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

[staylor26]

I’m going with Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

Yea that’s the worst Chiefs mock I’ve seen

Deejay Dallas. 5th round.

Jones is arguably a top 15-25 talent.

Schwartz is 30 years old and will be 31 when the season begins. He's shown no signs of slowing down or retiring. Guys like him can play at a high level well into their 30's.

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.

But this is a pretty good OT class and so if someone that would normally go in the 35-40 range fell to the Chiefs at 63, I could see them grabbing him. It's less than ideal to do that given the fact that you only get 4 years of him and 2 of them are almost certainly blocked, but for the right talent, it's worthwhile.

I don't think it would be Veach's ideal outcome, but it's one I think he'd consider.

Next years OT class is supposedly highly thought of as well.

Hip injury that slowed him down in '19 after looking like a real 1st round probable in '18. Outstanding physical tools and what appears to be a good head for the game. Just a GIANT dude who is very agile for his size. No experience at LT (IIRC) but might have the tools to play it.

So if he's there in the 2nd...maybe? Depending on the board? You'd want him to get at least a full season to make sure he's recovered from the hip surgery and you can maybe lean him out a bit to make him more agile. Then you work technique like crazy. Then in season 2 you see if you have a guy that can be a swing tackle, in which case you have a potential LT.

And I may just like him more than most - guys that big with plus athleticism are just so damn rare. That's why I liked the Fisher pick when we made it - 6'7" dudes w/ the agility to play on an island at LT are just awfully tough to get your hands on. So I may be falling victim to measurables.

But if the board fell to hell and Niang was sitting there at 63...I'd have to strongly consider taking him.

I’ll guess the Chiefs will take Swift

My dream scenario would be trade Jones and trade down from 32. End up with having 3 picks in the top 64 and taking William Gay Jr, Terrell or Danztler, with the first two and then in my scenario you would still have another 5-6 picks to take RB, WR, IOL, DT, DE.

This monstrosity is why I will never 'defer to the experts' when it comes to the Chiefs draft.

2 CBs a C and a G with their first 4 picks, ALL of whom are reach picks. Why? Because idiot national talking heads do the same thing every time. They build their list of needs for each team and then at each pick, they just snap a guy up from the top of that position group.

There's no way the Chiefs just punt a draft like that and go 'full need'.

Yea that draft isn't something I like yet I guarantee you the person that did it says there are 3 day 1 starters there.

I honestly think it's more likely the guy used a Mock Draft simulator and just went with it.

Those guys don't earn enough money to fully research and study. They're paid like pennies per word.

And, he's a kid.

Is Swift a good blocker?

I think Swift would be a good fit in this system, but the Dolphins will be picking for the 3rd time at 26 and the shitty running game was a big problem for them in 2019. 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 Dolphins run game sucked cause they're OL is awful, I wouldn't be surprised if they went QB and 2 OL.

He's ok at it, he seems to have the want to and the ability just needs a bit of refinement..

That makes him sound like a perfect fit here.

They also didn't have shit at RB. I can't see them taking 2 tackles in the first round.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

I feel a trade coming. We are tied with the Saints with the fewest draft picks

Agreed. He will need work. If you look at all of our past RBs they have been damn good at blocking. Charles, Hunt, West, Ware, Williams
