Hey, welcome

1:20

to on the clock a collaboration between the packet

1:23

a podcast and the draft fellows. I am Andrew

1:25

Murte. That is Kyle Fellows together. We

1:27

are the draft fellows and leading up to

1:29

the draft. We have been doing a series covering

1:31

picks one through 32. Every

1:33

team's biggest needs and who should who they

1:35

should be considering at their pick. And

1:38

you can check out the video of all

1:40

of the previous episodes on draft fellows channel

1:42

on YouTube, the audio versions on packaday. And

1:44

I cannot believe this. We're into the second

1:46

to last pick. I feel

1:48

like this has gone so fast.

1:50

But we are here. Pick 31

1:52

Kansas City Chiefs, Kyle. Let's

1:55

get started Unbelievable on the

1:57

clock with the Kansas City Chiefs.

1:59

We are the draft is right

2:01

here We're like on top of the

2:03

NFL draft and what the Kansas City Chiefs

2:05

do is gonna be fascinating This is a

2:07

team that we expect to be in the

2:10

mix every year But that doesn't

2:12

mean that they're not retooling things in

2:14

this roster all the time to try to

2:16

stay relevant, make sure that they fill

2:18

their needs. So right now, at the top

2:20

of their list of needs, they're probably

2:22

looking offensive line, whether that's guard or tackle.

2:24

And then they could also dabble in

2:26

the defensive line market of this draft as

2:28

well. And I'm really curious what they

2:31

will do if they potentially decide to address

2:33

the offensive line. Obviously, Joe Thuny trade. to

2:35

Chicago got all the headlines. We talked

2:38

about that at Ozium when that, when

2:40

that went down, it appears that Kingsley,

2:42

Sue, and Mataya will get a chance

2:44

along the interior. Nick Norzad is actually

2:46

one of my favorite players from last

2:48

year's draft. He's also there in

2:50

Kansas city, but he is kind of

2:52

a center, but graded out really well

2:55

in past protection this last year. So

2:57

maybe he earns some snaps at guard

2:59

as well. We'll see. Um, but a

3:01

tackle Jalen Moore will play left

3:03

tackle for them in 2025 and maybe.

3:05

2026, but that's not a slam

3:07

dunk when you look at the

3:09

contract and Joanne Taylor is under contract

3:11

at right tackle through 2026, but

3:13

the chief saved $20 million if they

3:15

cut Taylor before 2026. So lots

3:17

of change potentially coming on the horizon

3:19

for the Kansas City chiefs on

3:21

the offensive line. So you got to

3:23

keep an eye there in the

3:25

draft. The other direction that they could

3:27

go is defensive line. Like I

3:30

mentioned, Chris Jones, obviously a stud for

3:32

this team, but giving him someone

3:34

beside him. would just be life -changing

3:36

for that defense. Jones was the

3:38

top -created defensive lineman in the NFL

3:40

according to PFF, but their second

3:42

-best defensive lineman right now is

3:44

expected to be former Packer Mike

3:46

Pennell, who is 34

3:48

years old. So I think that an

3:50

upgraded defensive line is something that

3:52

they could definitely consider as well. Absolutely.

3:55

And if you start to look at players that

3:58

might be available when Kansas City is on the clock,

4:00

you're talking about interior offense alignment. Unlikely

4:03

that both of these players would

4:05

slide, but maybe a Tyler Booker or

4:07

potentially Grace Abel from North Dakota

4:09

State could find their way at this

4:11

part of the draft, although I

4:13

think they're probably both gone at this

4:15

point. Kelvin Banks Jr. out of

4:18

Texas is a really intriguing guy, played

4:20

tackle in college, expected to slide

4:22

inside in the pros. If they want

4:24

to stick with a... more traditional

4:26

offensive tackle. Josh Simmons, you

4:28

know, that this is a player who

4:30

would have gone really early if not for

4:32

the injury questions. Potentially getting

4:34

a really good value down at

4:36

the end of the first round.

4:38

One of my favorite players is

4:41

Oregon's Josh Connerly, Jr. And I

4:43

think he could be a really

4:45

fun developmental player. And then Minnesota's

4:47

Arante Urserie, who is all traits

4:49

and very little experience. Well,

4:51

actually he has a lot of experience. He

4:53

needs a lot of work on his technical

4:55

ability. And then, you know, if they want to

4:57

go defensive line, this is, of course, a

4:59

very deep defensive line draft. Walter

5:01

Nolan could potentially be available here.

5:03

those Darius Alexander, maybe Oregon's

5:05

Derek Harmon slides into this range.

5:08

But there's definitely to be some really high

5:10

quality defense alignment available at this point.

