What if the Chiefs offered Creed and their third for Buffalo's first? Would that be preferable to drafting a center in the first and then only having over more pick until the end of round 4?
IMO, the entire front office should be fired if they made that move.

If the best player remaining on his board isn't a WR, Beane should trade down. Even Latu. I doubt he'll still be there but if he is, some team will want to jump up to get him. Trade back and then select a WR.
NO excuse. Enough is enough. They have to make a serious investment at the position. We have one WR on the roster capable of playing outside full time and nobody with future #1 upside when Diggs inevitably leaves next year.
A lot of the newer mock drafts have WRs being pushed down with teams snatching up corners, OL and DL guys and overdrafting QBs. That could be a good sign.
I agree with you. I wasn't there last year, but I am there now. Just keep adding offensive weapons, specifically WR.

I will never be against improving the OL!
Even if I'd like them to be looking for a young WR1 to eventually take over for Diggs, protecting Josh is just as important.
The Chiefs spent quite a few picks on linemen & now have a solid core of guys. I'd be thrilled for us to do the same.
Sorry for the rant Dingus! and this is not directed toward you, just my general angst.
I will say that the Chiefs hit on a second-round pick, a center who gets away with holding on every play and got lucky with a sixth with an excellent guard in Trey Smith. They will lose one of those guys in free agency next year. They do not have a LT and their LG and RT were big free-agent signings.
They missed on Darian Kinnard, they missed on Lucas Niang, who knows what Wanya Morris is. They have not done a great job drafting offensive linemen.
I understand they have drafted pretty well, especially 2022. But they have hit on 2 homegrown linemen. We have 3 homegrown linemen starting for us right now. This idea that they are amazing drafters is a misconception. They hit on Mahomes and Chris Jones, two guys drafted by John Dorsey. He also drafted Kelce a while back. KC had a really good 2022 draft and found Rashee Rice last year. The Bills had 34 homegrown players on their 53 last year. The Chiefs had 32. Mahomes and Jones are two of the best in the league and people think Humphrey is amazing because PFF. But that and the Super Bowls blind some of us. They are good drafters who hit on 3 hall of famers with John Dorsey at the helm.

We have two starters, and we need some depth.
This is a bit of a deep dive, but this is what I got....
James Lynch, former Baylor Bear who has played all across the defensive line in Minnesota. Tore his acl last summer, so coming off an injury. But he could be a cheap buy with a really interesting pedigree. He can play nose, 3 tech, or some defensive end as well.
PJ Mustipher is a huge nose tackle from Penn State. He's been a journeyman, but he is the kind of big body you can throw in there and he can have an impact and would be very cheap.
Ross Blacklock is a former second-round pick who has busted. Maybe worth a look at the very least.
Austin Johnson is another former second-round pick and another Penn State guy. Another mostly nose tackle, but he has been productive in multiple spots. I think he could make for a possibly interesting add. He is probably the best player on this list.
Bryan Mone was recently released by the Seahawks. 6-3, 345 he is a huge dude and could be an interesting backup to Daquan Jones. He looked like he was having a successful career and the Hawks gave him a big extension, then he hurt his knee is 2022. He missed all of 2023.
In some other thread I talked about Marlon Davidson and Taven Bryan as possible backup pass-rush-type dudes.

Is anybody tracking the Pegula jet? or is the new cash-to-cap making these guys take a Greyhound bus? I kid, I kid.

well after reading Tim Graham's athletic article on McGovern just now....I pretty much am wrong and this team in no way will take a center in the first round. McGovern is the center.
https://theathletic.com/5348891/2024/03/19/connor-mcgovern-bills-center-transition/
So its down to safety, D-line and WR.
Any cliffs notes on the article? I really like the idea of McGovern at center so I wanna feel good about myself!

Davidson might have the size for DT but he's a DE but not that great at getting to the QB. Taven might be an okay guy behind Oliver as long as he not looking for starting money I'd be okay adding him but feel Joseph-Day offers more.
Yeah I feel like he has some crossover appeal. I know Atlanta used him inside and out, but that was awhile ago. Obviously, he hasn't been super productive, but scouring the free agent market I was trying to find some younger guys with some pedigree. Bryan I see as a bit similar to Oliver, which could be good as a backup.
I do think the Joseph-Day signing should happen regardless of what else they do at the position. I think he would be a perfect rotational 1 tech to go along with Jones.

