Chiefs draft options: Ample possibilities
Which of the above combos would you be most happy with? What are some other combos that you think could possibly be the Chiefs’ first two picks? It’s been a long time coming but we’re finally here, happy 2016 NFL Draft week! Here are some rapid fire, final thoughts and predictions.
- The Chiefs will stay put at 28 and draft the highest rated defensive linemen on their board, either Vernon Butler or Chris Jones.
- John Dorsey will somehow find a way to get a third round pick or another fourth round pick, and will use this pick on Connor McGovern.
- The Chiefs will draft a wide receiver in the fourth or fifth round, and it will either be Daniel Braverman or Malcolm Mitchell.
- The Chiefs will select either Deiondre Hall or Rashard Robinson in the fourth or fifth round if they haven’t already taken a cornerback.
- With one of their two fifth round picks, the Chiefs will select an OLB, and it will either be Joe Schobert, Alex McCalister, Yannick Ngakoue, Tyrone Holmes, or Stephen Weatherly.
- The Chiefs will draft Morgan Burns in the sixth round to be their kick returner, all but assuring Knile Davis will not be on the Week 1 53 man roster.
- Moritz Boehringer and Destiny Vaeao will both be Kansas City Chiefs, either one as their seventh round pick or both as priority free agents.
- The Chiefs will not select a quarterback, but will try hard to sign Vernon Adams if he does not get drafted.
- The Chiefs will not select an inside linebacker. (I’m classifying Jatavis Brown as a LB/S hybrid so he’s still in play.)
