Tenn. RB Alvin Kamara - me likey

[staylor26]

If he's somehow still there in the 2nd, I think we'd run to the ****ing podium.

He's the only guy in the draft that I'd really want the Chiefs to take.

Any of the guys above him on the board would require 1st rounders to get and I'm not interested. Any of the guys behind him aren't legitimate difference makers but rather change of pace guys with notable flaws.

Kamara could be a 3-down force. He's a very good back and if he's there in the 2nd, I'd be elated to grab him.

Would you trade up for him in the 2nd?

Cost?

If it's a 5th, probably.

I don't put much value on anything past the 4th round; they're all lotto tickets that are only marginally more likely to succeed than just signing 5 extra UDFAs and keeping the one that plays the best in camp.

Sure, there's Tyreek Hill, but lets not forget that we took Hogan ahead of him. This front office tends to do a better job than most with late round picks, but they also tend to do a better job than most with scrap-heap veterans and UDFAs. They're just a good coaching staff that can get contributions from a lot of different places.

So with a tight roster and a bunch of picks anyway, I'd be fine moving up 5 or 6 spots but any more than that is just a little to steep in a draft that seems to have little drop off from about the 20th best prospect to the 8th best prospect.

Like I said in the mock thread - this is a scouts draft through and through. Gamesmanship isn't going to 'win' this draft - sorting through a bunch of similarly (very) talented guys to separate the wheat from the chaff will give a good scouting department a chance to make huge strides. There are going to be several good starters coming from the 3rd and 4th rounds in this draft. I have faith in the front office making the right calls and getting the most from that draft capital.

I agree with DJ here about RB. I would love Cook or Kamara or Micon, but we have a nice young guy in Ware who was good last season. I'm also wondering if it would be a complete waste of resources to draft one early due to the fact that Andy won't even use them that much.

The more I think about it, the more I see the Chiefs want to find a QB then bolster the hell out of a really good defense.

The good news is, the Chiefs could even wait til round 5 to grab a RB, and still get a good player at the position. This RB class is loaded.
