That’s a slam dunk draft imo

Yea, you start with BTJ and Kingsley and it's already an A+ draft for me.

If that's too high to take a RB for other's tastes, I like other weapons like TEs Sinnot or Whiley with that pick as well as a handful of WRs that may fall to that spot. WR Javon Baker fell to me at #94 in this simulation, and I could imagine one of WR Burton, Legette, J. Wilson, D. Walker, or M. Corley falling to that spot in the real draft. But I personally think it would be exciting to target a RB in Brooks, Benson, Wright, Corum, Lloyd or Irving fairly early.

To clarify on the BTJ late 20's pick... that pick is only available about 1 in 5 times I run that simulator, so highly unlikely, but that's the scenario "I want" to see most live this Thur. In reality, I think it's a lot more likely that pick is Worthy. The guys at PFF don't like BTJ much and are always comping him to MVS and indicating they wouldn't take him too high in the first on their youtube content. Before the combine I recall some folks questioning his route tree, but his 40 time has dampened that talk some. The NFL teams always seem to view the players a bit differently than the general public so there's maybe a shot that they share the same sentiment as PFF around BTJ not being the most complete WR and he falls within range of a reasonably priced trade up. I personally would be willing to move next year's 2nd + a later round pick to move up to get to get him higher than he was taken in this online simulator, if possible.

I'd be all about it. I don't think the first two picks are probable at those spots, but if they were it'd be a homerun.

I’m a fan of Lloyd, so those first three picks would be an A+.

Not that I don't love Pachecco, but I feel like there's a tendency to overvalue his contributions because he was a 7th round Veach gem. He's a fast one cut back and great fit for us, but he doesn't bring much on 3rd down for passing or blocking, and he's not really a home-run hitter either. Ultimately, he's prob considered a mid-ranked starting RB in the league. I see that he was ranked #27 of #32 before the 2023 season, and #17 of #72 afterwards. I saw Pat talk about how much he's learned to harness the run game to set up his passing attack since he's become a pro and I assume since Pachecco's joined the team. So say we gave him an undeniably top quality back like Gibbs last year or Brooks this year, someone with at least top 25% RB in the league consideration, we could give Mahomes more opportunities to shine by balancing the offense. Hell, we already use the TE more than any other team in the league so upgrading our run game would be like the 3rd dimension of our unstoppable offense lol. This isn't to say that I think Lloyd would necessarily be that guy for us, but I wonder if Veach wouldn't get tempted to take a shot at an early RB again like he did with CEH previously and was rumored to have interest in Gibbs last year. Growing up KC always had one of the leagues best RBs, it was kind of what we were known for and would be fun to have again.

Got to start thinking about the next round of contracts to some degree also. Thuney, Creed, Smith, and Bolton, plus Pachecco will all be up. I'd have to guess Thuney retires, Creed, Smith, and Bolton are probably prioritized over Pachecco. But then again, RB is an affordable position so his low contract value might work in his favor. Not at all that I want to see him go either, I've just always felt he'd be a better lighting strike for big chunk plays RB #2 next to a dynamic Alvin Kamara-type, or balanced lead back like Saquan Barkley.

I love Pacheco but I don't see him as a second contract guy on a roster like this.

PFF prefers the same strategy with a trade back and I'd probably love this draft just as much as the above.
I'm not sure that's Veach's style tho, has he ever traded back? I'll let the two mocks serve as "Couch's final lazy what I want range of similar picks." Last edited by Couch-Potato; 04-22-2024 at 09:17 PM.. |
