Julius Chestnut is kind of a thumper. So is Haskins.
I think the division we play in helps. We should be able to go at least 2-4.Then you have the Patriots, Vikings, and Commanders which are likely wins on paper. 6 wins certainly seems likely, imo. But Levis will determine a lot of that. If he can utilize the offensive pieces we have and take a step forward combined with what should be a very solid defense., then 7-8 wins seems very likely.

More than anything, I want to see Levis show he can be a franchise QB. I can stomach another 5-6 win season if Levis shows he is legit.
As 2nd and 3rd round picks respectively, sure. As top 7 picks without having Brady, Mahomes, Andy Reid, and hindsight? Absolutely not. When was the last time a 1st round pick TE worked out? I think someone mentioned Tony Gonzalez earlier. Maybe Greg Olsen? Meh.
There are so many mid round pick TEs that outproduce top picks, and the TE position overall is very cheap. Kelce and Gronk are perfect examples. A 1st round TE is just not worth it in my option, even if they are a Veron Davis freak athlete.
In your scenario, if we trade back and pick up an extra 1st rounder, then I guess it's a luxury pick and more palpable, but not at 7. At 7 it needs to be LT, WR, or EDGE (which I'm not a huge fan of this year).
Not sure if it was posted anywhere, but nfltraderumors posted this trash article:
Chiefs & Titans Grades For The L’Jarius Sneed Trade
So the trade was widely panned for the Chiefs not receiving enough in return. Meanwhile the Titans give up a FUTURE 3rd rounder and sign him to a pretty reasonable contract compared to recent CB contracts, but somehow the Chiefs get the better grade?
The Chiefs media bias is exhausting.

I've become a Payton Wilson fan. Not top of the 2nd, but if we can trade back...

I'm good with him at 38. ILB is our #2 need right now, IMO. IF not for injury concerns, he would be an easy top 20 pick with his production, frame, and athletic ability.
JROB, is that you?
Hey now, you can take guys that are injury risks as long as they are outside the 1st round.
I don't think any of us would have had an issue with the 21 daft if in the first round we went Darrisaw or Rousseau or everyone's favorite choice, Joe Tryon. And then drafted Farley in round 2.
In fact, everyone would have probably called J-Rob a genius for getting a top 15 talent in the 2nd round.
Haskins thumping women doesn't count.
For as long as I've followed football, free agency and draft grades are basically the equivalent to "reverse Jim Cramer" in the stock market. If you get A's for everything you did in free agency and the draft you know your team is about to suck.
I've seen terms for the Sneed trade/contract etc... but on the Titans app theres still no mention of signing him. Every other FA signing is there but him. So is it not official still?
He already passed his physical though and agreed to terms.
L’Jarius Sneed Passes Physical With Titans, Agrees To Terms On New Contract.
Ok so still not official until the contract is signed. I'm sure it'll happen in the next few days.
Taylor Swift effect
uke:That's her effect on me.Did the Chiefs break CBA rules when trading L’Jarius Sneed?
Mike Florio with NBC Sports was also confused by the Chiefs’ decision and thinks the front office might have flirted with breaking Collective Bargaining Agreement rules on the matter. Florio suggests the Chiefs didn’t intend to extend Sneed when they placed the franchise tag on him, which isn’t allowed under the current rules set by the NFLPA.
“At some point, that approach potentially runs afoul of Article 4, Section 8(b) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which provides that “[a] Club extending a Required Tender must, for so long as that Tender is extended, have a good faith intention to employ the player receiving the Tender at the Tender compensation level during the upcoming season.”
It’s not supposed to be a device for trading the player. The team is supposed to want to keep the player, at least for another season. In this case, it could be argued (if Sneed or the NFL Players Association were inclined to make the argument) that the Chiefs did not have a good-faith intention to to employ Sneed in 2024.”
