I rather they swap places and give them a fifth.

Drafting Simmons is basically betting on him being a unicorn, the one dude who actually comes back to what he was before the injury. As far as positives, I mean, is it a positive that 1/2 the guys who have this injury as NFL players play again? If you HAVE to squint and find a positive, there it is. It's a coin flip on ending careers. And not just the NFL. NBA, too. (Jeremy Lin, Andre Roberson, Victor Oladipo all had it end their NBA careers in the past 5-10 years).

Well, I hope Veach is calling around with general "What would it take...?" calls. That is part of his due diligence to prepare for the "what if someone slides" scenarios.
Each year Veach gives some number of players a 1st round grade. And no, it isn't 32 players every year that get that grade. IIRC, this is what prompted the trade up for McDuffie. McDuffie was one of Veach's 1st round guys and when he started to slide Veach went up to get him (leaving Kaiir Elam for Buffalo which is hilarious). Won't know until after the draft but it seems unlikely Veach has a 1st round grade on a 300 pound lineman with a torn patellar tendon. |

I did this mock draft and the Chiefs traded up to me at 14 and I accepted just to see who the simulator took and they managed to get Ashton Jeanty that inexplicably slipped and I'm only saying this because WOW I would not know how to feel about that. I am pretty sure I'd talk myself into it almost immediately Also I feel like 4 out of 5 drafts the Chiefs got Malachi Starks and it's a bit of a steal and I wouldn't hate it |

Still think Seattle at #18 is the move. They have many spots to fill and a major need for interior lineman.
Seattle gets: Smith #31 2026 4th rounder Chiefs get: #18-I'd draft a DL, probably Harmon, this early. |

This ain't even news. Teams making calls about possibly moving up or down is due diligence that happens every year. I know it's a slow news period and all..... |

I get it but I'm still having a hard time seeing Veach make Smith the highest paid guard in the NFL. It's also a HUGE need for Seattle.

Personally, I’d prefer to trade Trey Smith if we can get decent value for him. It doesn’t seem wise to make smith the highest paid guard. I realize that would leave a lot of holes on the oline but there are several good tackles that project as guards and good guards as well. If veach can locate and draft a good guard in say the 3rd round to compete for a starting spot, I’d go for trading smith.

Maybe if you throw in Skyy Moore they might consider it, seeing how they lost Metcalf. |
