But taking a WR at 32 probably leads to getting a lesser player at a different position in the 2nd vs taking the better prospect at (insert position) then taking a WR in the 2nd.

I've run a lot of mocks, but mostly with just one simulator, and one thing that I've found pretty consistently is that if we don't get an OT with our first pick, our next picks won't be positioned well for taking one unless we trade up or down. Has anyone else run into this problem?

But you quoted me/responded to me reacting to the idea of going up to 9, which WOULD take that.

I don't think that's likely at all. I could see them being so bold as to move their 2025 1st or 2024 2nd to make sure they get a WR or OT they think is legit, but the type of capital to get higher than the mid-to-late-teens is just so high it seems way too risky for a team in KC's position.

Chiefs draft…
WR breakdown
1. Ladd McConkey UGA
4.39 40 ..McConkey has route plans that allow him to uncover on all three levels.
2.Adonai Mitchell, Texas
4.34 40 … Good flexibility and body control. Long, lanky frame, but moves smoothly.
3. Xavier Legette 4.39 40…Once the…

Elite, agreed. However we learned in the Tampa Bay SB you need competence at least and we still had Tyreek.

Pretty Rickey is BACK BOYS!!!!

I'm expecting a team like the Steelers, Jags, Chiefs, Patriots to draft AD Mitchell. They're known for taking risks on guys with "character issues". #NFLDraft

Do we consider the new patriots the same in that breath? And I cant think of any character guys the Jags took that panned out. Do they mean Ridley? Also kind of sad I thought this was a tweet about Ricky Pearsall lol I ****ing love him.

I have got to fix my Ovaltine decoder ring, I didn't pick up on that at all.

The Chiefs have filled out one part of their draft card already. Expecting them to draft a Left Tackle in the 1st Round. #ChiefsKingdom

I highly doubt a team picking at 32 is just saying "we'll take the best LT available".

If Rickey is on top of it, and they are truly dead set on a LT in the 1st, they must be preparing to go up and get their guy.

Is there a Mahomes like trade on the horizon?

If you believe Rickey, you'd almost have to believe they have something brewing.

I don't think they necessarily have to go all the way up to 10, but top 20ish for sure. It really puts the pressure to nail the pick, but if they do, a franchise LT on a rookie deal is definitely worth it.