Soup guys? I could see them adding some depth O-Line. There are a bunch of centers/guards out there who could add depth or compete with Edwards that will be cheap. Brian Allen makes sense as a Kromer guy who was released. Evan Brown is young with potential.
At WR I would take a peek at Laviska Shenault. He isn't quite a traditional wide receiver, but a guy that you can maybe get for the minimum who can do a lot of things on the field. Durability is the biggest concern, but there have been times he has looked like Deebo Samuel or Cordarelle Patterson out there. He's still just 25 years old and I feel like he is a toy Brady could make use of. He can play inside and out, some RB, and returns kicks. 6-1, 227.
At DE Rasheem Green could make some sense. He has some sack production in the past, is a traditional DE, and is still young. James Smith-Williams is a depth end from the Commanders who has size and length and is coming from the same system. Those guys aren't really moving the needle, but could be functional cheap depth. The edge FA class is a barren wasteland outside of Mike Danna and Jadaveon Clowney.
At DT, I would like to see them maybe sign a 1 tech like Joseph-Day and then take a shot at a former highly drafted guy for the minimum like Marlon Davidson or Taven Bryan, guys who can give you some rotational interior pass rush.

28 is basically round 2 - but you get the 5th year option.
I get it, I just don’t think they value the position there at that point in the draft. It just doesn’t seem to Beane’s MO. Dating back to his time in Carolina, they have literally never drafted a IOL in the first round. Just doesn’t seem likely to me.-

I can’t see them doing it. They don’t draft IOL and RTs in the first round

Ashtyn Davis is also a FA FS option to keep an eye on.
Davis is interesting. I think the issue is that he hasn’t done anything at all as the Jets never really gave him a shot after his rookie year. He is also going on 28. He’s actually older than Taylor Rapp. But he has some traits that are interesting and could be an interesting upside play. -
Ayyyo my guy! He’s a perfect fit for what we do. Great athlete, tackles, has a nose for the football.

I like Simmons a lot. I also like Blackmon who some have mentioned medicals on. But it would not bother me for them to wait until after the draft to make a move at the safety position. If you aren't signing Simmons, it probably makes sense to wait.

Taron had a subpar 10-yard shuttle during his combine workout.
I don’t like this deal one bit.He also got decapitated by a football in the gauntlet! But he still made it!

Yuck. Very underwhelming. Poor efficiency. Rather draft a guy late vs Mattison.
Yeah I mean I would look at him as a role player the way he was a couple of years ago. You just need a guy to get like 300-400 yards and 5-7 TDs which is what he was and he was very efficient at that job. In terms of being full time starter, he was not very good. IMO a guy like that complements the RB room.
-
I'd try to grab Alexander Mattison for very very cheap. He has proven he can play, but can't be the main guy. He would be perfect in that Murray role and is still young. he was also released, so no comp pick impact. I also happen to really like Ty Johnson.

He started 13 games on a defensive unit that allowed 17.9 points per game (2nd in the NFL).
And before anyone claims he was just hidden around the other secondary talent, remember that Jordan Poyer was banged-up that entire year and playing with one-arm, Tre White didn't even get on the field until Thanksgiving and our cornerback spots were handled mostly by Dane Jackson and two rookies (Christian Benford, Kaiir Elam).
Hamlin wasn't a turnover-machine or an All-Pro. But he was solid at the very least. And considering it was just his second year, I think he still has/had promise to grow into something more. I'm not sure where he's at physically or mentally, and that makes all the difference. But I wouldn't necessarily count him out.
I think you have to count him out, and maybe be pleasantly surprised that he becomes anything again. If the brain trust here is betting on him being something again, that would just be terrible planning. In all likelihood, he is cut at the end of camp. Hamlin was okay a couple of years ago before the crazy stuff he endured, but I don't think he will ever even return to that "okay" player much less ever become more than that.
At this point, futures deal guy like Kendall Williamson is more interesting and more likely to have an impact than Hamlin is. JMO.

Do we know what number he’s choosing?
Finally something that matters! Nah he said “we’ll see about that” when asked in the press conference. I’m going to guess 0 or 1.-

It’s crazy to me that Pickett is actually a couple months older than Jalen Hurts.

Fixing Tom Telesco's mess.
Oh and drafting a receiver at #5.
Is Blackmon still out there? I'll keep my fingers and everything else crossed.
Haven’t heard anything on Blackmon yet! I will join you in the crossing of things -

I'm good going cheap at safety. The breadth of the FA market means we can get solid starters in the cheap 2nd wave.
I still want to see where Simmons goes. But I really like Blackmon as well. Spots are drying up!-

McGovern talks moving to center
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by MrEpsYtown
I've been trying to say, he's a natural center. He was a center in high school. A lot of centers are converted from other positions. He's been playing center for a long time. I guess Penn State and Dallas needed him more at guard. I think he's going to be excellent at center and I am glad he is excited for the opportunity. A bit more stout than Morse. And I know I am in the minority here, but I really like David Edwards.
