Mayock on Flowers

[CupidStunt]

"If that 4.55 is a 4.45, he's a top-10 pick."

Guys, this dude is a f'ing STUD and will be a BEAST in our cover-two.

What did we all get sick of the most? That pussy Ty Law or Nap Harris whiffing on tackles. Flowers tackles better than every LINEBACKER on our team, nevermind DBs!

ROCK ON!!!!!!

[JBucc]

I cannot BELIEVE this draft.

[milkman]

3 picks.

3 game one starters.

These guys should be the foundation for the Chiefs for the next 10 years.

Can't do much better than that.

[KcMizzou]

And yet... we still have a crap load of picks. LMAO

[Chiefs Pantalones]

We should trade back into the 2nd round. Realistically all 13 picks won't be starters, duh, and we should keep wheeling and dealing while the talent is still heavy this early in the draft.

[Fairplay]

Let's see what moron around here disagrees with that pick. :$2500:

Darn right. We need as many starters as possible and the probability of that happening goes down with every round.

[CupidStunt]

I wouldn't be opposed to waiting another 10 picks or so and then trading a couple threes and another garbage pick or two for a mid-late two ... depending on who's there.

Quentin Groves would be fantastic value to get after the passer with Hali and Dorsey.

That makes me feel better. What a highlight reel.

[buddha]

I just keep pinching myself. I can't believe that this draft is coming from the Chiefs. Is it safe to assume that Carl is tied up in a closet with duct tape across his mouth?

[keg in kc]

The thing this year, with the Dorsey and Flowers pick, is that they took two of the top players off of a couple of good defenses, rather than backup linemen or LBs who happened to be on the team with them. Part of that is the draft position, of course, but it's a nice change from the early '00s...

[Bowser]

Let's hope. The lack of UCLA players drafted by us thus far bodes well.

[KCChiefsMan]

man if we can get 1 draft steal in the next few rounds or 1 sleeper that turns out to be a stud. BEST DRAFT EVAH!!

[Chief Faithful]

The last two drafts have been very good, but this is turning out to be the best in decades. I am so pleased to see the team stocking up on so much young talent. Herm is doing a great job.

[melbar]

Dorsey is arguably the #1 talent in the entire draft. Albert is a top 10 rated player by most. Flowers was considered top ten talent till he ran his 40 and just ran 1/10th slower than what scouts wanted.

3 top ten talent players in our first 3 picks!! This is a great day Chiefs fans!!

[melbar]

We're drafting players not just athletes who test well.

This draft gets me soooo hard

[Wilson8]

We should trade back into the 2nd round. Realistically all 13 picks won't be starters, duh, and we should keep wheeling and dealing while the talent is still heavy this early in the draft.

KC could do it but they are going to have to give up some draft picks. For example the NFL trade value charts show the Chiefs would have to give up their top 3rd (73 slot) worth 225 points, their 4th worth 84 points, plus their top 6th round pick worth 23 points, (total of 332 points) to get Miami's 2nd round pick 330 points. I know they don't always go by this chart, but they follow it pretty close.

[Wilson8]

That is the 2nd Miami pick (26th in 2nd round) so maybe they would be willing to trade for 3 picks, 3rd, 4th, and 6th. It's just not cheap coming back into the second round.

[Miles]

Amen. I'd be all for it.

Still have some hope that it happens.

[cdcox]

Flowers reminds me alot of Sean Taylor.

Or Kevin Ross.

[buddha]

Great point! All three of these guys are players...not prospects. Not a Siavii in site.

[MOhillbilly]

Or Kevin Ross.

chills

[buddha]

Kevin Ross is a much better comparison than Sean Taylor. Taylor was full of measurables (size, speed, etc.) Flowers isn't that guy. Ross, on the other hand, was never fast enough, big enough...all he did was hit the crap out of people and make plays.

[whoman69]

I'm usually very critical of our draft picks. No dissent thus far. The film shows he is a talker after the play, but I think we have been missing some emotional fire on defense and he might be able to provide some of that. Part of the game today is swagger.
Before anyone starts annointing us champions, let's be reminded that neither of the free agents we got on our piss poor offensive line are going to be real difference makers. Anthony Alibi has never started and he's coming from Miami? Pretty much the same with Wade Smith from that powerhouse Jets line. We still have some giant holes to fill and relying on rookies for all those holes is going to be painful to watch at times.

yeah after looking it up Taylor had 4in and 22 pounds on Flowers but hes just got that "look" like you know hes gonna do something if a play comes his way.

