[MotherfuckerJones]

I really wanna spend a 4th on Jaylen Samuels. I think he could be really good here.

You got me on board a couple weeks ago

[RunKC]

Well shit if we’re going to have a token white DB out here get Troy Apke to replace Sorenson.

4.35 and 16 bench reps. Most impressive white DB I’ve seen in years LMAO

[MotherfuckerJones]

Man these safeties were flying in their 40 times

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This may have already been talked about, but has anyone saw this Mike Gesicki’s combine performance? Holy tits.

That guy has Kelce level athleticism.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Watching some guys now. The more I watched Nathan Shepherd, the more I like him.
Not a big fan of Josh Sweat’s tape. Just didn’t like his effort.
Lorenzo Carter would be a good option at edge. I like his effort, tackling and can even drop into coverage some.

Carter’s pass rushing techniques need work and refinement, but I think we could help him out a lot there with Houston here to pass along the things that he learned from Tamba. Add that with his athleticism and you might have a great player.

[BryanBusby]

I think Carter shot himself up and out of our range over the weekend.

Awesome that interviewed Dickson the Texas punter.

[KChiefs1]

Y’all really think Payne goes that high?


Definitely

[Coogs]

Not sure how I feel about Settle. Watched him work today and he didn’t seem to have good balance. His 40 and 10 time was slow but his 3 cone was solid for a dude that big. He had a 7.95 compared to Poe’s 7.90, so that’s encouraging.

I would be excited with him but he’s not my favorite DL. Probably the 2nd best NT after Vea.

What was the drill back in 2002 for Ryan Sims that showed he didn't deserve to be drafted where we took him at 6th overall? Was that the 3 cone?

Tim Krumrie used to do a slap drill that pissed off Pete Carroll


It really made me laugh

[ForeverChiefs58]

Here is an article about our old d-line coach and his famous drill



Tim Krumrie – A Guy You're Glad Isn't Your Dad

Any male in modern times at some point has to take on the old man. A rite of passage some may say; be it arm wrestling, slapfighting or sometimes even real punches. One guy who you should be happy isn’t your dad, but is the Chiefs Defensive Line coach, former Bengal All-Pro Tim Krumrie.


Krumrie is entering his 26th year in the NFL as a player and coach. Even at 47, he runs 3 miles a day, does a “toned-down” 800 sit-ups and 45 minutes of floor exercises…and that’s not counting beating down NFL prospects less than half his age to the point of exhaustion in practice. He’s a two-time Pro-Bowler and NFL Pro Day “closer”, the guy brought in to see what the players are really made of. A coach the Chiefs are lucky to have. Without a Krumrie sack of Don Majkowski in 1992, you may never have heard from a guy named Brett Farve. (Hat tip to The Capital Times Madison, WI)


Krumrie also is notorious for suffering one of the worst injuries in NFL history and it happened to be in SuperBowl XXIII against the 49ers. While tackling Roger Craig, Krumrie’s leg was hideously shattered in three places, he had to have a 15-inch steel rod put in his leg, but managed to return for training camp the next season. The video of him breaking the leg was so graphic YouTube took it down. There is a new series called “The Missing Rings” that NFL Films is producing that will re-hash the incident.


You might remember during USC’s pro day a short time ago, USC coach Pete Carroll got his panties in a bunch when the 47 year-old Krumrie worked over 22 year-old Sedrick Ellis and others. Carroll got angry when NFL coaches put Ellis, Lawrence Jackson and others through a “hand-fighting” drill with Krumrie. The players had to knock away Krumrie’s arms until they almost fell from exhaustion.

“I’m still light-headed,” Ellis said.

“The drill in question involved Krumrie heavily laying his hands on the shoulders of the defensive linemen. They are to slap his hands off. It went on for several minutes for each of the players. Ellis went first, then Jackson, then [Alex] Morrow. Ellis was the toughest of the bunch, with Jackson ultimately wearing down and lying exhausted on the ground. It was then that Carroll began fuming.


