reesebobby 5,663 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Presumably with back to back picks we know who we are taking with both. Does it make any difference at all to the chiefs what order they are selected? Salary by position or anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Chief 1,092 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Whichever player's position commands the higher salary will be the second pick. Not much of a difference, but money is money. azchief21, Lamardirts and mex 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a number 1 overall left tackle make the same as a number 1 overall qb? Does position matter. Or just draft position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Position doesn't matter as the 4 year contract is based on where they're picked and 5th year option is based on position but draft slot doesn't factor into it. Where we pick, or any player from pick 11-32, it is the average of the 3rd through 25th highest paid players at their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okiechief1 425 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I would think with 29 they take the player they value and want the most. Make the pick at 29 say the Jets wanna move back into the first from 35. You believe the player you were going to take at 30 is still going to be there at 35 but you are taking a chance that they won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also #29 is a player that may not be traded up for by any other team so whomever they think could attract a trade down could wait for another 10 minutes for that expected offer to come in.
