Chiefs CORNERSTONE: Locked On Hosts BREAK DOWN Kilgore, Ty Montgomery, Kalen Black Selections

·11 min·1 clip

Why the Chiefs might draft a quarterback now with Patrick Mahomes sidelined until the season.

This episode concludes a Kansas City Chiefs mock draft series, hosted by Chris Clark from Chiefs Corner and Ryan Tracy from RGR Football. The hosts use their final three simulated draft picks to address team needs. They focus on positions like defensive back, wide receiver, and running back for their day-three selections. Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy specifically select defensive back Kilgore with their first of the remaining picks. They discuss Kilgore's versatility to potentially play both cornerback and safety in Steve Spagnuolo's defensive system. For their next pick, they consider but ultimately pass on drafting a quarterback like Carter Bradley or Luke Altmyer. The hosts instead select wide receiver Tyrone Montgomery, noting his small-school background and fan interest. Their final selection is running back Jaylen Black, whom they believe adds an explosive element to the backfield. The hosts reference Pro Football Focus rankings throughout, sometimes disagreeing with the listed player valuations. They structure their mock to have three picks in the fifth round, which they consider a successful outcome. A surprising claim is that Patrick Mahomes may not practice until right before the season, influencing their discussion on backup quarterback investment. The hosts believe Jaylen Black will be drafted much earlier than his PFF ranking suggests and won't last until the 200s. They position Black as a potential future contributor, even if he doesn't see significant time immediately. An interesting insight is their strategy to wait until later rounds for a running back, believing value can still be found. They also note the uncertainty surrounding wide receiver Tyquan Thornton's return as a factor in drafting Montgomery. The tone is conversational and analytical, blending fan enthusiasm with strategic roster-building discussion. The style is collaborative, with both hosts debating player fits and team needs based on their evaluations. Chiefs fans interested in draft strategy and late-round prospect analysis would love this episode. Listeners seeking breaking news or interviews with players might want to skip it.
