Matt Miller: Chiefs are expected to take a QB in the first 2 rounds

[Quesadilla Joe]

Kansas City Chiefs: QB or bust? Not quite, but a source with the Chiefs scouting department does expect they'll add a passer in the first two rounds. I've also been told by another source that inside linebacker is high on the team's wish list.

Other QB related stuff in the spoiler...

Spoiler!

Arizona Cardinals: Expect a quarterback in the first round. Scouts, general managers and coaches from opposing teams all responded Monday morning that they expect a quarterback to Arizona. There has been considerable buzz in scouting circles for weeks now that the team likes Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes if he's available.The Cardinals have also done extensive research on pass-rushers, per a scout with the team, and could look to add there in Round 2.


Buffalo Bills: The Bills' love for quarterbacks is real, per a scouting source with the team. I cannot see them trading up to land Mitchell Trubisky, but they could hold tight at 10 and draft Deshaun Watson. Other players linked to the team through the source were Marshon Lattimore, Reuben Foster and O.J. Howard.

Chicago Bears: Don't bet on a quarterback in Round 1, per a high-level source with the team. Defensive back is much more likely, with Jamal Adams and Marshon Lattimore earning high grades on the team's board. A quarterback is more likely on Day 2 of the draft. Oddly enough, my source said they've done a ton of work on running backs and wouldn't rule one out in Round 2 or 3.

Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett should be the No. 1 overall pick, but will he be? Based on sources in the Browns front office, I'm 99 percent sure he's the pick. The team is also making calls trying to trade back into the top 10 from their spot at No. 12 overall for Trubisky.

Houston Texans: Quarterback is a need, but the team won't reach to draft one. A source in the front office said cornerback, offensive tackle and quarterback are where they expect to go in Round 1. Gareon Conley and Marlon Humphrey would be ideal fits in this defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars do a good job keeping things quiet, but two bits of information have leaked to me out of the front office this week: Fournette is in play at No. 4 overall, and the team wants to add a quarterback in the first three rounds.

New Orleans Saints: "Win now" is the mantra coming out of New Orleans. In talking to a scout, the team likes physical Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey if it doesn't trade for Malcolm Butler. At pick No. 32, a quarterback is in play, but more likely a defensive end. One wild card would be if Reuben Foster falls, given the team's affinity for him.

New York Jets: I do not expect a quarterback at pick No. 6 overall. Odds are the Jets attempt to trade out of the top 10 to let a team like the Cleveland Browns move up to select Trubisky. If the Jets hold their spot, Jamal Adams is too good of a fit to bypass if he's available. Team needs include safety and tight end.

San Francisco 49ers: New general manager John Lynch has locked up what used to be a leaky front office. This is a very hard team to peg right now, but I do continue to hear from rival scouts and general managers that it likes Reuben Foster and Fournette, but may not be willing to take either at No. 2 overall. I don't expect a quarterback in Round 1. The 49ers could try to duplicate last year's draft and trade back into the 20s for more players.

8. The story we're all watching this week is where the quarterbacks will go. One high-level executive I spoke with said he expects two will be drafted in the top 10 picks and a total of three in the top 15. But where?

What makes the most sense to me is that the Browns get back into the top 10 to select Trubisky. Buffalo could then draft Deshaun Watson. That leaves Patrick Mahomes for the Cardinals. That gets us to two in the top 10 and three in the top 15.

Of course, the Browns have to actually trade up, but that is very doable now that they own an extra second-rounder this year (from Tennessee) and two more next year (from Philadelphia and Houston).

6. Every year, there are players drafted higher than the media and fans expected. Here's my short list of players I think go higher than we all project:

Clemson QB Deshaun Watson: Watson's leadership and ability to win big games won't be forgotten on draft night. (top 15)

5. Just as there are players going higher than we expect, there are those who fall through the cracks and become "steals" in the draft. These aren't predictions on a Laremy Tunsil or La'el Collins level, but rather players whose stock has been overly inflated online:

Notre Dame QB DeShone Kizer: Kizer's struggles in 2016, plus the rise of Patrick Mahomes, are pushing him down boards. (Late 1-Early 2)

They aren't drafting a 1st round QB in 2018 if they use a 1st or 2nd on a red shirt this year, so you might as well hope for no QB in 2017 if that's how you feel.

Wait, whut?...

If Watson, Mahomes and Trubusky are gone, I don't want to use a first on Webb. If he's there in the mid second, great, go get him. Otherwise, Dobbs/Peterman in the third/fourth will be fine.

Then we would go CB, edge or LB in rounds 1/2

**** off with this Dobbs/Peterman bullshit. If you aren't taking Trubisky, Watson, Mahomes, Kizer or Webb.....then don't draft any ****ing QB this year.

This.

I know we all have QB fever right now, but **** a trade up that'll cost next year's first.

There is no QB in this draft worth two 1sts.

I only say that for them to fit the Bray role, not as QBOTF.

I'd also be fine with no QB if those 3 are gone; so long as we bend over and sell our souls for a QB next year.

That would also mean someone like Kap comes in and plays backup, btw.

[Dante84]

Oh and kizer sux dix

[O.city]

The whole "wait til next year" is a dangerous game. If they like one of these guys, go get him. If not, don't.

I agree. I don't care what round they draft a QB either just get a guy who is good.

If the Chiefs use a 1st or 2nd round pick on a QB this year there is pretty much zero chance they take a QB early in 2018, especially given the fact that the pick this year likely won't even play.

So, if you want a 2018 QB, your fingers have to be crossed that they don't take one this year til late.

Depends on if you like him enough to give up next year's first. That's not like..that's love.

Semantics, but sure.

If they're gonna give up that much for a guy, they'll hopefully be pretty confident in him.

I don't think they will or would do that, but we shall find out.

[YayMike]

Where there is smoke...there is fire. I think we get whichever one we really want. I really don't see Arizona taking a QB with as many holes on that team as they have. If Mahommes gets by Arizona, then we NEED to trade up for him.

[Mr. Laz]

so we are drafting two QB this year?

bullshit


We would be better offer using our 2nd to move up and get the guy they really want instead of draft 2 random guys.