5:12

So you talked about need. I talked about

5:14

some of the players who could be

5:16

available. But are there some players that you

5:18

believe the chief should be targeting here? Planning

5:21

any exciting trips this year? I

5:23

bet something you might not be planning

5:25

is learning the local language. Well,

5:27

with Babel, you only need a few

5:29

weeks to learn. This year,

5:31

speak like a whole new

5:33

you with Babel, the language learning

5:35

app that gets you talking.

5:37

Babel's quick 10 minute lessons, handcrafted

5:39

by over 200 language experts,

5:41

get you to begin speaking your

5:43

new language in three weeks

5:46

or whatever pace you choose. And

5:48

because conversing is the key

5:50

to really understanding each other in

5:52

new languages, Babel is designed

5:54

using practical, real world conversations. My

5:56

wife and I are planning

5:58

to visit Canada, and my French

6:00

is Rusty. I'm refreshing what

6:02

I learned way back in high

6:04

school and training my pronunciation

6:06

and accent with Babel's speech recognition

6:08

technology too. Let's get more

6:10

of you talking in a new

6:12

language. Babel is gifting our

apply. All

6:30

right. So I think Kansas City

6:32

should be responsible. And I think they

6:34

should probably take a defensive lineman. I

6:36

think Tyler Williams could be a

6:39

fun fit that's there. He's kind of

6:41

that early second round player that maybe

6:43

sneaks into the first, depending on how

6:45

you value Andrew mentioned. Walter

6:47

Nolan, Derek Harmon, they

6:49

could also be, you know, responsible

6:51

and invest in the offensive line. All

6:53

that makes sense. But I'm gonna

6:55

be really irresponsible with this suggestion. What

6:57

if the chiefs... kind of unexpected?

7:00

What if they drafted a player like

7:02

Travion Henderson late in the first

7:04

round, right? That could be electric and

7:06

add another dynamic player to an

7:08

offense that already has a ton of

7:10

speed. We know the Kansas City

7:12

loves speed and I'd probably do the

7:14

responsible thing if it was up

7:16

to me and add to the trenches.

7:18

But with questions around Isaiah Pacheco

7:20

at the future of the running back

7:22

position, I'd love to see them

7:24

choose chaos and maybe add somebody like.

7:26

Trayvon Henderson in the situation. Yeah,

7:28

one of my my chaos things

7:30

about this year's draft is I

7:33

think Trayvon Henderson could go like

7:35

really early like way earlier than

7:37

we're expecting. Yep. And if

7:39

he did fall to this point in

7:41

the draft and Kansas City took a

7:43

chance on him, I'm sure cheese fans

7:45

are saying Don't do this again, because

7:47

this is right around where they drafted

7:49

Clyde Edwards Lair. I think Edwards Lair

7:51

might have been 32 that year. And

7:54

it's probably some trauma, but

7:56

I was yelling that year,

7:58

take Jonathan Taylor. and

8:00

said they took CEH. That

8:03

didn't work out so well, but Trayvon Henderson

8:05

is electric. Like he's not

8:07

Jameer Gibbs. Nobody's Jameer Gibbs, but

8:09

think that style of player. And

8:11

so, you know, what he could

8:13

do to help create some more

8:15

open coverages for Patrick Mahomes to

8:17

start getting the ball down the

8:19

field again. Also, as a really

8:21

good receiving back, I think that

8:23

would be really fun against City.

8:25

So sign me up if that's

8:28

the direction they go. I love

8:30

the idea of Josh Simmons falling

8:32

into their lap because this is

8:34

a player who has a top

8:36

10 upside and they can afford

8:38

to bring him along slowly. I

8:40

could see them swinging for more

8:42

upside with somebody. I talked about

8:44

Oregon's Josh Connerly Jr. I really,

8:46

really like that value. I

8:48

think he has elite tools but

8:50

needs development and the Chiefs always

8:52

have a really good strong long -term

8:54

outlook. That's the benefit of being

8:57

a dynasty. You know

8:59

your jobs are safe. So I

9:01

think they could have any

9:03

of those two offensive tackles playing

9:05

really good football by January

9:07

when the Chiefs are really concerned

9:09

about playing their best football. Absolutely.

9:11

So lots of different ways the Chiefs

9:14

could go with it. Maybe they play it

9:16

safe. Maybe they add to the trenches.

9:18

Maybe they do something really wild and add

9:20

electric playmakers and speed to the offense

9:22

just to help. Patrick Mahomes continue to be

9:24

a headache for the rest of the

9:26

NFL, but we will know in just a

9:29

few short days. So thanks for joining
