Should Chiefs look to target a TE in the 2025 NFL draft?

In his ‘Daft on Draft’ first round mock, expert draftnik Cory Kinnan mocked Michigan TE Colston Loveland to the #Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a perfect start to their 2024 campaign and have a ton of momentum behind them ahead of a Week 7 Super Bowl LVIII rematch against the San Francisco 49ers.

Though things are going great for the defending champions at the moment, some pundits are already looking ahead to the 2025 NFL draft to predict who the Chiefs might add to sustain their budding dynasty.

This week, expert draftnik Cory Kinnan, who is the managing editor of Brown Wire, sent Michigan Wolverines tight end Colston Loveland to Kansas City in his latest Daft on Draft first-round mock draft, predicting that the Chiefs will look for the heir to Travis Kelce’s throne in April.

Though it would certainly make sense for the Chiefs to target a pass-catcher, Kelce may be able to allay the fears of his decline with an outstanding performance against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon in Week 7.

Browns Wire’s 5th anniversary: A look back over an eventful era

Browns Wire celebrates its 5th anniversary with a look back at all the radical changes to the team and the highlights of the era

Today, December 30th, marks the anniversary of the first publication of the Browns Wire. Our first article posted on Dec. 30, 2016.

We’ve come a long way since that first piece, written about Terrelle Pryor and his potential return to the Browns for the 2017 season,

Terrelle Pryor’s return must ‘make sense for both sides’

Only three Browns remain on the roster from Week 17 of the 2016 season: left guard Joel Bitonio, wide receiver Rashard Higgins and long snapper Charley Hughlett.

We’ve gone through a winless season, one that somehow didn’t result in the firing of head coach Hue Jackson. We saw the end of Joe Thomas’ illustrious career.

Our early focus was on the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, which became Myles Garrett. We got to do that all over again the very next year with the Baker Mayfield draft in 2018. There have been big trades for wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., with the latter ending poorly despite the initial buzz.

There have been three head coaches (not counting interim head coach Gregg Williams), three GMs and over 300 players that have come and gone in Browns uniforms. We lived through Hard Knocks, survived the weird Freddie Kitchens reign, the bizarre Brock Osweiler experience, the Josh Gordon saga, and Garrett’s helmetgate.

We’ve been there for the ugly winless season through the glorious playoff victory over Pittsburgh just 11 short months ago. There have been (including this one) 8,998 posts since that first one. We’ve shifted from me being the managing editor to Jared Mueller taking over, with hundreds of contributions from Josh Keatley, Brad Ward and many others over the years.

The most-read post came from the summer of 2020:

So from me and the rest of the Browns Wire family, thank you for allowing us into your lives and attention. It’s been quite an interesting, fun and eventful five years. Here’s to covering the Browns hoisting a Lombardi Trophy sometime in the next five…

Browns Wire update: Welcome Jared Mueller as the new managing editor

Browns Wire update: Welcome Jared Mueller as the new managing editor, taking over for Jeff Risdon

The Browns Wire has a new managing editor. Please welcome Jared Mueller as the top dawg on the site!

As the first and only editor the Browns Wire has ever had until Mueller came on board, it’s a strange feeling. Jared and I have been friends for years, roommates at the scouting combine in Indianapolis several times. He was handpicked to take over the reins, and I am thrilled to bring his years of Browns experience and knowledge over to the Wire network.

This does not mean goodbye for me. I am still proudly serving on the Browns Wire staff and covering my hometown team. But running two sites full-time–I’ve been the managing editor for Lions Wire since 2019, and Texans Wire before that–became too much for me to handle effectively. I have two kids (15 and 12) who are promising basketball players and the travel, the practices and the precious “dad” time were too important to sacrifice to wear both hats. Living in Michigan and covering the Lions on the radio and the Detroit Lions Podcast full-time made the difficult decision of which site to relinquish control somewhat academic.

So I’m still here, just in a reduced capacity. Jared will be the primary editor and handle the bulk of responsibilities during games and training camp. Our contributors will remain the same and are probably thrilled to have my overbearing grammar police out of office.

Please welcome Mueller as the new leader of Browns Wire, and thanks for the support and graciousness you’ve shown me personally since this site came to life at the end of the 2016 season. We’ve been through a lot together; this site was born with pieces on Terrelle Pryor’s fate, what to do with Cam Erving and my complaints about Hue Jackson’s lack of organizational focus. Oh how the times have changed!

I can’t wait to Dawg Check at the Browns’ first home playoff game in decades with you all. Mueller will be there too.

Video: A message from our editor on our 4-year anniversary

Thank you for 4 fun years of Browns Wire and for many great things to come

Today, December 30th, 2020, marks the four-year anniversary of Browns Wire’s existence. As the managing editor and person largely responsible for the editorial content and focus of the site, I wanted to give a quick “thank you” for the privilege of your attention over the years.

Thanks again to all those who have helped create content, interacted, supported, debated and enjoyed the Browns Wire and being part of the Browns fan community over the last four years. It’s an exciting time to be a Browns fan and we can’t wait to see where this team is heading!
