Let's party.

[Direckshun]

Notable measurements so far among the RBs:

Tarik Cohen of North Carolina A&T could be a sleeper. This guy is very small (5'6", 179), but Tyreek Hill will be enticing teams to draft him if he's very fast. He's got very big hands for a small dude.

Leonard Fournette (LSU) comes in huge at 6'1", 240 lbs.

Samaje Perine (OU) continues to entice me the most at 5'11", 233 lbs, with 10" hands.

Brian Hill (Wyoming) is tall at 6'1", that will scare teams off a bit.

Tons of bellcows this year. Lots of RBs over 220 lbs.

[Direckshun]

34" arms or longer among the OL:

Jerry Ugokwe (William & Mary)
Sam Tevi (Utah)
Garett Bolles (Utah)
Justin Senior (Mississippi State)
Ben Braden (Michigan)
Dion Dawkins (Temple)
Kyle Fuller (Baylor)
Dorian Johnson (Pittsburgh)
Javarius Leamon (South Carolina State)
Damien Mama (USC)
Conor McDermott (UCLA)
Jordan Morgan (Kutztown)
Taylor Moton (Western Michigan)
Cam Robinson (Alabama)
David Sharpe (Florida)

36"+ arms (!!!):

Julie'n Davenport (Bucknell)
Roderick Johnson (Florida State)

[Direckshun]

And yes, you saw correctly, OL Dan Skipper of Arkansas came in at 6'10".

Wow.

Only has 33" arms, though.

Which will be interesting to see if many of these guys will still play that heavy since the Leveon Bell situation.

[Rain Man]

Julie'n Davenport (Bucknell)


Are these conjoined twins? And is it Julie or Davenport who was invited to the combine?

Now that I think about it, how would the NFL handle conjoined twins? Would they count as one person on the field or two? Would it depend on how many legs they have?

Leonard Fournette: I Didn't Get Fat, That Was Just Water Weight (http://deadspin.com/leonard-fournette-i-didnt-get-fat-that-was-just-water-1792936154)

Former LSU running back Leonard Fournette weighed in at 240 pounds at this year’s NFL combine, making him the heaviest running back in the draft class. Evaluators were apparently expecting Fournette to weigh a little less, but he eased their minds at a post-weigh-in press conference.

Fournette told reporters that he had expected to weigh 235 pounds, and that the extra five pounds was owed to drinking too much water. “I drank a lot of water before I weighed in,” said Fournette. “So it was water weight. It went away completely.”

Fournette is one of the best players in the draft and is projected to go somewhere in the top five. We look forward to seeing him in training camp, at which point he can join the long NFL tradition of having unflattering photos lead to speculation about whether or not he is indeed fat.

Why? Tyreek Hill is the same player, but much faster.

I just don't get the love for drafting this kid. We need a true RB that can pound the ball up the middle between the tackles.

McCaffrey reminds me a lot of DAT.

[RippedmyFlesh]

No way they are taking a rb/gadget guy in the 1st. They can get a good back in the 3-4th rounds. Positional value. Mc is no Elliot.

[Rain Man]

The variation in coordination among offensive linemen is quite intriguing. Some guys look like athletes, and a few of them seem really uncoordinated and awkward.

What would we think if the Chiefs drafted Forrest Lamp? I'm hearing that he could be late-first round material as a guard, and he would slot in to really take the OL up another notch.

[BryanBusby]

I'd wonder if Parker Ehringer has aids, if Lamp were the pick.

[Rain Man]

I'd wonder if Parker Ehringer has aids, if Lamp were the pick.

I guess I keep forgetting about him. He was a mid-round rookie who missed most of the season, so I don't feel like he should have a starting spot locked down.

[BryanBusby]

I think at this point you have to really consider if Lamp is comparable to other first round Guards in terms of skill and upside, or he's being inflated for not being trash in a year of trash offensive line class.

I'd tend to lean towards the later.

Hard to see Ehinger so easily usurped.. but the truth is.. can we straight-faced say that he should be considered irreplaceable? :shake:

Would be a move to make the OL strong as all ****. Can't say it is the right move, and not more of a luxury... but if KC is going offense.. and non-QB.. well then.. still don't love it (even if it protects my boo).. but...

Peppers is a SS/LB and Berry is a FS

Peppers would replace Ron Parker and/or Eric Murray

Unless you think that Eric Murray is going to blow up then Peppers is a big upgrade at SS. Our run defense suffered when we move Berry back to FS, this would solve that issue.

LB McMillan would help shore up the middle of our D as well.

