And it’s unclear if Thomas is that much better that others that we could get later on, especially Franklin. In my view.

I wonder what tackles you thought would be gone by the Seattle pick? Probably Alt and the 3 Fs, but what about Latham? I think he might be worth it at 16. And although we can get a good enough receiver, fairly easily in free agency and later on in the draft, I don’t think the same can be said about a long-term prospect at left tackle. That’s where I think we should concentrate in the draft. And we definitely should resign Smith ans insurance and hope he will be cheap like last year.

I also think if Bowers is available at 16, that would be a great trade up as it would give us another receiver, and an eventual replacement for Kelce.

I addressed this somewhere. At OT the only ones I'm legimately interested in in the first are Alt, Fautanu, and Fashanu. If any were there at the 16 spot, I'd make the move over a WR, honestly. If we're stuck at 32, I'd opt for Troy Franklin if he's there. If not, I'd go Morgan or Suamataia and hope like hell one might work at LT but at least know I'm probably filling my OG problem for next year if not.

32 teams = 32 draft boards. Then there are lots of "experts" with their own.

Who do you take, position of need, or best player available?

Between potentially wildly different draft boards and teams choosing between best player, or position need, we might see a wild night.

For instance, Fuaga OT is ranked as high as 11 and as low as 26 on the draft boards I've looked at. The 26 is an outlier as all the others are between 11-15.

How about Fashanu OT? Ranked as high as 4 and as low as 24 with a couple more in single digits and three others in the high teens.

Looking at what positions of need are and the draft order, I see very few teams with WR as a position of need between the Giants at #6 pick and Pittsburgh at #20.

QBs will be going fast and furious, but what about Penix and Nix? The higher they're taken, the richer the draft for those of us that won't be taking one.

It all depends on how Veach's draft board differs from the others, what players/positions start dropping, and how willing other teams will or won't be to trade with us, but there aren't very many players that will totally surprise me if they are available to the Chiefs either by picking at #32 or by trading up.
