Each spring, the NFL holds a draft in which players from the NCAA enter into a pool, and NFL teams take turns selecting from that pool of players. The worse your record was the previous year, the earlier you get to make your selection. Each team, barring forfeitures due to rule breaking, receives one selection per round for seven rounds. Compensatory picks are also awarded at the ends of rounds 3-7 for having your minority assistants hired as head coaches by other teams and for teams whose free agents signed with other teams outweigh in terms of contract dollar values the players that team brought in during free agency. From there, teams can trade their picks for other players and other draft selections even if those draft selections guaranteed selections in future seasons.

In the spring of 2021, the Kansas City Chiefs had a pick in the 4th round (144th overall) and they decided to select Joshua Kaindoh, who played DE for Florida State when he was in college. That's the player you didn't know about.

Oftentimes, the draft is a large part of a team's personnel-building strategy. Even picks in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th are viewed as valuable assets that teams can use to find good players, so if you're a fan of your team and you want to keep tabs on how they're doing and where they'll be going in future seasons, you should familiarize yourself with the rundown of your favorite team's draft selections from that year. My favorite team is the Kansas City Chiefs, so I happened to know who Joshua Kaindoh was off the top of my head, because I knew his name from the list of draft picks the Chiefs made in the 2021 draft.

Hope that helps!

What is Kaindoh doing on this play?? Yes, I know he’s a rookie and it’s only one play and I’m not calling him a bust. Frank Clark doesn’t bring much pass rush but he wouldn’t have allowed this run to go for a touchdown.

The motioned the TE over to get the backers to shift. Shifted the fullback into the backfield to have him essentially become a pulling tackle. Kaindoh saw the LT block down and chased with him. Guard goes second level to Niemann who bit on the first step. They hit the counter. https://t.co/ItxBBUTF6K pic.twitter.com/m2M9Hb43ua

He didn't feel the pulling guard coming.

He was trying to 'seal' the edge by tagging the LT and creating space. Then he'd disengage and fill the hole. Just as he starts to disengage, the RG pulling across the formation locked him up and drove him out.

Just lacked some awareness there. And probably should've tried to disengage sooner but didn't have a feel for the timing on stuff like that yet.

My guess is that he's a rookie who's had 'set the edge, do your job' drilled into his head so often that he overplayed it. He knew his job was to make sure that edge was set so he was a little overzealous in doing so and rather than a quick chuck before getting his head up to find the ball-carrier, he overcommitted and left himself open to getting taken out by the pulling G.

{shrug} Hard to know for sure. Not a great rep.

Rookie mistake i wouldnt knock him for that at this point. He's super raw. I mean super raw. He came from a garbage coaching staff known for not developing talent.

Yea, I was shocked to even see him in the game to be honest. I guess with Clark out they just don’t have the bodies, but I’d imagine they prefer not to have him on the field this early on.

This guy had a disappointing rookie season, but he was always a developmental DE with some high upside traits. He spent two months on IR with an ankle injury, then didn't really play again. Before that, he had 46 snaps and zero stats.

Hopefully, he can turn a corner this year - there's playing time and opportunity there for him.

Has the tools, needs the coaching. I dont know that he takes a big step this year, but id be happy if he looks like he knows where the ball is and is going. Last year his limited snaps looked like he just wanted to engage a lineman and try not to get pushed out of the play.

edit: just clicked the highlights for the first time in a year or more. **** i hope he pans out. He looks the part.

Yeah, just watched it too. Wow, guy hits like a train, and looks quick to the qb (but not necessarily the EZ, lol). Would love to see some of that on our DL this year.

Getting some production from him and Powell would be nice.

I hope he can improve but he has a lot to learn. Josh Kaindoh was sooo bad in that game against the Browns. It looked like he had no idea what was going on.

Any one of us could have scored on that play.

TK ended up being an average player his last year in KC. Joshua has a long way to go to even hit that bench mark.

[Kiimo]

It's like the same guys piss on every draft pick and then hope they fail so they can be right.

I can't imagine being that kind of fan

Based on last year's small sample size, pre-season and regular season, Kaindoh will be lucky to be on the roster in a year or two. He looked totally clueless.

It is what it is. Hitting on a high level Edge past the second round is very rare.
