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

6:12

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