Agreed. But all in good time. For today, there is a lot to like about this draft. Something positive for the Chiefs fans to savor...a nice change.

Best CB drafted by us since Dale Carter who also started in his rookie year and made an immediate impact.

Part of that is the draft position, of course, but it's a nice change from the early '00s...That's a great point. It's kind of the difference between drafting "Julius Peppers' teammate" and "Julius Peppers."

The thing is, we picked some players with real potential to be stars in the NFL, and we have some young guys already starting, with, potentially, a couple more players from tomorrow who will be big contrutors.

These guys will struggle early, but we'll get the chance to watch them grow and mature as the season progresses.

We could be really competitive by '09, and real contenders in a couple of years.

[MOhillbilly]

Dale Carter was amazing... for a while. He was my favorite player.
ya he was awesome at chasing guys down.

[Don417]

Okay, a little something I noticed on your video. Looks like he likes hitting more than wrapping up. Which works in college. But if he trys that in the NFL guys are just gonna bounce off and race for the endzone. Hopefully, they can teach how to actually make a tackle.

[KcMizzou]

ya he was awesome at chasing guys down.Nah, Carter was a top-notch corner for a couple of years. One of the best in the league. IIRC, the first time he touched the ball, he ran a punt back for a TD.

I was a kid, and I loved the guy. Unfortunately, he had off the field "issues".

[Baby Lee]

Dale Carter was amazing... for a while. He was my favorite player.

Loved those years where the play-by-play was "Carter and Hasty have people blanket-. . and there's Thomas with another coverage sack. . . "

[Oh Snap]

this guy hits like Pollard. Damn, can you imagine pairing those two up on the same side of the field? WR are going to be shitting themselves.

[eazyb81]

Amazing pick.

Amazing first day.

I feel like I'm dreaming and I'm going to wake up and see Junior Siavii and Eddie Freeman picks.

That's who I was thinking of when I saw his film. Now if Dorsey ends up being Neil Smith and Albert ends up being like Roaf ... :D:D:D

[Mr. Laz]

Kevin Ross is a much better comparison than Sean Taylor..
agreed

at the very least i expect Flowers to becomes a quality safety

[Hammock Parties]

Actually he reminds me a bit of Benny Sapp.

Did we keep Benny Sapp? I like him.

Ok I'll show you what I believe you are referring to..

Off-the-field concerns emerged when he posted a picture featuring a large amount of cash and a small baggie of what appears to be drugs along with a disturbing caption on his Facebook page, although it bears pointing out that sources close to him vouch for his character and maintain that he did not take the photo, post the image or write the words...

Here's the story and picture and caption in question..

I read that he was arrested for gun possession in '05 but charges were dropped because it turned out to be a pellet gun. Hopefully Herm's sermons will keep him in line.

Personally I think he is comparable to Al Harris, Antoine Winfield, or a poor man's Charles Woodson. He's the most physical corner in this draft and is not afraid to throw his body around when needed.

He doesn't have elite timed speed but he doesn't really need it to be a big playmaker in our Tampa 2 scheme. Not the best pure cover skills but has elite instincts to make up for it - just has a habit of being in the right place at the right time and is great in run support.

[Mr. Kotter]

Wow. This guy looks like he'll be starting on opening day. Great tackler.

Wow. If that film is any indication....opponents only prayer will be going DEEP against us. Seriously.

As long as this is the extent of any such problems, Flowers was a steal of a pick at this spot. Hopefully his fascination with money doesn't lead him to the strip clubs to make it rain with the likes of Pacman. I'd love to see him become a stellar DB for the Chiefs.

[jjchieffan]

One thing comes to mind when talking about hard hits. The movie The Longest Yard, when the inmate hits the guard, and afterward says, "I think he shit himself" I wanted to imbed the clip, but could not find it on you tube and too late at night to F with it now.

Guy isn't afraid to come up and pop someone.

Something about the defensive guys we took that I like; not only the phyical skills to play, but some 'swagger'; I think this team (offense and defense) could use an injection of such.

Just what you want with a cover 2 cb; gotta make the tackles. nice. Good play on the ball while it's in the air too.

[CupidStunt]

Q: How did you pile up 18 tackles for loss as a cornerback?

FLOWERS: “When I blitz I love to make plays. I’m the type of corner that loves to get physical. If I’m on the line with no receivers and just playing the tight end, I love to play off the tight end blocking and go hit a running back in the mouth and make a play.”
