Collins or Bolton just might be BPA.
The Chiefs, under Reid, have a history of drafting for future departures the following year. Remember, even CEH wasn’t supposed to be the starter this year. Replacing Hitchens is a lot on the mental side, so it’s possible that they could want to get ahead of it and draft their guy a year early. That way when Hitchens is gone, you have 2 good young LB’s. You could also play Gay and the rookie a lot more in subs so we don’t have to see Niemann on the field anymore and avoid Hitchens in coverage as much as possible.
Again, I agree that it’s unlikely, but it’s absolutely possible.

It was always to easy to see the logic in going LB early again, even if I didn’t think they actually would. This made even more sense as it was pick 58 as opposed to 31.
