falls, that would be my pick.

It also doesn't appear there will be elite talent at defensive end available at 63. So I'd like to see one of the top two remaining tight ends, if still there. I'm enticed by the idea of having an actual weapon on the other side of the formation from Kelce. And I would almost always prefer getting a top 1-3 elite player at a "lesser" position than the 9th or 10th best player at a "premium" position. Particularly if that "lesser" position is one of need, like tight end is for the Chiefs.

Yea having 2 fast/rangy LB’s automatically makes you a good defense as long as the rest of it is even slightly above average.

They could trade back, or they could just take him at 63.

He’s a guy that I would imagine we are much higher on than most.

Both are true, yep.

Love this player.

Who the **** can play the position outside of Gay and Hitchens? If one of those dudes is injured then we’re down to Darius Harris or Ben Niemann.

Yes....we still need a LB.

Agreed. Somehow, LBs seem have fallen down the totem pole just above FBs. TEs have done much damage against the Chiefs over the past several yrs, and fast, aggressive LBs still create lots of turnovers, which were in short supply last year. We don't need Singletary, but sure would be nice to have a 6'4" athlete that can cover (cough* Jabril Cox)

He's a lengthy guy that would probably be available later. He's definitely an interesting prospect.

I love small school finds. One of the few methods to obtain elite physical talent in later rounds.
