If this draft has (and it does) 3rd round talents that project to fall to the mid 4th, I have no problem moving a pick or 2 in next years draft to go get them now.
I want Mahomes to not just score a lot, but to win a lot.
Load the defense and take advantage of the true strengths of the 2018 draft to do so.

I don't know how realistic it is to think that many teams are going to want to trade down for picks in next season's draft. I mean a few trades happened last year that were for next seasons selection:
Saints receive:
2017 3rd round pick (No. 67)
49ers receive:
2018 2nd round pick
2017 7th round pick (No. 229)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Broncos receive:
2018 4th round pick
49ers receive:
2017 5th round pick (No. 177)
Kapri Bibbs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jets receive:
2018 5th round pick
Cowboys receive:
2017 6th round pick (No. 191)
So it seems any draft pick in 2019 is valued as 1 round later in 2018 (2019 Rams 2nd round pick valued as a 3rd round pick in 2018). Further more lets look at some early 2nd round pick trades from last season:
Cardinals receive:
2017 second-round pick (No. 36)
Bears receive:
2017 second-round pick (No. 45)
2017 fourth-round pick (No. 119)
2017 sixth-round pick (No. 197)
2018 fourth-round pick
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bills receive:
2017 second-round pick (No. 37)
2017 fifth-round pick (No. 149)
Rams receive:
2017 second-round pick (No. 44)
2017 third-round pick (No. 91)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vikings receive:
2017 second-round pick (No. 41)
Bengals receive:
2017 second-round pick (No. 48)
2017 fourth-round pick (No. 128)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bills receive:
2017 second-round pick (No. 63)
Falcons receive:
2017 third-round pick (No. 75)
2017 fifth-round pick (No. 149)
2017 fifth-round pick (No. 156)
Out of all those trades the Bills dropped the most by 12 spots- I just think teams who want to move down do so to recoup draft picks for this season specifically. Maybe there's another Kamara trade out there to acquire some more 2018 draft capital but it's not gonna be an easy task to load up in this draft class. We just don't have the picks to do so.