“That won’t happen again here,” Carroll said.
(with just a little bit of bitch in his voice –Damage)

So let me get this straight… paying your players is OK, but letting a 47 year-old guy with a 15-inch-steel-rod-in-his-leg-that makes-airport-travel-a-blast working your sissy players over is unacceptable? I have news for you Petey Pablo…those aren’t your players anymore!!! They are about to be someone’s property in the NFL and teams need the toughest old dog they can find to see where the breaking point is for some of these future multi-millionaires.

“I want to see if he quits. I want to see what’s in his gut when he’s fatigued. Does he stop? Does he turn and cuss at you? Or will he compete no matter what?” Krumrie said as he tore the L.A phone book in half.

So all hail Tim Krumrie! King of old-man strength! (OMS) He’s had the Pro-Bowls, the playoff wins, the 10+ year career, crazy coaching stories and the gnarly injury for the world to see. The only thing missing from his career is a ring, and I hope to God he gets it or he is going to kick all of our asses!

Oklahoma CB Jordan Thomas broke the NFL Combine record for the 3-cone with a 6.28.

Since 2006, the closest 3-cone for defensive backs was a 6.44 by Buster Skrine and Jeff Maehl, a receiver, had the record at 6.42. So not only did Thomas secure the record, he smashed it. We double checked and the time was correctly reported by the event. And to take it one step further, five of the top 15 3-cone times for defensive backs were recorded this year.

I’m not on the Settle bandwagon unless we need a true NT. I am full on Nate Shepherd/BJ Hill right now.

BJ Hill killed the combine and has played very well against good competition, so if you want more of a sure thing than a small school guy like Shepherd this is your guy.

I highly doubt Harrison Phillips or Taven Bryan will be there at 54.

Love that! Really like Jackson and Settle. Not a fan of Sweat however. Just didn’t seem to play with fire when I watched some. I’ll watch some more later and see if other games are different.

BJ Hill

6’4” 315 lbs
33 inch arms
10 5/8 hands
35 bench reps
4.99 40

Shepherd got more fun as I watched. Loved his effort and he can rush the passer. He was playing NT and was doubled a lot. When he’s one on one, he can dominate

Meh....change who you want. Anyone but a fucking WR in the 2nd round.

At 310 lbs, Chris Jones ran a 5.03 40 and 7.44 3 cone.

At 315 lbs, BJ Hill ran a 4.99 40 and 7.28 3 cone. Fuck Tim Settle LMAO

So ****ing crazy. A 7.28 3 cone is what slow receivers and fast TE’s run. My God Andy has to have an enormous chubb.

We’re going DL in rd 2 guys. No way does Andy pass on a guy like this

That’s great and all but Hill’s tape is nowhere near as impressive as Settle’s, and Hill had 3 other future NFL players on his DL.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Hill, but I don’t see those measurements quite translating on the football field.

[O.city]

I don't really care what a DL did at the combine.

Depends on FA really. If we sign Star Lotulelei to be our NT, Settle isn’t really a need. I’m not really seeing Settle for our defense as a 5 tech.

Surprised you haven’t mentioned Kendrick Norton from Da U. I think he could be a solid NT and you can get him in the mid rounds.

I agree with that.

I’ve mentioned Norton a couple of times, but I’m just so sold on DL earlier that it hasn’t been much. If we still need a NT in the middle rounds I will definitely be pounding the table for him!

Even evaluators say don’t get too caught up in the combine numbers. Haven’t watched Hill. I will tonight. But I watched Settle and loved him.

[Chargem]

I really like Settle, but NT seems like an easier slot to fill in free agency?

I'm hearing a lot of good things about Shepherd but not found any highlight reels, anyone got a link to some clips?

[The Franchise]

Damn I’d love to draft this kid but not where he’s expected to go.

NFLDraftScout.com's Dane Brugler writes that Notre Dame WR Equanimeous St. Brown is a "prospect with the potential to be a true No. 1 receiver in the NFL."

Brugler likes St. Brown as one of the combine's winners after the 6-foot-5, 214-pounder pumped in 20 reps on the bench press and rolled the 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds. Writes the analyst, "Although he doesn’t play as strong as he benched and needs to polish his routes, St. Brown has an intriguing ceiling once NFL coaches get their hands on him." The wideout's a likely Day 2 selection for the spring.

