I think another DE makes a lot of sense. We need to replace Clark next year and going into the draft with an obvious need rarely helps. This supposedly deep DE class could be our way out with the right pick. Let the second rookie rotate with Clark and take over in 2023.

With 3 picks today 1 DT + 1 DE + 1 WR/TE could be a nice haul and may be some of those 7ths could help move up in 4th. 

RT too if there is one as we pick for bpa. Though I think we canbgroom a later drafted one or see how Niang and others do too.

Veach has four seventh rounders to play with.  He, for example, could package #62 and two sevenths for maybe #59.  Don't have a trade chart in front of me, but there must be some minor value in late picks.

I think another DE would be great.  I don't see Clark taking as many snaps as he did in the past. Of course everyone wants to find a replacement for Hill, but maybe a better balanced team would be better.  An improved D could negate the need to score 30 points a game and the whichever team has the ball last wins games.

Yeah, my heart can't take many more shootouts and last second wins/losses. A solid D can keep every game from turning into a track meet. And the offenses in the AFC are going to be insane this season.

Will KC get comp picks next year for Ward, Pringle, Hitchens and Matheau? 

Hitchens no, you do not get anything from a released player. Ward we should because of his contract and play time.  I think if a certain date passes then no comp picks for a FA and HB is getting to that point.  Pringle.....I doubt it.  Now take all that with who we signed and it looks like we maybe get one late round pick or none at all.

I guess a single 7th or something in this case.

For those who said he’s a Spags guy you nailed it.

12 picks sounds like a lot until you package several together for one player ...lol. Do late 7ths provide a better option than UDFAs?

[robgar 1,046]

this year yes.. if there was ever a year to have 4 7ths this is it.

Hmm. Who are the potential candidates for these draft picks knowing Veach’s history? 
I’m thinking offensive lineman and cornerbacks. Maybe.

EDGE, CB, WR.  I hoped for one of each if the value was there.  The WRs were gone.  Johnson fell for some unknown reason.  CB was the obvious choice.  Maybe they overpaid, but Veach himself said they had only 16-18 players graded first round.  I'm okay with the pick. 

My son said there was a lot of buzz about a high end player who supposedly that had had some gang related affiliations. That could have been Johnson. 

[robgar 1,046]

due to covid, i believe there will be a lot of guys left in these rounds that would of gone much higher, if there wherent so  many names this year.. a lot of scouts coverd 75 - 100 more players than they have in past years.. I believe your gonna find 4th and 5th round equivelant talent in the 7th  this year.

Barely. 

[robgar 1,046]

usually, its slightly better than a udfa..  as you can pick the guy you want..

but rememmber guys could stay in school a year longer, and the pool is really deeper this year than usual. 

[CranjisMcbasketball 780]

ok chiefs, lets get a WR, a couple more d line players, and move back one time and get a 3rd or 4th rounder back. we need lots of players to fill the roster

[SEMO 6,811]

I would like Bryan Cook, Troy Andersen, and Calvin Austin tonight.

Dammit

[dhitter 1,424]

Titans pick a bit of a head scratcher.

[dhitter 1,424]

Watson is MVS. Big receiver with speed and needs to develop his game. I'm okay with Watson gone.

Alec pierce needs to fall
