It's a great pick. When philosophy, foresight, and good luck come together.

Do you guys know if Gaines put on any muscle this offseason?

Not really worried about his speed, just watch how he played against Cooks who is pretty close to as fast/quick as it gets.

No but I hear Eric Fissure has added 30 lb of muscle!

Should be interesting to see how he does at the NFL level. He looks like he has what we need but your right, he is a bit slow for a CB. He ran a 4.51 at the combine. :eek: Let's hope he has recovery speed.

Some things I thought were interesting from John Dorsey's press conference on the Peters pick:

Says Peters is the best DB in the last 4 drafts.

Hesitated when asked if Peters was one of the 12 impact guys in this draft. Then said "maybe" ...for a guy as transparent as John always is, I don't think he was one of the 12.

When asked if he could start day one, he said he has the tools to be a great player "after year one"...to me, that indicates he doesn't see him starting opposite Sean Smith and that he will learn the technique to be the top corner in 2016. He will probably start the opener in Smiths position if he is suspended, though.

When he talked to him for the first time after being drafted he immediately asked him if he is ready to come in and help us win a championship...obviously setting the bar high.

Said Peters loves Al Harris and was a big fan of his growing up.

Says he has the best ball skills of any defensive back in the draft.

I really love this pick.

Peters not particularly fast, not particularly quick

he looked fluid though


In other news, we will see Snoop wearing chiefs jersey even more now. Several rappers wore Priest Holmes jersey. :)

Dorsey also said they had 3 calls to trade down by people wanting to draft Peters and had 1 call going to move up, but wouldn't say for who.

There is nothing that makes my dick harder than a Husky becoming a Chief in the 1st round of the draft. Going to get me both his college and chief jerseys.

DJ and I have had this conversation before, but projecting corners or drafting them recently has been pretty tough for teams.

I think, and I reiterate, I think a lot of it is that teams draft guys at corner who are extremely athletic and fast etc. they used that in college to be good corners, never really developing technique and the nuances of playing corner.

As a corner, you can't utilize said speed in the nfl if you aren't sound technically (sp?). Peters is pretty developed as a corner, is coming into a good situation to learn, and plays a little faster than he times.

He also said he sent Chris Ballard to Oakland on Monday/Tuesday of THIS WEEK to meet MP at his home to meet his family and get a feel for him more as a person and that the visit sold them on him as a guy they wanted to draft.

Look, if Reid was able to wrangle Desean and all his drama, I think he'll be just fine with Peters in KC.

I do like the attitude he brings

It is so nice to once again be happy with our 1st round pick.

Its nice to draft impact players for a change.

Feels like we are growing up and trying to become an NFL team and franchise.
