State of the Chiefs drafting going forward

[staylor26]

I think you have to find guys that for one reason or another are great values.

Peters was a great value because of character issues.

Jones was a great value because of depth at the postion in his class.

Hockenson would abe a great value because of depth too, but also combined with positional value.

This is why Jacobs intrigued me a little despite me usually not liking RB in round 1. He’s a RB that doesn’t have a ton of tape. Some reliable people have this guy as a top 10 talent. That’s value.

He's still a RB though.

I don't think it would matter in discussion of him anyway, I just don't know that Andy values the RB spot that highly.

That could be that case, but he’s still a good example of what I’m getting at here.

The best way to make up for late picks it to find value at those spots.

Exactly.

But I don't think taking a RB in the first round is a good example of that, no matter how good he could be.

A top 10-15 talent at 29 is value no matter what way you want to look at it. That’s the definition. But since he’s still a RB, I’d prefer to find value elsewhere.

If Jacobs drops that far then I think he would be in play at #29. I don't think he makes it that far though. Many people have him mocked to the Buccaneers at #5... While that might be a bit eager... He probably won't make it out of the top 15.

I would be surprised if anyone but MJD mocked Jacobs to the Buccs at #5, and that guys draft was ridiculously bad.
