Even if we don't draft one in the first I hope draft one in the first 4 rounds. Round 3-4 would provide such great value and some more weapons for 12/13 personnel. Who are your targets in the 1, 2-3, late rounds? Mine would be Luke Musgrave, then Washington/Mayer, then Kuntz/Schoonmaker. Musgrave is my favorite in this class as well. Mocks/big boards love Kincaid too. I think Musgrave sounds like the one who could be elite as a receiving option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would just wait on tight end. This class is insanely deep. Lamardirts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of top picks is to get starter quality for four years of rookie pay. If the Chiefs pick a TE, it should be on day three and Bell's resigning may make that a moot point.

Because most years the tight end classes stink. Strike while the iron is hot. We already have developmental tight ends. Kelce is getting close to the age where they might want to extend his career with snap counts. Andy loves multiple TE sets. Just a few reason they should consider it. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to me, it makes more sense to draft a top TE prospect closer to the time Kelce is limited. Just hate to see the cheap rookie contract wasted.

Another way to look at it is that, no matter how talented, they'll likely need a few years to develop at the pro level. During that time they could be learning from the 🐐 in his prime. Kelce could teach a masterclass on route running. Lamardirts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that maybe another good receiving TE might be able to give you some of what JuJu did and lessen the perceived need at WR. Plus I had this crazy idea that a young TE working alongside maybe the best TE in history might be beneficial to his game. If you think that having 2 TEs on the field that are both elite receiving options is overkill, that's fine. I think it would give defenses fits and force them to pick their poison. But maybe you are right. Maybe they should wait until Kelce retires and then draft one and hope he can give you 70% of what Kelce does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t be fair if the Chiefs add this physical specimen to their offense. Washington is every bit of 6-foot-7, a great blocker, and would give the Chiefs a dominant tight end duo with Travis Kelce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,684 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 maybe 2nd? https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Darnell-Washington-TE-Georgia SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY Washington was used predominantly as a blocker while at Georgia and was impressive in his execution, he however given his frame and overall athletic skills is the kind of player that can become a much better pro than college player. He has the talent as a receiver to be integrated into a pro-level passing offense to a significant extent and his obvious tangibles would create mismatches, especially in the secondary. We see Washington as a high-potential prospect who can dominate at the next level and will likely be selected in the second or third round of the 2023 NFL draft. PLAYER COMPARISON Marcedes Lewis As a pass blocker he is outstanding and easily handles blitzing LBs on the edge. In the 72 instances when he was used strictly in pass protection he didn't give up a single pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he's squarely in the mix in the 2nd tier in this TE class, if you want a great blocker as well it's him or the Domer, and that kid will be long gone. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as a mid to high 2 rounder myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 968 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 If we had a choice at 31 for a wr or top 3 ranked TE who would u take? assuming LT are gone. id lean towards the TE especially if Kincaid is there. In my opinion this kid is like a wr/ TE. I don’t know if he lasts that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider anything other than OT the top priority but if we need to go another way for the pick I wouldn't prioritize any offensive position over defense. DL is a much bigger need and will have much bigger impact than any receiver we select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he falls to us at 31, a top TE and is there, I would not hate picking him up at all. Omar Ruiz @OmarDRuiz Utah star TE Dalton Kincaid is still recovering from a back injury he suffered late in the ‘22 season. He won’t work out today. He told me he was cleared to begin working out this past Monday & will be cleared for contact 6 weeks from then, May 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the right one is available, no EDGE, no WR, no DT, etc., fall to them out of the top 15 (like McDuffie), and if they rate him as first round quality. If would upset the home crowd, but it's possible that the Chiefs could trade DOWN with their first pick. Several mocks that I've played with make such a move advantageous. Example: None of the top five OTs are left and no top WR or EDGE has fallen far enough to be left at #31. Then why not trade down to get the guy they want at 38 or 40 rather than 31 and move up for later day two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