[Dante84]

I keep seeing him get knocked for not being able to turn the corner. His straight line speed is elite, but a lot of prognosticators seem to think he isn't good enough at collapsing the pocket from the side.

Ok.

I don't really feel that the third level of defense was the problem for the opposing rush. I think Ron Parker and Berry are very good starters... which explains my confusion for your post. I think they are sufficiently interchangeable. McMillan's ok, but I'm not at all convinced he's any better than the options we already have.

Ford had a great start to the year and then disappeared.

In the instance that Houston is not healthy or that Ford isn't all that he's cracked up to be, it'd be great to have that 3rd guy.

Right now that job is still falling to Tamba, and that's no bueno.

[Bowser]

A little of both, but I'd say more to do with Ford. I don't trust in him to be a week in week out difference maker, and I think that affects his status with us as he gets to the end of his contract. Now, if Houston comes back ready to go and they move him to Hali's spot to give Ford the left side (the side he's looked far and away better at), then I have the right to change my mind. That's a lot of "ifs", though.

Right now Zombo is a better option than Hali as a starter, and I say that loving Hali. Tamba is just done, unfortunately. He should be used as a pass rusher on third down exclusively, imo. He doesn't have it in him to be an every down linebacker, even a two down linebacker.

[Mr. Laz]

If we go defense with our round 1, I want an edge rusher.

Certainly a possibility if a good one falls.


Peppers is an elite talent but might fall because he's a tweener.

A tweener that will fit our system really well.

I think they are sufficiently interchangeable. McMillan's ok, but I'm not at all convinced he's any better than the options we already have.
I just disagree about Ron Parker being very good.

Parker is a poor tackler and that doesn't work at SS imo. Towards the end of the year, Ron Parker was more or less moved to slot corner. He is not really a SS and our run defense showed it.

Berry - FS
Peppers - SS (Day 1 starter imo)
Parker - left at Safety/Slot coverage in Sutton's weird multiple safety schemes

Just one possibility

Of course, if a Pass Rusher falls that would be of more value. You always include positional value into your selection.

[RunKC]

I like Peppers but I don't think we'll take him. Sorenson did really well in coverage and Berry is a SS along with Murray.
Seems like they can get by with good production there from less valued resources.

IMO we need to attack the LB's if a QB isn't available and there are some beasts out there. Cunningham, Davis, Reddick at ILB, Harris Willis, Watt at OLB.

I think the run problems were mostly due to poor ILB play and the pass rush being an issue for 2 years has been a huge problem.

I also think it fits great. CB and S are really deep this year.

That sounds like a lot of work when the Chiefs are just fine with a Parker and Berry S duo.

McMillan is going to be a guy that's better suited for a 4 DL kind of Defense.

ILB Reddick. Blew up the Senior Bowl, great combine numbers. Gotta think he's at the top of Dorseys list.

[philfree]

ILB Reddick. Blew up the Senior Bowl, great combine numbers. Gotta think he's at the top of Dorseys list.

Yes he did. He seems like a good fit for the Chiefs as an ILB who can also rush the passer. Would not be upset with that but this draft is so deep on defense that there could an outstanding edge player available when we pick. As bad as people want to take a chance on a QB it'll be hard to pass on the D talent. WE could draft to the strength of the draft and the strength of the Chiefs and stock the D.

[RunKC]

History tells us a lot about what Dorsey looks for and what he was taught.

QB's from GB when Dorsey was there: Aaron Rodgers, Brian Brohm, Ingle Martin, Matt Flynn
QB's Dorsey in KC: Tyler Bray, Aaron Murray, Kevin Hogan

It's not a coincidence that every single one of these QB's took snaps under center in college and went through progressions.
That's obviously what Dorsey prefers, and only a few of those guys are in this draft (Kaaya, Peterman).

[BryanBusby]

Peterman seems like the exact QB they would take, to be brutally honest.

Safe, noodle arm, experienced.

Also, I think you're wrong on your assessment if you think all of those dudes fit together. Two of them really stick out.

I don't get the hate for this kid. There are very few QB's who have strong arms and most of those guys flamed out.

It's all about what's between the ears.

[BryanBusby]

A QB doesn't have to be able to swing it 70 yards down the field from his knees, but your starting QB should be able to make every NFL throw. If he can't than you need to upgrade.

Peterman is one of those QB's and drafting a kid that you could instantly do better than them is silly. Late era Chad Pennington had a lot between the ears and it just didn't fucking matter because he couldn't make every throw.

[O.city]

There's a certain baseline level for arm strength. If the guy is at that, it's fine.

Accuracy, pocket presense and intelligence are above arm strength in my book.

