Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

Plus, with multiple picks in the first four rounds and with the $22 million (approximately) in cap money saved for the next three years by not keeping Hill, Veach can go a lot of directions in addressing his two big need areas in the next month: wideout and defensive line.
Looks like GB is the team with the most urgent need at WR also best positioned to snake us in the draft at every decent pricepoint.
Appears as though the hope that a hidden WR gem falls to us also incorporates an implicit hidden wish for GB scouting incompetence. [Reply]

If there's a rush on WR's in the 20's, an edge player will almost certainly fall as a result.
We're pretty well-positioned in a draft that's super deep at both positions. [Reply]

The Chiefs and the Packers both needed a C last year.
The Packers took Josh Myers, C, Ohio State right before the Chiefs took Creed. [Reply]

I almost pointed out Creed and even Bolton in response to your "Kyzir isn't good" insanity yesterday.
But I couldn't remember Josh Myers' name and was too lazy to look it up.
Sometimes teams just get it wrong. Sometimes ALL of 'em get it wrong.
Every single team in football could've drafted Patrick Mahomes either with their own pick or by trading up (afterall, we traded all the way up from 27 to get there). None of 'em did.

Kyzir is good, dammit!!!
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t say he wasn’t good. I’m just open to the possibility that he’s not as good as we thought. [Reply]

Or Veach and Spags didn't think he'd fit what they were looking for. [Reply]
I have a feeling you won't be seeing any more second contracts being given to offensive skill positions or interior linemen.
The Chiefs will adopt a "spare parts" philosophy with those positions and spend more money on elite players on defense instead.
The Chiefs had to resign Kelce and Tyreek to second and third contracts to ease Mahomes' transition into the league. They no longer have to do that. Now Patrick will ease the transitions for skill position players. [Reply]