Watched Marquis Haynes since he was mocked to us. Very Dee Ford esque. Fast as shit, worker bee, can’t anchor well.

I wouldn’t mind having a guy like that in rd 4 as a 3rd down specialist. No problem drafting those kinda guys later in the draft.

Or he could be our ILB with the ability to play OLB on 3rd down. Dude is so smooth and moves so well. Really could fill DJ’s spot.

Just watched some highlights, he looked good. I'd be okay with that in the 4th round, exactly a cheap Dee Ford. I also like taking a later round OLB, rather than using a higher pick which would have greater impact elsewhere.

[RealSNR]

People are going nuts over Tim Settle, but I really wouldn't be surprised after his combine fall from grace to see him get the Jerrell Powe/Cam Thomas treatment from teams and have him fall to the 5th/6th rounds while Chiefs fans go nuts every time Veach passes on him.

It's the same shit as those years. We needed big guys in the middle, and for whatever reason, we weren't able to use our high picks on the position. They eye this one particular dude who looks decent in college, peg him as the ideal 3rd round pick or so, and then when he gets passed multiple times, they go apeshit.

[RunKC]

I’m starting to wonder if it’s a good idea to trade down in rd 2 and pick up an early 4th or late 3rd rd pick.

The value for guys after pick 50 is the same all the way through early rd 4.

That's how I feel. I don't feel we'd be giving up value by converting a later 2nd for another 3rd. Good yesr to clean up in the middle rounds.

I said this in response to you in another thread, but I really like Hill and Yiadom in the 4th out of the corner group.

I bet settle goes in the 3rd round

[MotherfuckerJones]

I’m betting Veach moves up up into the first for Vea

[Tribal Warfare]

I’m betting Veach moves up up into the first for Vea

or Da'Ron Payne

Though if Veach and Dorsey are like minded the Chiefs NT pick will be BJ Hill of NC State. Hill has the measurables and was a Senior Bowl stand out

If we are moving up, those are exactly the kind of signings I want.

[Chargem]

I haven't seen him play but from the snippets of scouting reports, he doesn't have much pass rush? I would have thought that makes him less attractive as a r1 pick.

Around 20 probably however Josh Jackson is really weird, his highlight tape is awesome and he is a playmaker on the ball...however he actively avoids contact in the run game.

[CoMoChief]

Any chance Christian Kirk lasts to our 1st pick in 2nd rd?

Watkins, Hill, Kirk, Kelce, Hunt...with Mahomes firing darts all over the field would be a pretty sick nasty core group of badassery.

I was thinking more along the lines of Dylan Cantrell late in the draft. He had the highest SPARQ score for receivers at the Combine. He played in high school with Mahomes. He was roommates in college with Mahomes. He is huge at 6'3 and 230 pounds. He has great hands. He has great leaping ability at almost 40 inch vertical.

Cantrell has super high character and Mahomes can vouch for that. They would have instant chemistry together due to their history. He would be a nice guy to have with his size, hands, and leaping ability if Kelce gets hurt again. Chiefs offense pretty much fell apart without Kelce creating those matchup nightmares for the defense.

Looks like a great fit for KC, especially considering his time with Mahomes. Can play WR or in the slot. A big WR with the athleticism to get open and make contested catches. Would be pretty handy in the red zone. Currently rated a 6th round pick at NFLdraftscout and drafttek but rising on both boards.

Will be 24 in June, missed a season with a back injury, and played in the Air Raid offense could be hurting his ranking. If he balls out at his pro day, Chiefs might have to use one of their 4th round picks to get him, but I think he'd be worth it. I think he'll be a better NFL WR than D. Robinson.

DL Foley Fatukasi from Connecticut is another SPARQ hero if Veach loves metrics as much as Dorsey.

Man, I just don't know about Barkley and taking him that high. I know he tested crazy and had a good year, but I just don't know that he's a legit top 5 guy.

I like the Georgia RB's just as well.

Anymore, if a team wants to draft what they believe is an elite RB it starts at the # 20 overall pick and down. ( QB purgatory realm)
