The Chiefs are the club “making the most noise” about a trade into the top-10 picks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (Twitter link). However, Rapoport cautions that Kansas City could simply be putting in due diligence, and tweeted earlier this evening that “everyone” is contacting teams in the top-10 to feel out prices.
The natural inclination is to assume the Chiefs are aiming to move up for a quarterback, but clearly that has not been reported as of yet. Kansas City has been linked to quarterback upgrades all offseason, even though team management has publicly stood by incumbent Alex Smith. Texas Tech signal-caller Patrick Mahomes, specifically, has been tied to the Chiefs for weeks, but North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky or Clemson’s Deshaun Watson could also be in consideration.
Of course, the Chiefs could conceivably be looking at other positions. Depending on how high the team is willing to move, they could possibly be going after a running back such as Christian McCaffrey or Leonard Fournette, a wide receiver like Mike Williams, Corey Davis, or John Ross, or a defensive lineman such as Solomon Thomas or Jonathan Allen.
Trading up for a Quarterback……. none are worth it……
I don’t know why but i think they are moving up for McCaffery. He seems to be the prize everyone wants.
Good call on your part. I could definitely see that being the case.
2nd Pick so Browns then would have to Draft Mitch at one just so Chiefs don’t get him at 2nd Pick if get it.
Trade up won’t b announced until after #1 picked. Or which ever pick they move to. They have to be sure they get the one they want.
If Chiefs want a QB got to know get ahead of Jets to get Watson.
every year owners pressure the front office on qbs that aren’t nearly as good. Trubisky may be an NFL QB but I don’t see him as a franchise guy. Watson is the guy who might not be the prototypical NFL QB but just plays his best when it counts
