Trade: Chiefs are finalizing a deal to send franchise CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, per league sources.
Chiefs are expected to receive a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick flop, while Snead will sign a new contract. Trade is pending physical for Sneed. pic.twitter.com/GWjyKAgxZq

We've done it with some Rb's and WR's and such, but if you're hope is "Hey lets get a guy like Joe Alt at LT" I'd probably think other thoughts
We could always ask Joe's Dad if he'd come out of retirement for the fourpeat. [Reply]

It would take a Mahomes-like trade to make that happen.
Trading up into the late teens/early 20's has about the same hit rate as staying put at the end of round one. Anything less than a black buster trade is basically throwing picks away.

Trading up for a LT would be stupid.
Everyone went all apeshit for Anton Harrison, he's currently at RT on a terrible team. [Reply]

Also as far as LT goes it's not like NE found LT's. they had Matt Light for like 13 years and when he was gone they traded up for Nate Solder.
That's kinda the issue. Either keep bandaging it or go find a guy to put in there. [Reply]

What you'd have to have is a player like McDuffie fall for some physical reason or something.

I'm skeptical that happens though.
Which is why you have to remain flexible in round one. If there is a difference maker in reach go up and get him. I don’t care if it’s an DT, Edge, CB, OT, or WR. Probably not doing that for a RB, LB, G, S, etc. [Reply]

I'm kinda honing in on DT being picked pretty early. There's gonna be some good ones there for us. [Reply]

Wouldn't mind that.
Wharton's earned a contract and we don't really have anything behind him. That said, we've seemed to have a bunch of opportunities to pick up another DT alongside Jones and have shown little interest in doing so.
Turner, Benton, Brooks, Harrison, Jones -- all guys taken on the mid-2nd day who we could've had pretty easily.
We just didn't seem to be interested at all. It just seems waaaaaaay down on their list of priorities. [Reply]

I'd love to see another pass rushing threat at DT, or a speed rusher from DE, but yeah, wouldn't bank on it. Frankly, I'd love to see a true NT that could just occasionally collapse the pocket, it'd be a massive upgrade on Nnadi being pushed 5 yards back every snap. [Reply]
