I'd sure love to get Ed Oliver

“That guy is a lot better than some people think.”

- #Chiefs GM Brett Veach on @DerrickNnadi, who was impressed with the rookie last year.

I am absolutely here (Chiefs interwebs) for the meltdown if the Chiefs end up taking a wide out or any offensive player in the first round, bc Veach did say they felt all positions minus QB were on the board

I have absolutely no problem going Receiver/TE at 29 and then defense with the rest. Give Mahomes weapons. If any one of Kelce/Hill/Watkins goes down it will hurt our offense.

I also enjoyed Veach talking about Reid's stack of note cards yay thick with new "Pat plays" -- I can't ****ing wait to see these

Nobody will be mad if we take a TE or WR in the first.

Correction: only fools will be mad if we take an offensive player in the first.

That's not correct. There are a group of "defense or bust in the 1st round" people on this board.

Yes, but fortunately they're confined to the romper room because they're morans

It depends on what they do next, I wouldn't necessarily hate an offensive player in the first. Regardless of who they pick and where they pick the defense needs to show marked improvement. Another year of a sieve for a defense and heads need to roll.

Heads have been rolling, so hopefully they'll get it moving in the right direction this year.

If like...Hockensen or Fant or Brown fell to #29, you take them. I wouldn't trade UP for an offensive player, but yeah. No problem. Thank you very much, we'll see about defense in round 2.

If you go defense in round 1, you could certainly look offense with one of your second round picks. There are some nice WR prospects there. If you go defense in round 2 as well-

Then in round 3, there should be WR's, TE's, and one of the better mobile C's all available.

I saw a mock the other day that had Hockenson at 8 yet had DK Metcalf going after our pick..I found that odd as hell.

Somebody really interesting is going to fall to #29.

There's just no way around it.

It really depends on what you consider to be interesting

Well, offense-wise, I'd say Fant or Hockensen. 2 TE sets would be tough to stop. Marquis Brown or AJ Brown. That would make your 3 WR sets pretty unstoppable. Any of those guys would be interesting, no?

Defense- I'd say Tillery, Dexter Lawrence even though it's not really a need position, holy shit he's a game wrecker. Simmons doesn't help you this year, but you'd wreck worlds in '20. It's possible that Ferrell could fall. Greedy or Murphy could fall to #29. They would make your CB group pretty solid.

People reach for QB's. Lots of new head coaches that are going to want their guy. Some interesting players are going to drop.
