2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Love all the old accounts coming alive!

Don't downplay the importance of a QB.
The Chiefs don't win a playoff game without Mahomes.

If Caleb Williams is even close to Mahomes in talent, I would sell everything to bring him in.

The good news is leadership brought in a guy that coached both Caleb and Mahomes.
If they do or don't trade for the 1st pick, it's probably the correct decision.

Next question is how close is Daniels.

Agreed. Peters, Quinn and KK will be closest to the truth on Williams, Maye and Daniels than any of us. If they interview them right (and between them they have oodles of experience) then they'll have what they need to decide who to pick (and therefore whether to trade up to be sure of getting their guy). plus, what we see of all 3 is what the media is showing; unless any or all of them are great actors, sitting across from them and asking the right questions will illicit a strong picture of their character and potential. In the end, we all know the only way to be sure is when they get out on the field.

Only concern for me is giving up too much in a trade that we then can't fix the rest of the roster, and worse, if that trade doesn't pan out. You don't want to sell your Ferrari and end up with a BMW (or worse) when you could have kept your Ferrari and still gotten a Porsche too.

That is the best take thus far. Bravo!

True. If the new leadership believes they can develop Daniels into a Top 10 QB, then they may not feel the need to sacrifice a lot of talent for Williams. That would set us up to stay at #2 and reap the benefits.