[O.city]

This corner back class is pretty insane.

Exactly, this. He is the QB that I am most expecting Andy to want.

ILB Reddick. Blew up the Senior Bowl, great combine numbers. Gotta think he's at the top of Dorseys list.

An A+ choice, if Reddick is even available at 27.

[O.city]

Don't give a **** how smart you are if you physically can't make the throws.

As I said, there's a certain arm strength baseline. You don't have to be stafford, but you can't be Pennington either.

Intelligence anticipation and accuracy can make up alot for arm strength.

[ChiefAshhole1056]

I see the intrigue with Peppers, I do, but I think a team taking him in the first has ambitions of using him on all 3 phases because of his playmaking ability, and I dont see KC having much value in a player like that at this point.

When you look at him strictly as a S/LB, his tape just does not have round 1 footage to me. I dont think he's within the top 8 of Dorsey's shortlist.

Watson also performed his way out of our consideration this weekend, I'd be flabbergasted if he even fell to the mid-teens.

I'm a big fan of Mahomes and his tape, but man this combine disappointed me. Not to the point of Kizer though, I want nothing to do with him after that showing.

[The Franchise]

Damn Lattimore is fast.

[The Franchise]

I'll take Kevin King in the 3rd.

This is one hell of a good corner class.

I think anything below Watson isn't enough in the arm strength department.

[BossChief]

Damn...I bet we could get BIGTIME upgrades to Acker and Gaines in the 4th and 5th rounds in this draft.

Guys that would push Nelson and Mitchell for playing time...and that's NOT a slam on Mitchell or Nelson...this draft class is extremely deep and talented. GMs know it and because of the depth, teams won't rush to pick them early.

I bet KC could get a guy at 27 that would normally go in the 10-15 range, too.

I can't wait to see what Dorsey does. I can see him moving up from that second round slot to the mid second and then moving up from the third to try and get back into the late second/early third range using some late rounders.

I'd love to see Dorsey trade his first this year for a first next year and a second this year...still take a first round guy in the second and load up with an extra first for next year in the process.

Welp if QB isn't there at 27 I could see CB. Top 15 talent falls down the board and we snatch em up just like Chris Jones.

I ain't mad at it

I wonder what round KC could get Utah CB Brian Hill? Looks like a good perimeter option to compete with Gaines and Mitchell.

6' 3" - 215 lbs - 34" arms - 10" hands - 4.48 official 40

Mitchell is only signed through 2017 and Gaines/Acker need upgraded.

I'd have no problem if Dorsey took a corner at 27 if he feels that strongly about someone...hell, I'd have no problem if he went right back in the third and took another corner, either.

Strike while the iron is hot and see if they can play Mitchell into a big contract elsewhere in FA so KC gets another comp pick after 2017.

Corners get stupid money in FA, so if KC can get a couple guys on super cheap rookie deals, he absolutely should before our current CBs get too expensive.

If KC comes out of their first 4 picks with 2cbs, a QB and a linebacker, I'll be happy.

Mitchell and Gaines are entering the final year of their contracts
Nelson is only signed through 2018

I could see KC going after at least 2 corners in this draft

I can't see the Chiefs investing a fifth of their entire haul on a spot they gave a lot of attention to a year ago.

Would require some moving down for more choices

Danie Jeremiah said he's heard a lot of buzz around these CB's. Said the consensus is up to 16 corners could be drafted in the first 2 rounds.

[KChiefs1]

It's kind of puzzling who our 1st rd pick could be. Mahomes, Watson, Reddick will all be gone by the late teens at most.



I wouldn't be surprised at all if we took someone like Charles Harris at 27.



I could live with that.

The QB class isn't up to snuff according to several experts & Dorsey.

That sounds like a lot of work when the Chiefs are just fine with a Parker and Berry S duo.

McMillan is going to be a guy that's better suited for a 4 DL kind of Defense.

I'm not fine with Parker, he's a JAG at SS.

He's not physical and doesn't tackle well.

Our run defense took a hit when Berry moved back and Parker was at SS.

we ended up moving Parker to the slot.

[BossChief]

Parker is a big reason we haven't given up many big plays. His speed and coverage instincts back there are very underrated.

Maybe like Donnie Edwards at running back, running around down field making tackles.

Parker doesn't attack, doesn't tackle well

He's in the lead for most plays standing around the pile trying to look busy.

He's better at playing a FS/CB type position which is where he ended up towards the end of last year.

Even Sorenson is better in the box than Parker.

[O.city]

Parker play any snaps at SS last year?

Roby is a disappointment being the reason
