Daniel Jeremiah: Many expect Chiefs to trade up for a CB

[Shag]

Not real surprising, but from here: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...oking-to-trade

Chiefs are a candidate to trade up for a CB: The Chiefs don't own a first-round pick in this year's draft (they dealt that pick away in the Patrick Mahomes trade last year), but I won't be surprised if they move up from where they're picking in the second round (No. 54 overall). They have a glaring need at cornerback and the top cover men will be long gone by the time they are on the clock if they stay put at No. 54. They need to get into the range of picks 35-40 in order to secure a Day One starter at that position, and many around the league expect them to make that happen.

Depends on what chart they are using and how each team values that 2019 2

Our 2nd, first 3rd and a 6th is enough to move to 32 per the draft chart.

I agree. I would move DOWN a few spots here and there if it nets another pick or two; but I think mostly standing pat and picking where it lays is going to net us some solid talent.

Kinda seems like a lot, if you ask me... if Veach goes that route, at least spread it out a bit and make it next years 3rd

I think we've already lost our 4th round pick in the Ragland deal. If we move up in any round, I hope it's only a few spots. The defense could use a starting safety and CB. A rotational DL guy is needed and an edge rusher.

There seems to be depth at CB and DL. Safety and Edge are light.

Going strictly off chart numbers, it would be. It never works out exactly like that though. IMO they should stick with the picks they have now. You will gain good roster depth per cap hit value, and possibly be in a awesome cap scenario next year if they can restructure Berry and Houston a bit.

Ummm

We’re drafting short handed this year because of the Mahomes trade and we are short handed talent wise due to trading Peters.

If they can use that 2nd from Peters to move up for a premier CB to replace him with, I’m all for it.

Nows the time to make moves like that with Mahomes on his rookie deal.

Stack the roster and let’s go win a title before he costs us 35m per season in a few years.

[RunKC]

If we go to the max and want someone before 30, I would imagine we would trade our 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 2019 2nd to trade up.

I don’t think it would happen, but I could see it if somehow a guy fell that was at the top of Veach’s board.

That is a lot of draft stock for one player. We have too many holes to do that imo. I hope we can get at least 5 solid players this draft with 2 starters. Mr. Veech would be kicking ass if he could do that.

This is what I WANT to do, as I said before everyone had a bitch fit concerning what KC could do.

No joke we're shorthanded, we either trade back and recoup more picks for the 2019 draft, because if the Chiefs are still maneuvering with less picks next draft season we'll be hamstrung once again.

[Buckweath]

I don't know why some think that this team has too many holes. If anything, it has few holes, which are S and CB and to a lesser extent LG and DL. I mean all teams have a few holes. The rest is just depth really which can always be improved.

The S position I am not worried as we have Eric Berry there and there are FAs to be had if things don't fall in place for Veach to draft a good safety.

The LG position, I am hoping for a 4th round pick there but between Erving, Witzmann and Ehinger, I don't think it is a major concern in all cases.

The Chiefs need a top CB prospect as Amerson and the rest of our CBs outside of Fuller and Nelson are unknowns and we know the fact that you can never have enough good corners.

This is why Veach wants to be agressive and trade up and I am all for it, especially considering the fact that we traded Peters for picks.

The DL needs a high pick too IMO but Veach might settle for a 3rd round pick there. Allen Bailey is just not good enough or reliable for me, plus he wilil be a FA next year.

[tmax63]

People need to remember player acquisition doesn't stop at the draft. There will be some players available that lose their spots because of the draft that are better than what the Chiefs have. I expect some of the depth to be improved by these.

I hope they get that kid McCringlebrerry from Penn State.
