1. Thinks it will come down to Cleveland and Arizona for Alex Smith. Says the Chiefs will probably involve Smith in the decision on where he wants to go.

2. The Mahomes trade actually happened in the afternoon, not during the draft (according to all of his sources). Everyone of his sources thought it was for a LB because the Chiefs thought the QBs would be gone.

3. Sees Veach as a BPA kind of guy but in a weighted system.

4. Sees KCs needs going into the draft as CB, WR and edge rusher. Still needs to get younger and more athletic at safety. Jags/Titans gameplan was run at Frank Zombo....rinse and repeat.

5. Ford's glimpse of talent was a mirage and he's a bust. He thinks that Ford is gone this offseason.

6. Sees Uchenna Nwosu out of USC, Chad Thomas out of Miami and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo out of Oklahoma as possible draft fits in the 2nd room. Said if you go look back at previous draft picks for the Chiefs....they like arm length in their rush backers.

7. Has Tarvarus McFadden, CB out of Florida State to the Chiefs in his first mock draft. Kameron Kelly, CB out of San Diego State could be a good fit as well. Kelly will work out as CB and S at the Senior Bowl.

2 doesn't make much sense

What I think Matt Miller is missing is that the trade was probably agreed upon under the condition that Mahomes would be there. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

Half of it makes sense. I think they had the parameters of the deal in place but it was definitely for a QB. Dorsey talked about it after the draft and said that he would call the Bills after every pick to make sure that they were still good with the trade. Then when Mahomes was there at #10....they pulled the trigger.

Okoronkwo and McFadden would be ****ing GREAT picks

Hell yea. I really like Okoronkwo or Nwosu in the 2nd assuming we get another 2nd for Alex.

First rep I saw when I fired up the #SeniorBowl practice tape earlier this morning.

As first impressions go, that's a pretty good one from Humboldt State OT Alex Cappa. pic.twitter.com/slA4JClfHh

From @ZebraTechnology player tracking: fastest player on the North team on Tuesday was Michael Gallup @mg4dontplay from @CSUFootball > 20.69 MPH
Fastest on South team was James Washington @James_James28 from @CowboyFB > 21.25MPH #SeniorBowl #CompeteAndConnect

With Dorsey gone, I don't know if I should be watching for the late risers at the Senior Bowl or not.

#PennState WR DaeSean Hamilton runs maybe the best routes here. Few, if any, wasted steps as he eats cushion, and his body is always in sync.

He’s building off great Shrine Game practices from last week.

Agree. He's been excellent in his routes and separation.

On defense, I think NCState's B.J. Hill is kicking serious ass. Very powerful, and a pass rush threat that looks like he can anchor when needed.

UTEP’s Will Hernandez uses his strength well — going against Fort Hays State’s Nathan Shepherd, who had a strong day yesterday, Hernandez uses Shepherd’s first step and momentum against to him, easily shoving him back and behind the spot.

Hernandez loves to block through the echo of the whistle - he is causing visible frustration with this DT group. #76 is just a mean dude. And I love it.

Not a huge surprise but @SeniorBowlPhil said on @nflnetwork that UTEP OG Will Hernandez requested to be on the North team because his former coach, Sean Kugler, is now with the #Broncos.

#UTEP OG Will Hernandez, one of #myguys in this draft, has been really impressive today and yesterday.

The first round will be LOADED with OL. I think he’s got a great chance to be one of them. #SeniorBowl

The Will Hernandez love is real. @melloesquire just said he thinks he might be worth a 1st.
