[staylor26]

I’m going with Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

Probably right; and they're so expensive and hard to get ahold of in FA/Trade.

So it'll keep their values high in the draft.

I think it's more likely they're both gone than it is that they're both there, but I think there's a good chance one of them slips to us and if so, I hope it's AJ.

This is me relaxing. I acknowledge it's not my favorite outcome, but assuming they can find a way to add another veteran afterwards it's not the end of the world.

Epenesa is also a guy I could see NE taking.

Relive how pissed off Facebook Chiefs fan was when we drafted Patrick Mahomes instead of Reuben Foster.

These reactions tell me I need to take a chill pill and trust Andy if he swerves in a different direction than we're expecting in the draft. He almost always drafts for talent over holes.

I saw a player comp of Trey Flowers, so that would make sense.

I like Aiyuk as a long-term replacement for Watkins a LOT. He's a perfect X in this system, IMO. The odds of him getting to the late 2nd aren't great, but the depth of the WR class might push him down a bit.

Every time I run a mock, I'm happier w/ the drafts that don't have a CB early. I just don't like the way the value falls at CB in this draft. I seem to be constantly stuck in the middle on them and feel like I end up taking a guy like Hall about 15 picks before I'd ideally want them or they're gone by the next round. Occasionally I see someone like Troy Pride fall to the late 3rd and am happy to get him there, but more often than not, I see better players on the board when we're up.

And RB just doesn't fit my positional value terribly well. It's just not a position I find myself eager to throw capital at even when there are quality players there.

I would get on board with that and have experienced the same when mocking.

Unless you trade down from 32 to 40-45, it’s hard to take a stab at a corner UNLESS Fulton or Gladney fall. And they usually don’t.

I like Aiyuk. He’s raw but his dynamic ability in space is exciting and is something Reid could use well. With Robinson and Watkins back for 2020, the Chiefs have some coverage to develop him. He’s a better version of N’Keal Harry.

I wouldn't be mad if we took Epenesa, I don't think he's a star but he'll have a nice 10 year career.

Amik Robertson is a 5'8 CB but the dude has a career in the NFL. Wouldn't mind him in the mid rounds.

I’ll also say, I think there is good value at IOL in the 4th round. They could find a quality starter there and a developmental CB in the 5th, and I’d call it a great draft.

I think we need to toss out some of NE's history at this point.

We've never seen BB rebuild a squad. We don't know what he's likely to do in a completely different spot in the competitive cycle.

He may take some much bigger hacks than he's taken in the past. Would he move up for a Justin Herbert, for instance? Or Chaisson? In the past that wouldn't have been his MO, but this is a brave new world for Belichick.

And they're also just early enough that someone like Blacklock may still be there who I think he'd like a little more than Epenesa under his 'traditional' approach.

He's a typical 'Patriot Way' player, but sitting at 23 w/ no quarterback to speak of isn't exactly a 'Patriot Way' situation.

Looking at it today, I don't think so either.

But all it takes is a run on corners or receivers or tackles and guys that shouldn't slide that far down end up doing so because of how the draft shakes out. I think that's where the Chiefs need to capitalize with that 1st round pick.

I think NE ends up with Jake Fromm, he's a guy they can compete with.

The Pats need weapons and O-line too. I could see them going offense in the first.

Put me down for G Cesar Ruiz. I’ll follow the “experts” on this one.

In all seriousness, KC has been screwing around with the LG position far too long. The only way you stop Mahomes is having a ridiculously talented and deep D Line that can pressure him from every angle, without needing to bring additional defenders. Ruiz is a special player, and can play Guard or Center.
