Call Your Shot: Who’s the Chiefs first selection in the 2020 Draft

[staylor26]

I’m going with Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

[Mecca]

Higgins is not a fit here, not in this style of offense.

Higgins is a big body high point dude, he is not going to be crisp with routes or get a lot of seperation.

I wouldn't call it a rebuilding year.

I would be more willing to acknowledge they could take Baun or a safety with that pick than a RB.

Got it.

If you need me, I'll be out getting my Aiyuk jersey ordered...

If you can get a sure-fire OT on a five year deal with the first few years being cheap, that is something KC has to be looking at.

I just don't understand why you guys are always so concerned about the Salary Cap and future years. It changes constantly and if you've got good players on the roster, you keep them.

Every freaking year, people are "cutting" Fisher and Sorensen. Meanwhile, all they do is contribute greatly to the Chiefs success.

Eventually, which could be 3 years, 4 years or longer, depending on the upcoming season. If it's shortened or cancelled altogether, we're going to see some of these guys player longer for many reasons, including less wear and tear and of course, money.

He is speedy but he definitely needs work on his routes but Tyreek was a RB converted to a WR and he’s one of the best receivers in the game today. Which WR would you pick?

Higgins is freakin 6'4, those guys don't run super crisp routes.

Chiefs GM Brett Veach raving about CBs Antonio Hamilton and Alex Brown, said he believes team now has four deep at CB.

Bashaud Breeland, Charvarius Ward, Rashad Fenton project as your top 3.

Alex Brown is 5’9” and Hamilton is a ST player. We have 2, maybe 3, guys that can start on the outside. CB is absolutely still in play at 32.

Didn’t know you were a Packers fan.

Veachs take on the salary cap

"The (salary) cap is flexible and what we're able to do is flexible...there's an array of options."

They just grabbed Lawson, Van Noy and Ogbah. I don't know about that.

Right now they've got a pretty mediocre Jordan Howard and some scrubs at RB.

#Chiefs GM Brett Veach reiterates a few times that they are looking 2-3 years down the road as they approach the draft and building their roster.

Hill looked the part of a WR from the day he started running routes.

Dude's feet are beyond peer and always have been. I mentioned several times 'round here how stunned I was at how good Hill was at the "WR stuff" in his rookie season - dude just knew how to play the position.

Higgins has played it for years and still doesn't do it right.

You have it or you don't. If you're lucky, Higgins is Vincent Jackson. I probably like VAN Jefferson more than I like Higgins, and he's not even the best Wide Receiver named Jefferson out of the SEC in this draft.

I think it's "in play" if there's an absolutely incredible player that dropped to #32.

Otherwise, I think they can wait until later to grab a guy they really like to develop over the course of the season.

It's just a bad use of a 1st round pick, IMO.

Brett Veach has a type at RB and Andy is clearly aligned with it. Seems like ever since we took Kareem Hunt, we’ve tried to find guy with similar structure.

Darrell Williams and Darwin Thompson are those guys with thick legs and good contact balance to get more yards while teams have light boxes due to Mahomes.

The more I look at these backs, the more I see Cam Akers as a great fit. I think he’d kill it in this offense.

I was referring to the Dolphins.
