Good run stopper, another solid pick that fills a need.

Nice

lol Nnandi by Nature

Not a CB. Grade: F.

/ChiefsPlanet

Veach is really impressing me today

Good pick Veach!

Look like he might take Tamba old number 91.

I’m cool with it until I have a reason not to be! Yay Chiefs!!!

Our Run D has sucked so much these last few years. Apparently, we’re commited to changing that.

This pick still helps the secondary. More passing downs, ideally.

I like it. Now give a LG!

We've added two pieces to the front seven. Gotta go secondary now

Now that's a fantasy football name.

I just don't understand why we're having to trade up to get these guys.

Obviously because someone ahead of us wants them......

Now I'm really loving the Xavier Williams contract. Will take Nnandi a year or 2 to adjust. Loving Veach's approach. Build offense through free agency, build defense through the draft. The beauty of revolving your team around Mahomes.

Terdell 2.0 ftmfw!!!

-Jameson otr

So can we go get Reid in FA now so we can address the secondary

Here is CP in a nutshell...

When we would never trade up:

WTF didn'w we trade up to get that guy???

When we do trade up:

WTF are you trading up to get that guy???

It's becoming clear that Veach isn't a dead set SPARQ guy

When Chris Jones went down, our run defense went to ****.

Depth like this means Jones can have more rest. It also means we have solid players to fill in when one of the starters gets hurt

Safe to say they are tired of a soft ass defense that teams can run over at will.

Pretty much.

Veach saw the same thing I did in that playoff game. A weak ass defensive line.

I don't pay attention to draft prospects like I used to and even I've heard "Nnandi" is an great prospect at NT. I'm otter, and I approve of this pick!

Everyone knows that you need a stout front 7 to win championships. We finally invest big time in it under Veach and people still find things to bitch about...

When Jones went down it looked like a bottom 3 unit.

Even with Jones it was shitty

Jones is average

I think it’s time for bed.

Jones makes a few splash plays then is meh or gets hurt


That’s average

The Chiefs have been so weak up the middle in recent years. I think their run defense is going to be a lot better with Hitchens, Ragland, Nnandi and Williams.

Average looks exceptionally good On this d.

A+ post IMO

(Not really tho)

Hey guys - Typo in the thread title.

It's "Nnadi" like "naughty," not "Nnandi" like "nahn-dee."

Waiting on a mod to fix the thread title.

are you naughty?

First draft analysis I've seen using the term "burly booty". I guess that's better than having your dick flop out at the combine.

SO naughty.

You've lost your damn mind

Magic 8 ball says you both are...

I was beginning to wonder if anyone noticed that. That's a first time myself as well on seeing a "burly booty".

They should had said "Kim Kardashian booty" and be done with that one.

Meh...

LMAO... 'I think you've had enough for today, young man'

Veach and co clearly have a plan, and its all about tweener types at every defensive position... everyone should be able to do a little bit of everything, it would seem

Front 7 versatility is at a premium

Williams and Nnadi are both undersized and athletic, but squatty built noses who can quickly leverage guys to break off single blocks and hustle to the ball... maybe even play them at end here and there

Jones, and now Speaks, are both hybrid edge types who can kick inside in subpackages, or play any other position along the line when needed... its an everyone should be able to do a little of everything, defense

Robust build with burly booty

sounds like a good Asset to have

OH NO, why am I getting flashbacks the Read and React defense run by that DC I know I can't name here.

Awesome. That's what we want; VALUE.

Nnadi kinda gives me Mike Devito vibes. Which we’ve missed him quite a bit at times I believe.

The guy is going to shut down run plays often I believe. You could have him in on early downs and move Speaks or KPass inside on 3rd downs.

And you had to go ruin my boner becauuuuuuuuuuuuuse?....

We traded up for Mike Devito?

he's a big thrasher

Yep. Lots of tweeners mean lots of problems. Always has.

Not really. Jones makes some good plays. Then disappears. Then gets hurt.

PFF ranked him as the 12th best interior lineman in 2017 I think. He also played every game in 2017, he's had injuries but I think only missed half a game of actual playing time?

Anyway, I am okay with the Nnadi pick. He will do a good job stuffing the run and that's hard to dislike, but I feel like run stuffing potential has less value than pass rushing potential so I'm not sure I agree with the philosophy of the pick. I would rather buy run stuffers as they are cheap and take a flyer on a guy who could be a real disruptor as an interior pass rusher, although the draft is a little slim on them.

I'm not really on the "OMG WHY NO CB???" bandwagon but buying a run stuffing nose in FA costs a fraction of a quality corner in FA, so I would rather we tried to get 4 years of cheap coverage in the secondary than 4 years of cheap NT play from the draft.

Burly butt = hairy anus = Afro Ass

Is that what I’m hearing?

Thanks,
Harry Anus

I was happy with the pick.

I wanted him or Tim Settle in the 3rd and though Settle might be better. I'm a Noles homer though so I'm good.

Didn't reach on this pick, good player and good value with the pick. Low center of gravity, good push, solid against the run.

Veach clearly believes in building the defense from the front back and this guy is a pretty damned good NT to build around...:)

From Bob McGinn...

Yea I think Nnadi is a little better of a pass rusher than he’s given credit for.

11.5 career sacks is pretty good for a NT.

Not having a solid much less advanced NT hurt the Chiefs bad in 2017. When Reid first got here, he had two seasons of above average play on the defensive line. The subsequent seasons sucked in that aspect.
And if we're expecting CB's to be LB's, we're not doing it right.
I like what Veach is doing. He took an expected unsexy draft, and made the most with what he had, building according to his philosophy. If philosophy is "from the inside out", so be it.

Poe made me realize 40 time for NT isnt a big deal.

Umm yea our DL could use some of that

More good gifs of Nnadi on his page if anybody can embed them

He man handles the center and pushes him right back into the runner making the play

We can debate speaks versus a CB like Isiah Oliver (without trading up) all day and night long.

We can debate O’Brien and somebody from the fourth round of moving up for Yiadom ....and both sides can have points that are valid.

Drafting Derrick Nnadi though...this kid is gonna be special.

This was a damn good pick with high potential.

Chris Jones was one of the strongest natural DL I’ve seen in the last 5 years as a rookie. This guy is just as strong and he knows how to use it.

Jones problem is his height makes it hard for him to have good pad level bc guys get under him.

Nnandi is already at a low center of gravity. Reminds me of Ravens DL Brandon Williams. Hoping we are getting a similar guy.

That is some avengers shit right there!

Reminds me of Mike Daniels of GB.

Which is nice.

If he turns out to be anything close to that I'd be doing back flips... Hope you're right

His flag plays fell off b/c he no longer had a NT next to him who command double teams. Jones for a lot of attention from opposing offenses last season.

Is it weird that he kinda reminds me of Jerry Ball before Ball literally became a big fat ball?

Can he run like Dontari Poe?

Grunhard said on 810 this morning that someone with the Chiefs mentioned Nnadi to him back in January as a guy the team loved. I can't remember the guys name with the Chiefs though.

Said Nnadi was a run stopper and the hardest working guy on the team at Florida St.

Glad to get this guy signed. Teams wanting to run on the Chiefs like they did in the last few years will be disappointed. This D. will be stacked with run stuffers.

has "who's your nnadi" been trademarked yet?

About damn time.

Nnadi Boy has been though.

Love this quote by Veach. We need to build tough defenses like the Steelers and Ravens if we want to go far in January.

Got the QB, now build the defense up.

Nnadi, Speaks, Watts, and Smith all feel like guys the Ravens would draft.
