Call Your Shot: Who’s the Chiefs first selection in the 2020 Draft

[staylor26]

I’m going with Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

[Chief Northman]

I have no idea why you think the Chiefs *need* to make a decision on Fisher, either. He's 29 years old and again, shows no signs of slowing down.

I'd rather see the Chiefs pay Fisher for a few more years than draft a LT whom they'd need to pay $16 million or more in 3 years.

I ****ed up on Schwartz’s age - as you said he will be 31 in a few weeks. After the 2020 season, Fisher can be cut saving $11.5 million on the cap with just over $3 million in dead money (just under $15 million cap hit). That might go a ways in extending Mahomes/Jones. If you can get a sure-fire OT on a five year deal with the first few years being cheap, that is something KC has to be looking at.

I have nothing against the quality of play of Fisher/Schwartz, but eventually you have to plan for down the road.

Hard to know if he'll make it past them and the Ravens that have a run first mentality and the running game ended up failing them in the playoffs (yet again).

The Ravens can plug any ol' swinging dick into that system and get 1,200 yards out of him.

If they're smart they'll throw a nice 3-4 year deal at Gus Edwards while he's still fairly undervalued. He'd be a 4.75-5 YPC back of 225-250 carries pretty easily, IMO.

There's no need for them to throw a 1st rounder at a RB.

I think they’d go Taylor over Swift in the first.

6th and 7th round picks are camp bodies and/or priority UDFA caliber players anyway for a championship caliber squad.

Just more national talking head nonsense. If the Chiefs had 2 picks each in the 6th and 7 rounds, nobody would be talking about how few picks we have and MAYBE 1 of those 4 guys would be on the 2021 roster (probably 2 at most on the 2020 roster).

The Chiefs don't need to trade down unless the value is there. If it isn't, stand pat. Quantity is great when you're the Dolphins and have half the picks in the 1st and 2nd round, but it doesn't mean shit past the 5th (and really, means very little after the 3rd).

I think we go CB in the second round. Alex Brown is an interesting player we have. Was good at special teams but never given a chance on defense

Chiefs GM Brett Veach raving about CBs Antonio Hamilton and Alex Brown, said he believes team now has four deep at CB.

Bashaud Breeland, Charvarius Ward, Rashad Fenton project as your top 3.

A rebuilding team picking at the top of rounds gets better value going RB later...

If he really likes Brown and Hamilton don't expect a high CB pick.

Oddly enough UDFA is what Veach does best at

Taylor has taken a POUNDING.

I just don't see Veach going with a high mileage RB in the 1st round knowing full well that there's a 0% chance of giving him a 2nd contract.

It's just a bad use of a 1st round pick, IMO.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

I can see us taking a WR in round 1. I like Higgins and Jefferson

Chiefs GM Brett Veach said the OL and WR position groups are probably the deepest and what he's excited about heading into the draft.

UDFA is gonna throw out some gems this year, a bunch of guys that would normally get drafted won't especially non combine invites because the NFL is scared to pick dudes without a ton of info.

This is why I'd never draft a Wisconsin RB, they all come out abused.

He does it well, to be sure.

So why the hell does he need to go acquiring late round picks? He'll be able to fill the edges of the roster w/ UDFAs and cheap veterans looking to latch on in a good system and a winning program. Hell, he's found productive street FAs during the season. He's found contributors off waivers.

There's little/no utility in adding last day picks. Veach can use his resources far better elsewhere and has in the past.

So he just said WR is deepest and you want a WR in round 1.

Got it.

They finished off the year pretty strong and I think they're making a case to be competitive in 2020. The division is shit and they were pretty active in FA.

I wouldn't call it a rebuilding year.

I like Gus but I don't think he's a lead back and I think Ingram is about to fall off a cliff.
