Updated with tweets throughout the conference.

“I feel good about our roster, but we didn’t win the Super Bowl and there are places we can get better.”

- #Chiefs GM Brett Veach.

There are so many quality #2 caliber corners to be had in rd 2 that I think we shouldn’t take one in the first unless it’s Murphy.

I’m still sticking with DL bc Andy loves lineman and it is the strength at the top.

Chiefs looking at a quarterback. One I watched for years, both as a starter and as a backup to Carson Wentz.

Maybe a good backup and trade bait in the future when a team is desperate for a QB.

I'd like to see us bring in Stick as an undrafted guy, but then see what would happen if we converted him to WR.

It's been done before, and I think if he's going to have an NFL career, it's going to be through that direction.

Are you ready to give up more than a trade and (1) 2 for White? Bush could possibly be had for just (1) 2, but you know both trade partners are going to push for more.

Are either of those players worth ****ing off half of round 2 and possibly all of 3?

anybody that's 100% certain about what Veach is going to do is full of shit.

I don't think Veach is even 100% certain. There are a lot of moving parts. Trade up, trade down, positional value, how the board falls. All of these are unknowns.

I can see CB, S, DE, DT, TE, WR, LB...depending on who falls and whether we stay or trade up/down.

I am 1,000,000,000% certain that the above strikes will NOT be taken in the 1st round by the Chiefs.

In the 1st round, I just cannot see Veach drafting anything else than defense.

DT wont happen as Jones and Nnadi are obvious starters for the next few years.

S is unlikely as the Chiefs have Mathieu for at least 2 years plus other Watts, Lucas, etc.

LB would also surprise me in the 1st round.

DE or CB it will be.

Some fans here dont seem to realize it but the only player on contract the Chiefs will have at the end of this season at CB is Charvarius Ward.

It is like a guarantee that Veach drafts a CB in the 1st 2 rounds.

I think the pick is Murphy

Be that as it may, the DE's in this class are more talented than the CB's, so if Veach is moving up? DE it will be, and you'll see your CB in round 2.

However I do think if adderly falls to us then we will take him. Veach said the safety class is thin

If we take Adderly at 29 instead of CB then we are dumber than a box of ****ing rocks.

Any of those things could absolutely happen.

If Hock or Fant are there at #29, they'd clearly be the best player on the board.

Or Marquis Brown, or AJ Brown. Remember we don't know what the ****'s going on with Tyreek and Watkins always misses time. What if all the sudden we're trotting out D-Rob as our #1 receiver along with Dieter and Pringle?

I doubt Bush or White are there at #29, but if so many guys are rising, then that means someone has to fall.

I'm with you-I WANT a defense heavy draft, and I want them early and often.

and if you did something like AJ Brown at #29 and still got like Ya-Sin and Zach Allen in the 2nd? or Gardner-Johnson? Or Winovich?

Would you really be pissed? Some of these guys are going to fall. They have to.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Tyreek is the only true wild card in this whole scenario. But, how many WR's have the Chiefs been working out? Unless they plan to pull some kind of "October Surprise", I think we should read the writing on the wall.

I think Jordy Nelson was the only WR they had interest in. Other then that crickets

Then we listen to the sound of crickets and move on. When has there EVER been a case of the Chiefs taking 1st round pick and NOT working him out if he was available to do so?

It bears repeating. There are very slim chances if any that they take a TE or WR in the 1st round.

When Veach says he likes the depth at WR and TE in the 2nd to 4th round, that tells me he is open to taking that position in those rounds but not in the 1st round.

Most important for me is defense and the Oline.

I'm not even a bit worried about the weapons with a QB like Mahomes.

You could tell me Hill will be suspended all season and Kelce injured all season and I still believe Mahomes would do his thing, as long as the Oline is decent.
