I'd actually prefer KC extends Jones for 3 additional years since he only just turned 28 in July. I'm confident you can play a 3rd round-type again like they did with Nnadi out the gate. Pair that with a rotational vet (such as retaining Nnadi) and I think you're fine.
As for the rest, it's a juggling act dependent upon what the Chiefs decide to do with Brown at LT. He's clearly not my cup-o-tea out there but it's obvious Reid and Mahomes have, up until now, been okay with him else Veach wouldn't have offered the contract he did.
If they lock up Brown, I can't help but lean DE in 1 and WR in 2 again or even flip it while having eyes on value at RT. Alot of change happens if it's not OBJ.

Yeah I think of those positions of need DT is the most likely we can pick up one in FA that's impactful and relatively affordable. I suppose my position is we just need impact across the DL and I'm not sure I care as much where it comes from, and in the draft it's a decent DT class and probably where an immediate contributor will fall to.
If we extend OBJ my guess is we swing for DE first, then WR, and OT and DT in the latter rounds. Completely fine with that approach but I'm not seeing a lot of late first round DEs this year that jump out to me. I suppose I didn't see Karlaftis falling either though.
