What surprise do the Kansas City Chiefs have in store?

by

Typically, you can bet that Kansas City will go off script at least once each year during the NFL Draft.

KANSAS CITY — Los Kansas City Chiefs They are usually a guarantee for some surprise of NFL Draft. His first-round pick last year was a running back, less than three months after his starter rushed for more than 100 yards and scored two touchdowns in the Super Bowl.

In 2019, his first selection was a wide receiver, this despite having a squad with Tyreek Hill Y Sammy Watkins. In 2017, they made a huge trade to move up the national team. to choose a quarterback in the first round for the first time in 34 years.

The Chiefs They have eight picks in this year’s draft, the first being the 31st overall pick. They have one selection in each round except for two shifts in the fourth and fifth rounds, and none in the seventh.

Although there is no way to say exactly what to expect from Chiefs In this year’s draft, his positional needs could serve as clues. There is a glimpse, position by position, of what the Chiefs:

Quarterback

The Chiefs they certainly don’t require a player here. Have to Patrick mahomes as the headline, Chad Henne as the backup, and some prospects to develop, so investing a high pick or even spending a low round on someone to develop doesn’t make much sense.

Odds of recruiting a quarterback: Not good.

Runner

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Y Darrel Williams top the order of depth, but Chiefs they don’t have much behind them. They have required two running backs in recent seasons, when injuries, and a midseason cut from the starter, left them searching for answers. The Chiefs did not start

Odds of recruiting a broker: They don’t bet against it, particularly medium or low rounds.

Open receiver

The Chiefs count on Hill as your main player here, but no one tried as a replacement for Watkins as second in order. Mecole Hardman, first player selected by Kansas City in 2019, he’s next in line, but the Chiefs they haven’t been comfortable with him in a full-time role during his first two seasons. That may change this season, but if the Chiefs were confident in it, would they have tried to sign JuJu Smith-Schuster?

Odds of drafting a wide receiver: Very good

Tight wing

It won’t be a priority while Travis Kelce keep playing like you did last season, but will turn 32 in October. Is it time for Chiefs consider their eventual replacement? Kansas City He hasn’t drafted a tight end since 2015.

Odds of recruiting a tight end: It could be the year.

Offensive line

Since the end of last season, the Chiefs they have signed Joe Thuney, Kyle Long Y Austin Blythe, and rehired to Mike Remmers. They also await the returns of Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Y Lucas Niang after they chose not to participate last season, due to the pandemic of COVID-19. But, they still don’t have an obvious candidate to line up at left tackle. The Chiefs They’ve selected an offensive lineman in the first three rounds in the past five drafts, so despite their free agency activity, they may need young talent here.

Odds of recruiting an offensive lineman: Almost a certainty, and probably more than one.

Defensive line

After losing to Tanoh Kpassagnon Y Alex Okafor, the Chiefs they may require assistance on shore. His current best three at the position are Frank Clark, Mike Danna and the situational player Taco Charlton. They are not going to start the season like this.

Odds of recruiting a defensive lineman: Very good, particularly a player who attacks from the shore.

Linebacker

Damien Wilson, one of two linebackers who played more than 500 defensive chances for the Chiefs Last season, he emigrated as a free agent. Willie Gay, last year’s second-round pick, is the most likely candidate to increase his playing minutes, but Chiefs they do not have great depth, so they might want to spend a shift in the Draft 2021 here.

Odds of recruiting a linebacker: They will if they find good value in a certain position.

Back defensivo

The Chiefs they have some good young players in the corners with L’Jarius Sneed, Charvarius Ward, DeAndre Baker Y Rashad Fenton, but an upgrade would be welcome if available. The best three safeties of the season return.

Odds of recruiting a defensive back: More likely a cornerback than a safety.

Can Zach Wilson handle the pressure of playing in New York?

by

Being the Jets quarterback is a tough job, one of the toughest in any sport.

FLORHAM PARK – There’s a long way from being the biggest kid on campus to the biggest market in the country, and it can be overwhelming to play quarterback in New York. The 24/7 scrutiny can get to the head of a player (see: Geno Smith), the paparazzi can find you at any time (Mark Sanchez) and media attention can cause a professional among professionals (Chad Pennington) suffer their bad moments in front of the cameras.

In 11 days, New York Jets expected to draft Zach Wilson from BYU, who was born, raised, and attended school in Utah. Are you ready for? Gotham? Can you lead a perennial loser out of the abyss?

The college football analyst for ESPN, Kirk Herbstreit, who spent time with Wilson and other coveted prospects in the quarterback position to film the new series of ESPN “QB21” offered his perspective this week in a conference call with reporters.

“What I liked about Zach Wilson is that he’s the guy with something to prove, “he revealed Herbstreit. “He wears a wristband that says ‘Prove them wrong,’ and I was like, ‘Who are you trying to prove wrong? Everyone loves you.’ But, he wasn’t heavily recruited. He grew up in Salt Lake. His father played in Utah. Utah didn’t look for it. And I think from that point on, he’s had to prove something, and he’s not letting go. “

Herbstreit mentioned how Wilson, wishing to stay accurate last spring during the quarantine for COVID-19, drove 10 hours (back and forth) to Southern California to meet with his personal coach, the former quarterback of BYU, John Beck. He did it several times.

“Mental toughness is what it takes to go [a New York]. I do not think, personally, that I would question it “, revealed Herbstreit. “I’d be careful with him and his baby face growing up in Utah and judging a book by its cover. This guy is well put together. I love guys who have something to prove, and I think he’s not too emotional about it, hanging out social networks to say ‘You’ll see.’ It’s nothing of the kind. It’s like an internal fire that’s lit, which I think is real. “

Actually, there is no way to accurately predict how a 21-year-old will deal with pressure. Sam Darnold He always conducted himself professionally, saying he benefited from playing at the collegiate level in a large market like USC, but did not produce on the field.

Being the Jets quarterback is a tough job, one of the most complicated in all sports.

Too many puddings?

The biggest question regarding Wilson It is the level of competition he faced at the collegiate level. As a starting quarterback against AP-ranked teams in his career, he went 2-4., with eight touchdown passes and five interceptions, significantly worse than the rest of his games.

This must be taken into account in the evaluation of Wilson, but the Jets they are obviously at ease with that.
