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

[staylor26]

I’m going with Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

[Mecca]

I think if I was going to go the guys I think could very well could be our pick...

I'm coming around to Xavier McKinney and Grant Delpit being very viable options with Swift right there.

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.

Give me Delpit, Aiyuk and Gay in the first three rounds and put Veach in the ring of honor.

I think Veach might have fumble fingers trying to call in the pick if Delpit was there at #32 due to the adrenaline rush.

And don't think he'll fall to us in the real one.

Love that kid.

Ever since DJ brought up the possibility in the CP Mock thread it’s been an intriguing option to me.

I honestly think he’s going to be there, so it will be interesting to see if we pass or not.

If McKinney, Delpit and Swift are sitting there at #32 or wherever the Chiefs select, I'm taking Delpit and not looking back.

I was told this was a bad take yesterday

I can just imagine the State Farm commercials 😂

Well yeah you’re not going to have him. Doesn’t mean they aren’t effective. If the Ravens take Espenesa and have Judon, Wolfe, Campbell and Espenesa up front, that’s pretty goddamn good.

It’s a copycat league and FA showed us that teams are trying to copy the Chiefs and 49ers. That’s why the Colts traded for Buckner, Broncos trades for Casey, Raiders signed Collins, and Ravens trades for Campbell & signed Wolfe.

The Ravens and Broncos are literally trying to copy us. Just watch next week. I guarantee both teams will draft multiple speed receivers to bulk up their roster and help their QB like we do with our trio.

Such is life in the NFL

Good luck trying to replicate us without Mahomes...

And Reid...

You gotta stop worrying about what these other teams do man. We’ve got a SB roster and our badass GM has a 1st round pick for the first time. We’re going to get better too.

Delpit has some serious speed and range which I love...the only thing McKinney could do he can't is give you some nickel LB reps.

[staylor26]

I love the idea of getting Delpit, but I have a question for you guys.

Do you really think they’re going to take a safety? I mean that almost certainly means they’re going to cut Dirty Dan and I just get the sense that they love the guy and he’ll be here next year playing his role, not a 1st rounder.

I’d love to be wrong, just my guy feeling.

[ForeverChiefs58]

What’s the feeling here about Jeremy Chinn?

Is he a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round pick?


How about Kyle Dugger?

I think Dan would hang around to finish his contract but after this year he's 31, the only way he would return is if he took a paycut and basically became more of a specials guy and his D role was more limited as he is aging.

Sorensen is what....30? And on the last year of his deal, I believe. Delpit can step in and replace either Thornhill or Mathieu if we need too.

[Coogs]

This is just one snap from last season, but we have a late round IOL in Allegretti who could be ready for either C or G?

I don't see it either.
